摘要
在经济全球化的背景下,以自贸区为主的区域贸易安排迅速发展,与世界贸易组织并行推进世界贸易自由化,并将成为改变世界经济贸易格局的重要力量。主要国家通过建立自贸区开拓经贸发展空间,实施外交、安全战略。我国顺应国际趋势,积极推进自贸区商建工作,将建立自贸区作为进一步扩大对外开放的重要举措。自贸区在为缔约方带来经济、政治利益的同时,也极有可能给缔约方的敏感产业造成压力或冲击。反倾销、反补贴和保障措施是WTO成员在多边贸易自由化进程中应对进口产品冲击的常用手段,是成员对外贸易法律和政策的重要组成部分。在区域贸易自由化中,这些贸易救济措施同样受到成员的重视,贸易救济是成员签署的自贸协定中不可或缺的内容。
本文作者结合从事贸易救济调查和参加自贸区谈判的经验,对自贸协定中的贸易救济问题进行研究。首先分析了WTO贸易救济措施的法律规范、特点和使用情况,为理解主要成员在自贸协定下如何制定贸易救济规则打下基础;其次分析了自贸区的发展趋势及影响,揭示了贸易救济措施在建立自贸区进程中的作用;再次,运用比较研究的方法,对世界主要国家地区在自贸协定中对贸易救济措施采取的处理方法和原因进行分析,对我国在商建自贸区过程中如何妥善运用贸易救济规则维护出口利益、防范进口冲击提出建议。
With the development of globalization, regional trade agreements flourish and become an important force in promoting world trade as the World Trade Organization (WTO). Major players among WTO members use free trade agreements (FTAs) as a strategy to expand trade spaces and a tool to serve foreign policy and safety policy. China follows the trend and pursues FTAs vigorously and treats FTAs as a step to further implementing its open……door policy. FTAs can not only bring economic and political benefits to its members, but also bring pressure and confrontation to its sensitive sectors. Anti……dumping, countervailing and safeguard measures are measures frequently used by WTO members in coping with import pressure in multilateral trade liberalization process and are important part of member’s foreign trade legislation and policy. Trade remedy measures receive the same regard in regional trade liberalization and are an integrated part in FTAs.
The author focus on trade remedy issues in FTAs with her experience in trade remedy investigation and FTAs negotiation. The study starts with the introduction about the legal matters relating to WTO trade remedy measures, aims to provide a background to understanding the trade remedy rules stipulated by members in FTAs. The study analyses the regional integration trend and its effect on member’s economy, uses comparative method in analysis how major players treat trade remedy measures in its FTAs. The study makes several proposals with regard to use trade remedy rules to protect China’s interests and avoid negative impacts.
