中国纺织品自愿出口限制的经济效应分析韩玉军陈华超卢树立(中国人民大学经济学院,北京100872)摘要:随着纺织品贸易被纳入WTO的框架之下,中国纺织品出口逐步进入正常的贸易渠道。
但从中欧和中美纺织品贸易谈判的结果来看,这种乐观的估计并没有实现。
因此,本文提出与其实行配额管理,倒不如我们与美欧谈判并达成“自愿出口限制”协议,这样做的经济效应与政治效应都将会产生对中国有利的影响,而且产生的贸易摩擦也会减少。
关键词:纺织品;中国;自愿出口限制;经济效应2005年1月1日,乌拉圭回合所达成的《纺织品与服装协议》生效,至此,由多纤协定(MFA)管辖世界纺织品贸易40多年的配额体制终于走到了历史的尽头。
纺织品服装贸易与其他货物贸易一样,全面纳入WTO规则的管辖,进入后配额时代。
中国是世界上最大的纺织品生产国与出口国,配额逐步取消、纺织品贸易逐步自由化对中国而言无疑是一次扩大纺织品出口的机遇。
但是,中国纺织品的出口仍然受到了美欧等发达国家市场保护的很大制约,中欧虽然就此问题达成了协议,但欧盟对中国纺织品服装仍实行设限管理,中美纺织品贸易谈判于2005年11月8日在伦敦达成《关于纺织品和服装贸易的谅解备忘录》,中美双方同意在协议期内对中国向美国出口的棉制裤子等21个类别产品实施数量管理。
根据协议,对协议外产品,美方将克制使用242段条款。
由于美方依据《中国加入WTO工作组报告书》第242段,频繁对中国纺织品实施限制措施,给两国纺织品贸易带来了极大的不稳定性,影响了贸易的正常、有序发展。
虽然协议的达成有利于中国纺织品出口的稳定发展,但从长远来看,如果使中国纺织品出口重回“管理型贸易”配额时代,将对中国纺织业产生深远的负面影响。
笔者认为,与其实行配额管理,倒不如我们与美欧谈判并达成“自愿出口限制”协议,这样做的经济效应与政治效应都将会产生对中国有利的影响。

ITA II — Negotiations aimed at expanding ITA’s product coverage.nuisance tariff — Tariff so low that it costs the government more to collect it than the revenue it generates.schedule of concessions — List of bound tariff rates.tariff binding —Commitment not to increase a rate of duty beyond an agreed level. Oncea rate of duty is bound, it may not be raised without compensating the affected parties. tariff escalation —Higher import duties on semi-processed products than on raw materials, and higher still on finished products. This practice protects domestic processing industries and discourages the development of processing activity in the countries where raw materials originate. tariff peaks — Relatively high tariffs, usually on “sensitive” products, amidst generally low tariff levels. For industrialized countries, tariffs of 15% and above are generally recognized as “tariff peaks”.tariffs — Customs duties on merchandise imports.

Bilateral arrangements whereby an exporting country (government or industry) agrees to reduce or restrict exports without the importing country having to make use of quotas, tariffs or other import controls.Textiles and clothingATC — The WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing which integrates trade in this sector back to GATT rules within a ten-year period.carry forward — When an exporting country uses part of the following year’s quota during the current year.carry over — When an exporting country utilizes the previous year’s unutilized quota.circumvention — Avoiding quotas and other restrictions by altering the country of origin of a product.CTG —Council for Trade in Goods —oversees WTO agreements on goods, including the ATC. integration programme —The phasing out of MFA restrictions in four stages starting on 1 January 1995 and ending on 1 January 2005.ITCB —International Textiles and Clothing Bureau — Geneva-based group of some 20 developing country exporters of textiles and clothing.MFA — Multifibre Arrangement (1974-94) under which countries whose markets are disrupted by increased imports of textiles and clothing from another country were able to negotiate quota restrictions.swing —When an exporting country transfers part of a quota from one product to another restrained product.TMB — The Textiles Monitoring Body, consisting of a chairman plus ten members acting in a personal capacity, oversees the implementation of ATC commitments. transitional safeguard mechanism — Allows members to impose restrictions against individual exporting countries if the importing country can show that both overall imports of a product and imports from the individual countries are entering the country in such increased quantities as to cause —or threaten —serious damage to the relevant domestic industry.Agriculture/SPSAgenda 2000 —EC’s financial reform plans for 2000–06 aimed at strengthening the union with a view to receiving new members. Includes reform of the CAP (see below). border protection —Any measure which acts to restrain imports at point of entry.

