刍议CEPA中的“服务提供者”

On the Service Provider in CEPA

对"服务提供者"进行合理界定,是确保CEPA服务贸易领域一系列优惠措施顺利实施的前提。CEPA附件五对此进行了规定,与GATS和其他RTA的规定基本相同,但也有其特殊之处。CEPA界定法人主要使用了注册地标准和业务本地化标准,这可能引起"溢出效应"。建议引入条件相对宽松的资本控制标准,并完善与其配套的程序等其他规则。

To give a rational definition on ＂service provider＂ is a prerequisite as well as a guarantee for the realization of a series of favorable policies in the area of service trade in CEPA. Attachment 5 gives a similar definition as that of GATS and RTA while with specialties. CEPA defines legal person by using the standards of registration place and operation localization, which may results in ＂overflow effect＂.
