加拿大贸易救济法中的公共利益问题研究

Study on Public Interest Issues in Canadian Trade Remedy Law

公共利益调查是加拿大贸易救济法的一个重要特征。加拿大国际贸易法庭在作出损害终裁后,可基于利害关系人的申请或依职权发起公共利益调查。加拿大法律没有对反倾销反补贴调查中的公共利益作出定义,但规定了在公共利益调查中应考虑的因素,并规定了操作性很强的调查程序。价格问题、竞争问题以及消费者与公共健康问题是加拿大反倾销反补贴公共利益调查中考虑的核心因素。如果我国政府与企业在应对加拿大反倾销反补贴调查时利用好公共利益调查程序,可在损害终裁作出后最大限度地维护我方利益。
