WTO体制下的服务贸易自然人流动谈判与我国的参与策略

WTO Negotiations on Presence of Natural Persons in Services Trade and China's Participation Strategy

WTO体制下的服务贸易自然人流动谈判进展缓慢,面临应对保护主义盛行、成员利益诉求不同而难以协调和克服谈判方式缺陷等诸多挑战。保障发展中国家的更广泛参与、提高市场准入的透明度和确定性以及实施GATS签证制度有利于推进服务贸易自然人流动谈判进程。我国应深入研究WTO体制下自然人流动谈判的过程、参与各方的立场与态度,制定明确的谈判策略,积极参与WTO服务贸易自然人流动谈判,积极面对、稳步推进、有序开放我国服务贸易部门的自然人流动准入,针对不同的国家和地区,在不同的服务部门有区别、有重点地提出谈判要价和出价。

WTO negotiations on presence of natural persons in services trade have experienced very limited progress and face numerous challenges like overspread trade protectionism,different interest claims and conflicts between WTO members and how to overcome the inherent defects of the present negotiation mode. Ensured more participation of developing countries,improved transparency and certainty of market access and introduction of GATS visa mechanism may promote the process of such negotiations. China needs to make a deeper study of the negotiations and the requests and offers of different WTO members,take an active part in such negotiations,take progressive and stable steps to open its market access in terms of presence of natural persons and present differentiated requests and offers to different WTO members.
