2021年12月,中国、欧盟和美国等67个WTO成员完成服务贸易国内规制议题谈判。本文通过对服务贸易国内规制议题谈判历程及谈判模式的回顾,提出在WTO多边框架内推动开放式诸边谈判模式,并梳理出服务贸易国内规制谈判的焦点和难点,建议应在服务贸易国内规制法律解释、必要性测试、政策透明度和监管一致性以及发展中国家待遇等4个重要议题上推进谈判。中国在服务贸易国内规制的开放式诸边谈判中应秉持“跟随致胜”战略理念,既持有中国立场,也要发展中国实力。

In December 2021,67 WTO members have completed negotiations on domestic regulation of trade in services.Based on the review of the negotiation experience,this paper creatively proposes that members should promote the open plurilateral agreement negotiations(OPAs)within the multilateral framework of WTO.The focus and difficulty of domestic regulation negotiation are pointed out,such as the negotiation should be promoted on four key issues:legal interpretation of domestic regulation of trade in services,necessity test,policy transparency and regulatory consistency,and the treatment of developing countries.China should adhere to the strategic concept of“following to win”in the open plurilateral negotiations on domestic regulation of trade in services.Besides,China should hold China’s position in the negotiations and develop China’s strength in trade in services.
