　　出口欧洲大降亚洲市场转弱

Export European big drop the Asian market weakness

　　今年7月份外贸表现差劲，主要受到亚洲及欧洲部分主要出口目的地市场录得较大幅度的下跌有关。政府发言人解释，由于欧元区主权债务危机继续显著拖累全球经济活动，商品出口表现在7月份依然疲弱。输往欧盟的出口进一步大幅下滑，而多个亚洲市场亦续见弱势。

　　厂商会：圣诞订单跌5%至20%

Manufacturers association：Christmas orders fell 5% to 20%

　　经营玩具厂的厂商会副会长颜吴余英表示，对于目前出口数字录得下跌，相信未来亦不容乐观。她料8至10月的出口跌幅将更为严重，由圣诞订单量减少可以看出端倪。根据玩具业界反映，圣诞订单方面普遍较去年减少5%至20%不等，主要受欧洲生意接单量下跌影响，尤其是西班牙、意大利、希腊等欧债重灾区。

　　至于未来出口状况会否进一步下跌，颜吴余英认为，业界对第4季订单仍处观望态度，但相信量方面会有下跌，亦会出现「急单」，不少客户「不够胆」下大单，今年整体出口情况较去年波动。另外成本上升，厂商无办法100%转嫁成本，加剧出口下跌。她补充，业界产品的单价今年有所调升，若未来出口货值下降，可以看出货量方面下跌幅度其实更为严重。

As for the future export situation will be no further to fall，YanWu YuYing think，The fourth season of order is still in wait-and-see attitude，But believe that the burden will fall，Also can appear "urgent single"，A lot of customers is "bravery" big single，This year the overall export situation than last year fluctuation。In addition the rise in the cost of，Manufacturers no way to 100% on cost，Aggravate exports fell。She added，Industry products unit price to rise this year，If the future export value decline，We can see in shipments declines in fact more serious。
