中国—东盟自由贸易区贸易便利化发展研究——以“一带一路”倡议为背景

Trade Facilitation Developmentin China——ASEAN Free Trade Area Under the Background of the Belt and Road Initiative

中国"一带一路"倡议提出的"五通"目标中,贸易畅通是建设与合作的重点内容。根据世界经济论坛关于贸易便利化水平指标体系报告,中国—东盟自由贸易区(CAFTA)贸易便利化水平较低,各成员贸易便利化差异显著,面临更多贸易壁垒与非贸易壁垒的挑战。对比《贸易便利化协定》条文规定与CAFTA相关议定书条款分析,中国与东盟国家在推行CAFTA未来十年升级转型的同时,须紧抓"一带一路"倡议机遇,在国际道路运输便利与统一化、海关通关便利化、基础设施建设以及引领构建跨境电子商务法律制度方面提高自贸区贸易便利化水平。

China’s Belt and Road Initiative has identified five priority areas—policy coordination,roads unicom,unimpeded trade,the financial integration and people-to-peoplebond. Unimpeded trade has become the focus of the content construction and cooperation. According to the world economic forum’s report on the index system of trade facilitation level,China-ASEAN Free Trade Area（ CAFTA）has the low and differential level of the trade facilitation and is faced with more challenges of trade barriers and non-trade barriers.The comparison and analysis of the provisions of the Agreement on trade facilitation with the protocol related to CAFTA suggest that China and ASEAN countries should seize the opportunity of the Belt and Road Initiative while facilitating the escalation and transformation of CAFTA in the next ten years. The facilitation of trade in the CAFTA should be enhanced in terms of the facilitation and unificationof international road transport,customs clearance facilitation,infrastructure construction,and the legal system construction forelectronic commerce.
