环境与贸易的关系促使 WTO将绿色壁垒予以合法化 ,但由于对绿色壁垒性质和作用的不同认识 ,导致各国设立的绿色壁垒存在差异。从对绿色壁垒性质的分析入手 ,结合 WTO协定的相关规定 ,对绿色壁垒的法律范畴归属进行研究 ,以期寻求出环境与贸易关系的平衡点 ,为正确解释

The paper maintains that despite the legalization of the green barrier resulting from the environment-trade relations the disparity of understanding in the nature and function of the green barrier leads inevitably to the differences of it as established by different countries. The paper further analyses the legal category of the green barrier, based on its nature and regulations of the WTO, with the view to achieving equilibrium between environment and trade and correctly interpreting the articles of the WTO concerning the green barrier.
