WTO:一个自给自足的法律体系——兼论一国四地经贸法律新发展

WTO:A Self-Contained Legal Regime-On the New Development of the Economic and Trade Laws Among the Four Areas in One Country

GATT/WTO是一个自给自足的法律体系,其争端解决机制充分体现了这一点。发达国家,特别是美国宪法及美国贸易法结构对GATT/WTO自给自足法律体系形成影响巨大。非WTO规则在WTO体系中对WTO成员分别具有不同的效力。在WTO框架内解决所有非贸易问题并不现实。中国应通过建立大中国自由贸易区这一形式,为一国四地经贸关系持久发展构建稳固的基础,并在一国四地建立一个与WTO争端解决机制相接轨的独立、自治的争端解决机制。

GATT/WTO system is a self-contained legal regime,which is sufficiently reflected by its dispute settlement mechanism.The laws of developed countries,especially the United States Constitution and its trade law system,exert the most important influence on GATT/WTO system.Relevant non-WTO rules have different effect on WTO members.It is not appropriate to settle non-trade problems within the WTO legal system.China should establish a solid foundation for long-term development of economic and trade relationship among the four areas of the country through setting up a big China free trade area and establishing independent and self-governed dispute settlement mechanism which is in accordance with the WTO’s DSM within the four areas of the country.
