日本积极推进FTA/EPA的政策措施

On the measures and policies of Japan's FTA/EPA

日本政府自世纪之交修改WTO一边倒的贸易政策,实施以WTO为中心,同时推进双边自由贸易、地区自由贸易和多边自由贸易的新贸易政策以来,近年来又把自由贸易的重点一步一步地倾向以东亚为中心的双边自由贸易,与美国、欧盟的EPA也提上了议事日程。为此,日本政府在提高FTA/EPA的紧迫感、加快FTA/EPA谈判的同时,还制定EPA行动计划,建立专门的组织机构,加强统一领导和统一协调,进行官产学共同研究,争取国民的理解和支持,积极开展ODA外交,加快农业改革,克服贸易自由化主要的障碍,积极推动了其以东亚为中心的FTA/EPA的迅速发展。

Japan modified its single WTO -centered trade policy at the beginning of the 21th century, turning to a new WT0 - oriented policy characterized by bilateral, regional and multilateral free trade. In recent years, Japan has gradually focused on bilateral flee trade in east -Asia on one hand, and has scheduled EPA negotiations with U.S. and EU on the other hand. FTA/EPA negotiations have been taken seriously and urgent, with EPA plans being made and specialism offices being established to guarantee coordination. Moreover, government -industry -academic collaboration has been encouraged, the understanding and support of the public have been emphasized, ODA diplomacy has been conducted, and agricultural reforms have been expedited to remove the major barrier to free trade. These efforts have facilitated the east - Asia focused FTA/EPA of Japan.
