What’stheWorldTradeOrganization(5)

字號:

世貿(mào)有"成員".關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定有"締約方",強(qiáng)調(diào)了關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定正式而言是一個法律文本。
    The WTO has "members". GATT had "contracting parties", underscoring the fact that officially GATT was a legal text.
    關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定管的是貨物貿(mào)易,世貿(mào)還管服務(wù)貿(mào)易和知識產(chǎn)權(quán)。
    GATT dealt with trade in goods. The WTO covers services and intellectual property as well.
    世貿(mào)爭端解決體系較關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定更迅速,更主動,其裁決不受阻撓。
    The WTO dispute settlement system is faster, more automatic than the old GATT system. Its rulings cannot be blocked.
    二、WTO小知識點(diǎn):
    國民待遇——給予外國人和本國人一樣的待遇。
    National treatment——giving others the same treatment as one's own nationals
    諸邊協(xié)議——指幾個世貿(mào)成員之間,而非全體成員之間簽署的協(xié)議,如《民用航空器協(xié)議》( Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft)和《政府采購協(xié)議》 (Agreement on Government Procurement)。
    Plurilaterals——signed by only a few WTO members rather than all