国际贸易条约、协定随着科学技术和生产力的发展,各国的经济生活日益国际化。
不同国家或地区在经济、政治、科技、文化等方面的联系越来越密切,一种真正意义的全球经济正在形成。
任何国家要发展,就不可能闭关自守,必须重视同外界的联系。
国际贸易条约与协定就是国与国之间经济贸易关系紧密联系的纽带。
关贸总协定对促进国际贸易自由化、取消歧视待遇、加强世界经济发展起到了重要作用。
但随着世界经济贸易关系的不断发展变化,建立国际贸易组织的问题引起了普遍的关注。
终于在1995年建立了一个崭新的世界贸易组织,它更大地促进了世界贸易的增长,对经济全球化起到了不可估量的作用。
与此同时,区域经济一体化也迅速发展,它是国际经济贸易发展不平衡的原因,同时又是它的结果,也是生产要素全球自由流动的一种过渡。
【先行案例】中国轴承受反倾销2002年2月13日,根据美国托林顿轴承公司等4家公司的申请,美国轴承协会以中国轴承在美国市场低于正常的出口价格销售为由,对我国轴承提起反倾销申诉。
当年4月29日,美国商务部通过一项表决,对中国出口轴承进行反倾销调查,包括我国28个省、市的253家轴承企业,涉及2亿多元的出口值,规模之大,为历年所罕见。
这是中国加入世贸组织后,美国利用反倾销这一世贸规则允许的贸易保护壁垒,第一次试图对中国产品进行制裁。
一旦中国败诉,中国轴承在美国25%的市场份额有可能荡然无存。
更严峻的是,欧盟等市场通常会在美国判决之后,参照其反倾销税率对中国发动同样的调查。
接到被调查通知后,2002年2月27日,80多家中国主要轴承制造、出口商云集杭州,与有多年诉讼经验的中国机电进出口商会一起紧急磋商。
会后,253家中国被诉企业中有53家企业决定应诉,以维护多年来打拼下来的美国市场。
2002年4月3日,美国国际贸易委员会举行了最终裁决听证会,美国国际贸易委员会代表以四对零的绝对票,认定中国应诉企业的轴承对美国轴承工业没有造成任何损害,判定中国输美国轴承倾销案不成立,美国不能向应诉企业加收任何反倾销税。
第六讲纺织品与服装贸易协议一、多种纤维协定(一)缔结过程从1950年起,许多新独立国家的纺织业获得了很大的发展。
由于纺织品和服装工业只需要较少的投资,许多新独立的国家把纺织和服装业作为工业化的先行部门,大量纺织品涌入国际市场。
美国等发达国家大量进口纺织品,本国的纺织业抵挡不住来自香港、泰国、印度等低工资国家和地区的纺织品的竞争,要求政府采取数量限制措施,保护本国的纺织业。
在关贸总协定主持之下,1961年7月,在日内瓦召开了有关纺织品贸易的国际会议,根据美国所提出的草案,达成“国际棉纺织品短期安排”。
1962年2月,在关贸总协定的安排下,签订了有效期为5年的“国际棉纺织品长期安排(LTA)”,同年10月生效。
长期安排的参加范围扩大到几乎所有的纺织品贸易国,限制范围也扩大了,对所有棉纺织品都实行了有选择的歧视性限制。
长期安排5年到期后,又延长了2期,每期为3年。
随着化学工业的发展,入造纤维在纺织品生产中的用途日益增加,发达国家要求提高纺织品的限制范围和限制水平,缔结一项适用范围更广的多边贸易协定。
1972年,关贸总协定纺织品委员会成立了一个工作组,在长期安排到期之前,商讨今后的纺织品贸易安排。
在关贸总协定的主持之下,42个纺织品贸易国经过艰苦的谈判,达成了“国际纺织品贸易协定”,也称“多种纤维协定(FMA)”,从而把纺织品的范围从棉纺织品扩大到化纤产品,纺织品贸易如受限制范围进一步扩大了。
协定于1973年12月30日签订,1974年1月1日生效,有效期限为4年,适用范围包括棉、羊毛、入造纤维及其制品。
