烟草在线据印尼Tempo杂志报道编译　　巴西政府可能会考虑按一定的条件进口印尼丁香卷烟。巴西驻印尼大使Paulo Alberto Soares说，巴西希望与印尼进行磋商，解决妨碍双边贸易的问题。

　　2012年5月16日，Paulo Alberto Soares在雅加达的住处与记者会面时说：“我们禁止进口丁香烟是出于健康，但无论如何，我们的进口量并不大。”

　　他说，丁香烟、薄荷卷烟或丁香味卷烟因它们的致瘾特性而被认为对健康有害，巴西也在努力减少卷烟消费。

　　不过，他相信，如果印尼政府也考虑进口巴西产品的话，巴西政府会重新考虑进口丁香烟的问题。

　　他希望向印尼出口牛或牛肉，但印尼政府禁止进口这些产品。他解释说：“我们都在禁止彼此的产品，因此，我们现在必须要做的是进行磋商。”

　　他继续说，磋商将会使得两国政府能够讨论被两国互相禁止的产品。他补充说，巴西敦促印尼政府开放巴西牛肉进口。最近，巴西效仿美国的政策，禁止进口被认为具有致瘾性、能够抑制吸卷烟的消极影响的丁香烟。实际上，巴西禁止包括丁香和薄荷在内的所有加香卷烟。印尼允许进口牛肉，那么我们也会欢迎印尼的出口产品。他说，许多事情是可以通过协商解决的。

    他说，巴西是世界上最大的牛肉生产国和出口国，但向印尼出口牛肉被2009年的关于牲畜与动物健康的18号法律阻止。这项法律规定，印尼政府只能从被宣告没有口蹄疫的国家进口牛肉。到目前为止，印尼采取的是以国家为基础，而不是以地区为基础的牛肉与奶牛进口制度。

    根据联合国的商品贸易统计数字，印尼在2011年间向巴西的出口价值达到19.2亿美元，高于其17.2亿美元的进口价值。印尼向巴西的出口贸易主要由制造产品，以及其他的纺织品与鞋类产品构成，价值13.4亿美元。

　　The Brazilian government could consider reimporting of Indonesian kretek or clove-flavored cigarettes on certain conditions. The Brazilian Ambassador to Indonesia Paulo Alberto Soares said that Brazil wanted to negotiate with Indonesia to address the issues that hampers the bilateral trade.

　　We do ban Kretek imports for health reasons, but our imports were not big anyway,Paulo said in his meeting with reporters at his residence in Jakarta, on May 16, 2012.

　　He said that kretek and menthol cigarettes or clove-flavored cigarettes are considered harmful to health due to their addictive properties, and that Brazil is also making efforts to reduce cigarette consumption.

　　However, he is confident that the Brazilian government would reconsider the import of kretek cigarettes provided the Indonesian government do the same towards Brazilian products.

　　He want to export cows or beef to Indonesia but the government bans the import. We are both banning each others' products, so what we need to do now is negotiate,he explained .

　　The negotiation, he continued, will enable the two governments to discuss the products banned by both countries. Brazil, he added, urges the Indonesian government to open the import of Brazilian beef. Recently Brazil followed the US's policy in prohibiting the import of Kretek which is considered addictive and to be able to suppress negative effects of smoking. Brazil in fact bans all flavored cigarettes including clove and menthol. Indonesia allows the beef import, then we will also welcome Indonesian exports. Many things can be achieved through negotiation,he said.

　　He said that Brazil is the world's largest beef producer and exporter, however, its export to Indonesia has been held back by the Law No. 18 of 2009 regarding Livestock and Animal Health, which stipulates that the government may import beef only from the countries which have been declared free of foot and mouth disease. So far, Indonesia applies a country-based, not zone-based, beef and cow import system.

　　According to UN commodity trade statistics, Indonesia's export to Brazil during 2011 is worth US$1,92 billion, higher than its import worth US$1.72 billion. Indonesia's trade to Brazil primarily comprises export of manufactured products, among others textile and shoes, worth US$ 1,34 billion. Enditem
