Basic Principles and Approaches with Respect to the Amendment of the Maritime Code of the PRC

《海商法》的修改问题是我国学术界讨论的热门话题,但是,对《海商法》应该如何修改,学者们的认识并不统一。我们应从我国的现状出发并借鉴国外先进经验,对《海商法》的修改时坚持“中改”与“小改”相结合的原则;力求本土化并兼顾与国际接轨的原则;及时与审慎的原则和协调原则,使修改后的《海商法》既能跟上时代的潮流,又能适合我国航运经济和司法实践的发展,在我国的法律体系中发挥其应有的作用。

Nowadays, amendments to the Maritime Code have become a heated topic in China＇ s academic circles. Scholars vary in their ways of modification. Judging from China＇ s status quo and by reference of foreign experience, and with respect to the amendment principles of the Code, this paper proposes ： while amending the Code, we should take into account both medium-scaled and small changes; we should give consideration to both the domestic and foreign elements; and we should stress both timeliness and prudence. The Code, after amendments, should be geared to developments of the day and to the advance of China＇ s shipment economy and judicial practice. It should be expected to play a more important role in China＇ s statutory framework.