该协定西1978年、1982年和1986年延长了3次,第4次多种纤维协定本应于1991年12月31日到期,参加乌拉圭回合谈判的各方代表于1991年同意将现行协定。
延长至1992年底,待乌拉圭回合纺织品和服装协定生效后就终止。
(二)协定概要国际纺织品贸易协定的宗旨是保证世界纺织品贸易有秩序的发展,减少贸易壁垒,逐步实现纺织品世界贸易自由化,同时避免对进口国市场的干扰。
阅读材料一纺织品和多种纤维协定1981年9月,五十多个国家的代表在日内瓦集会,重新开始讨论贸易前景以及纺织品和服装贸易保护主义问题。
二十多年来,发达国家一直对从第三世界国家进口纺织品设置壁垒。
截止到1981年,全球贸易中85%的棉花、羊毛以及人造纤维制品己被管制(见图表6)。
由于这一行业是创造世界范围内就业机会的最大源泉,因而这方面贸易谈判的成果对所有参加国来说都是至关重要的。
发展中国家依靠纺织和服装业作为其工业化战略的基础,若没有这一自由度更高的世界贸易行业,这些国家在以后若干年内将面临更为低速的增长。
然而,出于对国内基础工业衰退的关注,发达国家普遍赞同更严格的管制。
欧洲共同体各国和美国政府曾受到来自地方产业和工会的压力,让其减少纺织和服装的进口。
多种纤维协定(MFA)是1974年在关贸总协定的主持下签署的一个多边条约,1977年展期四年,日内瓦的讨论主要集中在协定展期问题上。
该协议订立之初被构想为一项临时性措施,列示出了指导国际纺织品和服装贸易的原则。
从理论上讲,该协定的目的是为了给发展中国家提供有保证的且日益增长的进入发达国家市场的机会,而同时又使发达国家政府能够防止其国内工业的混乱和破坏。
从实践中看,该协定并不是临时性的,它未能给发展中国家的出口提供有保证的且日益增长的市场机遇,而且也未能防止发达国家的市场混乱。
所以,随着1981年12月31日协定期满日的接近,无一方对现行的协定感到满意。
发达国家,尤其是欧洲经济共同体,都阐明了在就业下降和进口上升方面持续发生的问题。
(见图表3、图表7);而发展中国家则抱怨说,工业化国家利用多种纤维协定来保护其无竞争力的工业,因而使发展中国家的经济和社会发展遭受了损害。
在随后短短三个月多一点的时间里,参加国仍未就该协议的基本目标达成一致意见。
一些发达国家和发展中国家公开质问:若允许协议期满终止并在由此产生的“对全体都自由”的环境中获取机会的话,是否对它们自身的利益更为有利?然而美国却关心多种纤维协定崩溃的可能性。

浅谈全球经济贸易自由化对中国和世界经济的影响董㊀娜摘㊀要:随着全球经济的不断发展,全球经贸的自由化程度不断加深,中国加入WTO世界组织之后,中国与世界经济之间的交流也日益频繁㊂尤其进入21世纪之后,处理好中国与世界贸易之间的关系,能够有效推动中国经济的发展和世界经济的发展㊂因此,在中国发展的过程当中,必须注重全球贸易自由化对中国产生的影响,规避贸易风险,为中国的发展提供更加稳定的环境㊂文章着重分析全球经济贸易自由化对中国产生的影响,并且根据多哈回合方案的内容对世界经济进行分析,希望能透过这些对中国的影响研究不断为中国的经济发展提供更加稳定和良好的环境㊂关键词:全球经济;贸易自由化;中国;世界经济一㊁引言随着世界经济融合进程的不断推进,全球贸易自由化程度也获得了前所未有的提升,这主要是因为贸易交流越来越频繁㊂对于中国的经济发展而言,近年来贸易的欧化色彩不断浓重,因此在中国经济发展的过程中,不断注重贸易自由化才能保证未来中国在世界舞台上获得更多的发展权益,同时还能在国际舞台上保护中国的经济利益㊂但是我国加入国际贸易之后经济发展虽然十分快速,与国际贸易的接轨也不断得到完善,但是全球贸易在发展的过程中也不断呈现出变化㊂这些问题需