我国涉案WTO争端解决的国内法审查以及应对研究

Study on the WTO’s Examination on Cases-related China’s Domestic Laws and Response

随着我国加入WTO之后的国际贸易地位日益提高,贸易争端也接踵而至。我国在WTO被诉争端解决案件均涉及国内法,并不得不接受WTO争端解决机构的审查,从而对我国在扩大改革开放的新形势下如何建立健全国内法制,构成了前所未有的挑战。本文首先在界定此类审查的含义基础上,分析了WTO争端解决机构对已决案或待决案涉及的我国国内法进行审查的实践;然后提出应区分WTO争端解决机构审查我国涉案国内法的一般与特殊标准,并据此结合案例展开我国涉案的分析,指出两者一致的客观评估理念;最后从加强研究WTO法律框架下的国内法解析、建立与之适应的我国涉案国内法的举证机制和依据有关审查标准完善国内法这三方面,提出应对我国涉案的国内法审查以及在新形势下推进我国法制建设的路径。

China faces more trade disputes as her rank of trade status on arising after accession into the WTO. Many domestic laws have been examined by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body, which constitutes the unprecedented challenge for China to improve her domestic legal system while promoting the reform and open door policy. First, this paper gives a definition of WTO’s examination, and an analysis on such examination on China’s domestic laws related to the settled disputes. Secondly, it distinguishes the general standard from the special standard taken by WTO Dispute Settlement Body to examine China’s domestic laws and points out that they are essentially same with the idea of objective assessment from the perspectives of cases analysis. Finally, it suggests that we must study how to construe China’s domestic laws under WTO legal system, and establish the correspondent mechanism of evidences submitted to WTO while continuing improvement of national legislations so as to response WTO’s examination on China’s domestic laws.
