1, engineering machinery is an important part of the US and European economies
In 2012, America and EU project machinery industry output value reached 330000000000 euros and 630000000000 euros.
2, mechanical engineering is an important force to promote the growth of employment
At present, the field of construction machinery in employment USA and EU were respectively 1000000 and 3000000. Construction machinery industry in the development of the EU are mainly for foreign markets, and America is mainly for the domestic market. At present, America industrial policy adjustment, attempts to expand exports to boost employment, attach importance to the construction machinery industry to further improve the
3, engineering machinery is the key field of the United States and Europe bilateral trade development
In the US and Europe bilateral trade, the importance of engineering machinery than the auto industry. Since 2012, the EU American import machinery products accounted for about 16700000000 euros, total imports from USA 9%; exports of machinery USA 37000000000 euros, accounting for about 13% of total exports of America.
In 28 members of the European Union, Germany America export of construction machinery products in 2012 reached 36%, the highest proportion, followed by Italy, Britain, France and Holland. The United States has become the German mechanical engineering the worlds second largest export market.
4, engineering machinery is a key field of EU investment in the United States.
Data show that the United States is engineering machinery industry in Germany in addition to outside the second big investment, accounting for more than 20% of the total FDI. Construction machinery is the second major areas of EU investment in the United States, second only to the chemical industry, far more than the automobile industry.
5, through the TTIP to eliminate tariffs would be saved every year for the United States and Europe two party engineering machinery industry hundreds of millions of euros of expenditure.
6, will be based on the principle of the origin of EU standards into the TTIP, can effectively improve government work efficiency, make medium and small engineering machinery enterprise benefit.
Construction machinery safety standards in the United States and the European Union 7, different, TTIP can pass the relevant standards, formulate a unified specification (such as unified by ISO/IEC international standard) to break the trade barriers between the two, significantly reducing transaction cost.
8, the coordination of standards related to safety aspects will pull the engineering machinery products trade volume between the United States and the EU growth, and further consolidate and promote the cooperation between the two.
In some cases, some EU engineering machinery enterprises need months to coordinate safety review, the United States during this period, the production and operation of enterprises will be affected, it has become one of the main obstacles to the EU enterprises to enter the United States.
9, "a testing, ratification" principle into the TTIP, can effectively reduce the related enterprises certification cost.
In the European Union, security statement manufacturing enterprises have legal effect, but in the United States is different. In order to balance the difference between the two, you can select the third party organization for security and other requirements related to construction machinery product certification, the European Union and the United States can in general, this will greatly reduce the cost of manufacturing enterprises for certification.
10, not because the EU project machinery industry there is no private partner organizations in the United States, will be excluded from the TTIP outside of Engineering machinery.
After all, TTIP negotiation is the government level behavior for individual industries, whether to have private organization level dialogue or consensus is not important.
