析GATS下有关自然人流动的具体承诺的改进

On the Improvement of Specific Commitments on Movement of Natural Persons Under the GATS

WTO各成员方针对自然人流动做出具体承诺,这些具体承诺规定了实质内容,构成GATS下自然人流动法律制度的核心。其中存在的一些不足之处成为阻碍自然人流动在GATS框架下顺利进行的主要原因,应相应地予以改进:增加承诺部门,扩大部门承诺;扩宽准入的自然人类型,切实保障发展中国家的更多参与;减少限制性条件,增加现有条件的确定性;采用GATS签证制度,订立具体承诺范本。

Members of the WTO make specific commitments on MNP which stipulate specific rights and obligations, constituting the kernel of the legal system of MNP. The present specific commitments have some defects which need improvement. The paper gives some suggestions as follows: widen and deepen commitments concerning MNP, add more types of natural persons for entry to guarantee more participation of developing countries, reduce restrictions to improve definiteness, and deploy “GATS Visa”regime and a model schedule.
