论《中国入世议定书》非市场经济方法条款到期的效力及应对

Legal Effect of the Expiration of Paragraph 15(a)(ii) in China's Accession Protocol and China's Related Solutions

根据《中国入世议定书》第15(d)段的第二句话,规定反倾销非市场经济方法的第15(a)(ii)段在2016年12月11日到期。运用WTO争端解决机构常用的解释方法分析可知,该条款的到期同时导致非市场经济方法的终止,非市场经济方法不可能基于《中国入世议定书》中的其他条款继续被使用。美国倾向采用的"举证责任转移说"不符合条约解释的规则,欧盟尚未通过的修改反倾销法的提案也违反GATT和《反倾销协议》的规定以及上诉机构在阿根廷诉欧盟生物柴油案中的裁决。

According to the second sentence of Paragraph 15（d） in China＇s Accession Protocol, Paragraph 15（a） （ii） which once stipulated the Non-Market Economy （NME） methodology has expired on 11 December 2016. Based upon the well -established rules of interpretation of WTO law, the expiration of Paragraph 15（a） （ii） has resulted in the termination of the NME methodology and no other provisions in China＇s Accession Protocol can provide the legal basis for continuing to use the NME methodology~ The United States seems to adopt the ＂Swift of Burden of Proof ＂ approach in interpreting the expiration of Paragraph 15（a） （ii） but this approach is inconsistent with the interpretative rules. The proposal for amending the EU Basic Regulation on anti -dumping is also incompatible with specific provisions in GATI＂ and Anti-dumping Agreement, as well as the rulings by the Appellate Body in EU - Biodiesel （Argentina） case.
