WTO的相互认可制度评析

A Review of the Mutual Recognition under the WTO

国际贸易是在具有可预见性和稳定性的法律环境中进行的,但是各国法律规则的歧异与冲突日益制约着国际贸易的进一步发展。在解决跨国法律冲突的诸多方法中,由于相互认可制度兼具法律内容和法律效力的双重协调功能,在消弭跨国法律冲突中发挥着独特的法律作用。在借鉴欧盟成功运作的经验基础上,WTO开始积极倡导成员方采取相互认可制度协调它们在货物和服务贸易领域的法律冲突。在制定统一规则的多边回合谈判陷入僵局的时代背景下,务实灵活的相互认可制度应成为WTO体系解决法律冲突的重要方法创新。

In the era of globalization, conflicts of law among countries have a negative impact on the economic development. In the four solutions to conflicts of law, mutual recognition is characteristic of simplicity and flexibility. Therefore, the WTO first encourages its members to use the efficient method to coordinate their legal differences and conflicts in the fields of goods and services. Especially, after the failure of Doha Round, muhilateralism is in a difficult position so that mutual recognition proves to be a new approach to push forward the trade facilitation and liberalization.