要得到重视,否则全球贸易自由化就很容易导致中国在发展的过程中缺乏后续力量,影响中国经济的长远发展㊂因此文章对世界经济贸易自由化进行一定的理论阐述,从事对多种贸易协定对中国产生的影响进行分析,以便于为中国未来的经济贸易发展提供必要的资料和支持㊂二㊁全球贸易自由化概念分析(一)国际贸易自由化的概念贸易自由化的核心内容就是指国家与国家之间的进出口限制降低,以便于实现国家与国家之间的贸易自由㊂全球贸易自由化在近年来得到许多国家的支持,这是因为贸易自由化在某种程度上为进出口国家提供了一些优惠待遇,这种优惠待遇能够扩大进出口的经济获益,还有利于贸易关系国的各自发展㊂世界贸易自由化是非常重要的核心目标,因此无论是关贸总协定还是世界贸易组织规定的一系列的贸易原则,都是建立在贸易自由化的基础之上的㊂与其说全球贸易自由化是一个经济发展样式,不如说全球贸易自由化是全球经济发展的一个重要趋势㊂因为自由贸易会带来成本的缩小和收益的扩大㊂依据国际贸易的基本准则来看,贸易自由化能够实现国际贸易交易的利润最大㊂因为即便对于进口国而言,减少贸易自由也会导致本国的经济发展受到损害,更不要提他国的福利㊂因此,进入21世纪之后,全世界都在有策略的进行贸易自由的发展,因为根据近年来注重发展贸易自由化的国家在国际贸易上的获利率都比较高㊂(二)国际贸易自由化受限原因但是贸易自由化也有自身的问题㊂从生产和消费的角度来看,消费者当然会从贸易自由化中获得最大的利益,但是生产者的获利则需要进行一定的区分㊂在国际贸易中,生产者需要被划分为国外生产者和国内生产者,一旦贸易自由化程度加深,虽然国外的生产者可以通过产品的交易来扩大效益,但是国内的生产者则需要面临更严重竞争压力,其产品容易受到冲击,甚至有可能在竞争中处于劣势地位,甚至被迫退出竞争市场㊂因此各国都会对贸易自由化程度大力发展,但同时也会非常注重去限制这种自由化程度㊂因为一旦贸易自由化程度不受管控,这种竞争就会导致本国的相关行业面临倒闭的风险,失业率攀升,人民的经济收入会下降,国家的发展就会产生很大的问题㊂取消MFA的影响多种纤维协定也被称作是MFA,该协定可以追溯到1950年,当时许多国家为了谋求纺织业的发展,因此制订了该项协定㊂这是因为当时许多国家把纺织业作为工业化的先头部队,因此许多来自不同国家的纺织品流入国际市场㊂对于发达国家而言,纺织业的生产成本更高,这是因为发达国家的人力资源成本更高,加之原材料需要从发展中国家进口,因此总体成本必然较高㊂而发展中国家具有更便宜的人力资源,生产成本也较低,因此发达国家的纺织行业在当时受到冲击,许多纺织行业经营人员要求国家开启限制措施以便于保证本国的纺织业发展不受影响㊂但是这种限制措施无疑会导致世界的纺织贸易发展缓慢,因为在这一政策之下,本国的防治企业即便生产质量不佳,消费者也无力拒绝消费,因此不利于市场多元化的发展,也容易让纺织行业出现垄断的现象㊂因此取消MFA能够让各个国家发挥出本国的优势,同时这种竞争也会激励各国进行生产效率的提升㊂最重要的是发展中国家的纺织行业在取消MFA之后可以获得更多的市场,其资源分配也得到了一定的改善㊂实际上对于多种纤维协定而言,中国是最受影响的一个国家,因为美国和加拿大等发达国家一直都是我国纺织品销售的主要国家㊂在这种贸易中如果存在一定的限制,则容易导致中国的纺织品行业受到很大的冲击,不利于我国服装产业的长久发展㊂三㊁多哈回合的影响多哈回合主要是指一种贸易谈判,这种贸易谈判限制在世贸组织成员之间,2001年卡塔尔首次举行多边贸易谈判之后被人所熟知㊂多哈回合在进行的过程中主要围绕削减贸24区域经济Һ㊀易壁垒的问题㊂这主要是因为随着世界经济的发展,大家普遍认识到贸易自