析WT/DS379案中对华反补贴的法律问题

Special Legal Issues in Countervailing Duty Investigations Against China: Take WT/DS379 for Instance

2010年10月,WTO专家组对中美"双反"争端作出第WT/DS379号裁决。该案的核心在于补贴的认定,其中主要涉及中国土地使用权的补贴专向性认定、上游产业利益传递分析以及对"非市场经济国家"采取"双反"措施的双重救济问题。中央政府和地方政府授予各种工业园区企业的土地使用权,一般情况下不应认定为具有地区专向性;上游产业的利益传递分析有着其具体的适用范围,不应被滥用;"双反"措施可能会造成双重救济,尤其是在同时适用非市场经济方法的情况下,更应谨慎。对上述三个问题进行分析,进而提出相应的应对措施,对于今后同类问题的解决大有裨益。

In October 2010, the Panel in WTO issued its final report on WT/DS379. The case is mainly related to the determination of subsidies, such as the determination of specificity, the benefit pass-through analysis and double remedies resulting from concurrent use of anti-dumping and countervailing measures under an NME methodology. Generally speaking, land-use rights in industrial parks authorized by central and local governments are not regionally specific; the benefit pass-through analysis should be adopted under certain circumstances and not be misused; the concurrent imposition of anti-dumping duties calculated under an NME methodology and of countervailng duties may create the potential for imposition of a ＂double remedies＂. Solutions based on the analysis of forementioned issues will be benefitial to address similar issues in the future .
