入世“后过渡期”我国应对特别保障条款的法律思考

Legal Reflection on China's Countermeasures for Peculiar Safeguard Clause in Post-transition Period of Entry into WTO

尽管国内学者几乎一致认为,特别保障条款是《中国入世议定书》中对我国最为不利的条款之一,但实质上它却是基于我国的国家根本利益考虑,为争取更好的入世条件而必需付出的代价。从法理角度看,保障措施不过是情势变迁原则在国际贸易关系中的具体运用;从保障措施到特别保障条款对我国产品的临时适用,没有从根本上改变WTO宗旨与规则的基本精神。由此,应以此为视角来构建我国入世"后过渡期"应对特别保障条款的基本对策。

Many domestic scholars agree that peculiar safeguard clause is one of the most disadvantageous clauses in China＇ s Protocol on Accession to WTO, but this author holds a firm belief that it is the cost that China should pay out for national fundamental interest and better condition to enter into WTO. In view of theory of law, peculiar safeguard clause incarnates the principle of change of circumstances in international trade and it doesn＇ t breach WTO＇S tenet and principle.
