错了!

偷换主语了!

放宽欧盟国家援助法规令造成了不公平!

by the relaxation of the EU’s state aid rules

EU Relaxation of state aid rule ‘puts single market at risk’

欧盟放松国家援助法规“令单一市场面临风险”

背景：新冠疫情是一面镜子，不仅无情地照出个人现实，也将国家的实力和弱点清晰地暴露在世人眼前。虽然同处欧洲单一市场，富国和弱国之间并没有形成互助机制以共渡危机;欧盟反而触发了例外条款，放松了旨在限制国家政府通过经济手段偏袒本国企业的国家援助法规。“团结的欧洲”又一次面临巨大的挑战。欧盟委员会主席乌苏拉·冯德莱恩表示，富国正在靠大笔花钱应对当下的危机，单一市场正变成一个越来越不平等的竞技场，若要维系其凝聚力，欧盟各国应就泛欧洲的救援计划达成一致。毕竟，和婚姻一样，考验联盟关系的不仅有共享繁荣，还有风雨同舟。
