新型绿色贸易壁垒——碳关税措施及中国的应对

New Green Trade Barriers——Carbon Tariff Measures and Chinese Replying

WTO协议允许成员为保护环境采取贸易限制或禁止措施。但该措施应为实现合法目标的必要措施,不违反非歧视原则,并不得构成对国际贸易的变相限制,否则就构成了绿色贸易壁垒。《美国清洁能源安全法案》以减少二氧化碳排放,保护环境为目的,但实际上并非实现该目的必要措施,反而对国际贸易造成障碍,造成新型绿色贸易壁垒。文章对此进行分析,并提出我国的应对措施。

WTO allows each member to take trade restriction or prohibition measures to protect environment.But the measures should be necessary ones,conforming to the principle of non-discrimination and should not confine the international commerce.The American Clean Energy and Security Act（ACESA） aim at protecting environment and reducing carbon emissions.But in fact they are not the necessary measures.Contrarily,they are possible to be obstacles and new green barriers to international commerce.This is analyzed and our country＇s countermeasures are proposed.
