DISPUTE SETTLEMENT
EU requests WTO consultations with the Philippines over unfair taxation of spirits
Imported spirits including Spanish brandy and Scotch whisky can face taxes 10 to 50 times higher than those on domestic products, and exports to the Philippines have fallen significantly as a result. The EU has raised the issue repeatedly in recent years without success.

COMMISSIONER ASHTON ON...
...WTO dispute settlement with the Philippines
"This long-running problem has prevented EU exporters from competing fairly in the Philippine market, and has led to a sharp decrease in imports of European spirits. I hope that we can still find an amicable solution to this issue through the consultation process. "
...Economic Partnership Agreement signing with Papua New Guinea
"This agreement is an important step towards a strong and lasting EU-Pacific trade and development partnership. We have already seen how the initialling of the agreement has delivered results, with new investment flowing into the fisheries industry, supporting development in Papua New Guinea and creating jobs."

欧盟提请世贸组织就菲律宾烈酒征税不公事宜同菲律宾交涉
由于菲律宾对于西班牙白兰地和苏格兰威士忌等进口烈酒征收的税率，相比国产烈酒高出10到50倍，欧盟出口至菲律宾的烈酒数量大幅下降。欧盟近年来曾屡次提出交涉，但始终未获解决。

Highly prized for its impeccable engineering and design principles, the tourbillon is one of the most valued complications of collector's watches and premium timepieces, says James Gurney.
There can be few inventions that still manage to fascinate and confuse in equal measure two centuries after their first appearance, but the tourbillon is one such innovation. The watch made little impact on the world for the first 170 years of its life but in recent years the tourbillon bug has bitten - and bitten hard.
Abraham-Louis Breguet invented the tourbillon (French for whirlwind) toward the end of the 18th century, patenting the design in 1801. The idea was to create a device to counter the effects of gravity on the movement of the balance wheel – pocket watches, of course, are usually kept upright. In the most simplistic terms, this meant that balances tended to swing faster down than up. Breguet’s solution was to reduce this error by allowing the entire escapement assembly (balance wheel, escapement and pallet fork) to rotate, thus cancelling out any “positional error”. Less error means greater precision - simple!
The complexity and cost of this solution meant that Breguet only used the tourbillon device on his most expensive watches. Nevertheless, the tourbillon’s complexity also made it desirable as a demonstration of the watchmaker’s skill and craft, and tourbillon pocket watches have continued to be made ever since. The advent of wristwatches saw watchmakers striving to miniaturize ideas developed in pocket watches and the first wristwatch-sized tourbillons appeared in 1948. Tourbillons thereafter remained something of a minority interest until Audemars Piguet produced the first series production tourbillon in 1986.
In the 1990s, nearly 200 years after this quality timepiece was invented, the tourbillon revolution finally took off. Following AP other manufactures began to produce tourbillons as part of their collections, Blancpain being one of the first to follow. But it was not the established manufactures who truly made the tourbillon the must-have watch it is today: it was the new boys, like Daniel Roth with his double faced tourbillon, Franck Muller (Cintrée Curvex, Imperial Tourbillon) and Gerald Genta, who popularised it.

以无暇的制造工艺以及设计理念著称的陀飞轮（tourbillon），是珍贵表品与顶级座钟收藏者最为珍视的复杂功能之一，James Gurney如是说。
诞生两个世纪之后，依然既能令人为之痴迷，又使人困惑不解的发明创造恐怕屈指可数，但陀飞轮就是其中之一。直到最近些年才崭露头角的陀飞轮在，诞生后的前170年中几乎鲜为人知。
18世纪末，钟表巨匠宝玑（Abraham-Louis Breguet）发明了陀飞轮（tourbillon在法语中意为“旋风”），并于1801年正式获得设计专利。陀飞轮的理念是通过一种特殊装置来抵消地心引力对于钟表摆轮运动的影响——因为怀表通常都是竖直放置。简而言之，这意味着摆轮在往下摆动时比向上摆动时要快。宝玑的解决办法是，让整个擒纵系统（摆轮、擒纵轮和擒纵叉）不断旋转，抵消任何“位置差”。而减小误差就意味着提高精度——就是这么简单！
这种方案工艺复杂且成本不菲，因而宝玑仅将陀飞轮装置用于其最昂贵的表品。不过这种复杂性也激起表匠借此展示自己的工艺技巧，从此陀飞轮怀表便不断涌现。制表工匠努力将原为怀表研发的该装置缩小，首个适合腕表的陀飞轮于 1948 年诞生。此后陀飞轮便一直乏人问津，直到 1986 年爱彼（Audemars Piguet）推出首个陀飞轮系列表品。
20世纪90年代，也就是这种优质钟表诞生近200年后，制表行业终于迎来了一场陀飞轮革命。继爱彼之后，其他钟表制造商也开始推出自己的陀飞轮系列，宝珀（Blancpain）就是其中之一。但真正将陀飞轮缔造成为如今必不可少的高端表品地位的制造商，并不是那些成名已久的百年老号，反而是一些后起之秀，比如双面陀飞轮（double faced tourbillon）的创造者Daniel Roth；Cintrée Curvex 和 Imperial Tourbillon 的缔造者 Franck Muller，以及尊达（Gerald Genta），正是他们将陀飞轮发扬光大。

The supremely elegant Marchesa, who switched between Italian and flawless, unaccented, English, pooh-poohed my questions about the estate’s use of barriques, expensive oak barrels from France. “It is simply not true to say the barriques make wines taste the same,” she said. “In Bologna, the sangiovese grape makes Lambrusco, here it is Montesodi. Are they similar?” The dark juice of the sangiovese courses through Tuscany’s veins. It was so prized by the Romans that they named it after their supreme deity – Sanguis Jove, or Jupiter’s Blood. | Translation - Chinese
优雅脱俗的Marchesa夫人，交谈中不断在意大利语和流利且没有任何口音的英语之间随意切换，但在回答我为何庄园使用价格昂贵的法国橡木酒桶这一问题时，显得不屑一顾。她说：“要是说用法国橡木桶酿出的酒和使用其他酒桶没有什么分别，那绝对是错误的。在博洛尼亚，桑乔维塞葡萄酿出来的是Lambrusco葡萄酒，而在我们这里就是Montesodi葡萄酒。难道它们一样吗？桑乔维塞的暗红色汁液仿佛就是托斯卡纳血脉流动的鲜血。古罗马人极为赞誉这种葡萄酒，甚至以他们最高贵的神祗丘比特来命名，将其称为“Sangui Jove”，即丘比特之血。 | English to Chinese: Economy