由化的重要性,创造自由而公平的贸易环境对于各个国家的发展都有利无害㊂尤其对于发展中国家而言,贸易自由化能够给他们提供更多的机会和条件,对于发达国家而言,能够进口便宜的产品来满足本国生产㊂因此多哈回合解决的问题正是目前各国国际经济发展中的问题,因为它不仅提倡实现贸易自由化,更重要的也是实现贸易的公平化㊂在多哈回合的内容中,提倡削减和取消高关税㊂这对于许多国家的贸易发展都有着非常重要的影响,实际上中国与美国在2019年爆发贸易战,而贸易战中经常出现的就是抬高关税㊂而抬高关税不过就是一种贸易保护主义,这种贸易保护主义与贸易自由化背道而驰㊂他不仅阻碍了中美两国的贸易发展进程,在某种程度上还打破了中美两国本国的发展进程㊂例如,美国一直注重发展高科技电子产业,在轻纺工业上并没有重点发展,因此许多请纺织品都有赖于中国进口,但是一旦提升关税之后,虽然中国对美国的出口率降低了,但是美国人民在进行生活必需品的挑选上也面临一系列的问题,因此人们的生活质量受到了冲击㊂而这种冲击迫使美国必须在产业发展上做出一些转型和改变,这种转型与改变又打乱了本国的发展进程㊂对于中国而言,贸易自由化受到了限制,许多本应出口的产品未能获得出口的机会,因此国内的许多公司发展面临重大困难,甚至部分企业濒临倒闭,对中国的经济发展产生了非常的大负面影响㊂当然贸易自由化程度的实现也有可能导致倾销问题的产生,倾销的出现就是经济强国对经济弱国的一种经济侵略,它只能加深对经济弱国的剥削,让经济弱国在发展中受到阻碍㊂而从全球化来看,经济如果无法谋求发展,最终也会影响世界经济的发展进程㊂四㊁结语对于世界经济发展而言,全球贸易自由化是一个必行的趋势,虽然从2020年开始部分西方国家开始主张 闭关 的政策,但这正是因为发达国家无法正确认识全球贸易自由化问题导致的㊂因为许多西方国家发现发展中国家的发展势头,因此想要通过限制贸易自由化来限制发展中国家的发展,这会给中国的经济发展带来严重的影响㊂中国的发展离不开贸易自由化的支持,只有贸易自由化实现的程度恰如其分,才能保证中国的经济发展更加有力量㊂当然对于其他发达国家而言,正确认识全球经济贸易自由化的内涵,才能良性参与世界竞争,促进世界经济的发展㊂参考文献:[1]何勇亭.中国贸易自由化对制造业绩效影响的理论与实证研究[D].武汉:中南财经政法大学,2019.[2]覃丽芳.国际经济新形势下中国自由贸易试验区建设发展研究[J].创新,2019,13(6):19-32.作者简介:董娜,南开大学㊂(上接第37页)编制环节是全面预算管理实施环节中的重要构成部分,因此,非营利性医疗机构应开展高效的信息数据整合分析以及项目论证工作,合理估算和预测部门成本,全面搜集整合预算信息,进而提升预算规划的可操作性,更好的发挥预算规划的导向性作用㊂(三)强化预算执行刚性预算执行是非营利性医疗机构全面预算管理实施的重要环节,在活动开展过程中,单位应以预算目标为核心,细化预算指标,加强各职能部门协作交流,构建完整的预算执行体系即分级控制㊁垂直管理㊁横向交叉和逐级负责的体系㊂一是预算审批机制,由预算管理小组负责,各职能部门在预算执行过程中应严格按照预算规划实施,提升单位预算控制效率㊂同时,预算管理人员应根据各职能部门提交的预算执行数据信息,定期编制针对性的预算分析报告,并及时提交至上级管理人员,为单位管理人员掌握预算方案执行情况,以及推动管理工作规范化发展提供数据依据;二是非营利性医疗机构应加强预算执行过程中的刚性控制,对预算执行实施全过程监管,并针对预算执行进度㊁资金支出情况等定期开展分析研究,及时发现预算执行过程中存在的各类问题,并积极开展纠偏工作㊂除此之外,非营利性医疗机构应构建完善的预