摘要
近些年因资源出口限制措施引发的WTO贸易与环境争端开始涌现。中国原材料出口限制措施案是其中典型的代表。该案中各方的争议以及争端解决机构的裁决体现了WTO贸易与环境争端解决的一些新特征。通过分析该案可以对资源出口限制措施与WTO规则的冲突有很好的认识。该案体现了WTO在维护贸易规则的同时日益关注资源与环境保护。就我国而言,该案凸显了协调国内法律与政策和WTO规则的必要性,也启示我国应合理进行资源出口限制,在国际贸易谈判中维护自身利益。
Trade and environment disputes in the WTO caused by resource export restrictions measures began to emerge in recent years. 'China measures related to the exportation of various raw materials' is a typical one. The parties' argument in the cases and the Dispute Settlement Body's ruling reflect some new features of environmental trade disputes settlement. Through the legal analysis of the case, we can have a good understanding of conflicts between resource export restrictions measures and WTO rules. The case embodies that WTO growingly concerns resource and environmental protection while maintains the trade rules. For China, the case highlights the necessity of coordinating domestic legal and policy and WTO rules. China should reasonably carry out resource export restriction measures and safeguard own interests in international trade negotiations.
