浅淡入世后外商投资中国国际海上货运代理业的法律问题

A Tentative Analysis of the Issues Concerning Foreign Investment in International Maritime Freight Forwarding Agency Industry of China after China's Accession to WTO

在入世议定书中 ,中国作出了一系列承诺 ,其中包括开放海运市场、给予外资国民待遇等。货运代理是海运业中一个重要的组成部分 ,但我国相关立法不太明确 ,实践也比较薄弱 ,同时外商投资国际货运代理业问题本身又涉及多方面的问题 ,包括外商投资准入和经营 (TRIMS协定 )、海运服务市场的开放、货运代理的界定等 ,应该引起我们足够的注意。此文是对此领域的法律问题的初步研究。

China has made a series of commitments at China's accession to WTO,including opening maritime market,and granting national treatment to foreign investment. Maritime freight forwarding is an important part of maritime business. However,the related Chinese laws are not very exact and China is lacking in enough practice. What's more,foreign investment in international freight forwarding agency industry would involve such issues as TRIM agreement,opening-up of maritime service market,and defining of freight forwarding. This paper is a tentative study of the legal issues in this field.
