东亚经济一体化下的CAFTA及其法律构建

CAFTA under East-Asian Economic Integration and Its Legal Construction

CAFTA放到广域的东亚经济一体化背景下具有深远意义。CAFTA的法律性质并非欧盟那样的国际经济组织,而是国际条约性质的经济合作。这是理解与CAFTA相关的各种法律关系的关键。CAF-TA协定作为框架协定,其后续协定《货物贸易协定》、《服务贸易协定》、《投资协定》、《争端解决机制》构成了一个完整的协定和规则体系。其模式对AJCEP、KAFTA产生了影响,也成为未来"10+3"广域东亚自由贸易区法律构建的蓝本,并且为进一步升格为欧洲共同市场模式的法律机制打下基础。

It has far-reaching significance to put CAFTA into the context of wide-area economic integration.CAFTA＇s legal nature is not an international economic organization as EU,but international economic cooperation under international treaty,which is the key to understanding the various law relations about CAFTA.CAFTA,a framework agreement,as well as subsequent agreements such as Goods Trade,Agreement on Services Trade,Investment Agreement,and Dispute Settlement Mechanism,constitutes a complete system of agreements and rules.The pattern influences AJCEP and KAFTA,and also becomes a blueprint of legal construction of next ＂10＋3＂ wide-area East Asian free trade area.Furthermore,it provides a basis for further upgrade to the legal mechanism of the European common market model.
