摘要
《美国-墨西哥-加拿大协定》(USMCA)是美式FTAs金融服务规则的最新范本。该协定基于'贸易和投资'双重视角而扩张的适用范围,负面清单为主的制表模式,以及确保审慎监管空间的法定例外,构成对以GATS及其《金融服务附件》为基础的多边金融服务贸易体制的超越。相较于美国此前主导制定的TPP文本,USMCA在金融服务规则上呈现出新的发展趋势,集中表现于禁止本地化要求与金融服务争端解决机制两个领域。研判USMCA金融服务规则的演进趋势及其背后机理,有助于中国检视自身经贸协定项下的规则实践,并为中国金融服务规则的升级和优化提供有益参考。
The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement(USMCA)is the latest model to explore United States’approach in financial services rules.Going beyond the existing multilateral regime based on GATS and its Financial Services Annex,the USMCA expands its scope of coverage by combining trade rules with investment rules,optimize exception clauses to secure policy space for prudential regulation,and deepens its liberalization through negative-list scheduling.Compared with the original CPTPP texts which the United States once presided over,two emerging trends can be identified in the newly-formulated USMCA:the prohibition on forced localization,and the increasing dominant role of states in handling financial service disputes.By exploring the evolutionary financial services rules of the USMCA and the underlying rationale,this Article aims at providing constructive suggestions on how to upgrade and improve financial services rules in China’s trade agreements.