算绩效考评机制,为单位提升预算执行效率发挥重要推力㊂单位预算绩效考评内容应包含财务管理㊁业务活动㊁内部管理等多个内容,并编制预算绩效考评报告,为单位进行预算执行以及预算规划调整工作提供数据保障㊂五㊁结语综上所述,在事业单位深化改革背景下,实施全面预算管理是非营利性医疗机构提升财政资金使用效率实现单位长远发展的必要措施之一㊂现阶段,由于全面预算管理在我国事业单位实施时间较短,仍旧处于不断探索和完善阶段,因此,事业单位在预算管理工作开展中仍旧存在着诸多问题,阻碍着预算管理职能作用的发挥㊂因此,事业单位应从构建完善的预算管理体系㊁提升预算编制环节的科学性,探索多种预算编制方法以及加强预算执行环节的刚性控制等有效途径,促使预算管理最大化发挥对单位发展的重要作用,进而实现稳健发展目标,为社会提供更优质的服务㊂参考文献:[1]张卫平.事业单位全面预算管理问题及对策分析[J].商讯,2019(3):178-179.[2]孙云荷.公共卫生事业单位全面预算管理探索[J].行政事业资产与财务,2019(1):68-69.[3]谷立勉.全面预算管理在事业单位的应用探讨[J].财经界,2019(35):26-27.作者简介:张鹏志,武川县妇幼保健计划生育服务中心㊂34。

作业二一、反向协商一致反向协商一致国际经济法学中的一个概念,也是WTO争端解决机制中的一个规则。
世贸组织的争端解决规则的“反向协商一致”就是协商一致反对,否则该事项通过。
也就是说,在争端解决机构审议有关事项时,只要不是所有参加成员协商一致反对,则视为通过。
反向协商一致原则主要适用于四个方面,即专家小组的成立、专家小组报告的通过、上诉机构报告的通过、对报复授权请求的通过。
在上述四个方面适用反向协商一致原则,不仅会使争端解决机构或专家组的决策更加流畅地被通过,使争端解决机制对各个程序所需的时间有了确定的可能,从而使纠纷可以在可预见的时间内得以处理,缩短争端解决程序的时间;更重要的在于它实际上确立了对争端的强制管辖权,增强了争端解决机制的强制性,提高了国际会谈中争端解决机制的有效性,有利于争端解决程序迅速、顺利地进行,确立和保持专家小组程序在贸易争端解决方面的权威和威慑力。
反向协商一致原则加强了WTO争端解决机制的司法性,但它并未完全遏制一些发达国家利用其经济实力影响争端解决结果的现象。
国际社会应一到推动争端解决机制更加合理和效率更高,使得WTO争端解决机制趋向更加成熟,将是各方不断努力的方向。
在国际贸易中,争端的解决需要各方的努力和合作,协商甚至是妥协。
“反向协商一致”决策规则,有利于专家小组的成立、专家小组或上诉机构的建议或裁决的通过、补偿或报复裁决的通过,都相当于自动的,除非各方协商一致否决。
因此,任何想阻止裁决获得通过的成员都必须说服其他所有成员,包括争端中的对手,从而排除败诉方单方面阻扰的可能。
这些“反向协商一致”的决策规则有效地消除了1947年关贸总协定争端解决程序中存在阻止多边争端解决进程的可能性。
再加上规定了严格的争端解决的结案时间表,“反向协商一致”决策规则就可以保证整个争端解决程序进展得更快和更主动。

国际纺织品贸易协议(多种纤维协定MFA)文章属性•【缔约国】联合国国际贸易法委员会•【条约领域】税收•【公布日期】1973.12.20•【条约类别】协定•【签订地点】日内瓦正文国际纺织品贸易协议(多种纤维协定MFA)(1973年12月20日订于日内瓦)序言认识到羊毛、人造纤维和棉纺织品的生产和贸易对许多国家经济的极端重要性,对于发展中国家的经济和社会发展、增加出口收入和使其多样化的特别重要性,同时意识到棉纺织品贸易对许多发展中国家的特殊重要性;进一步认识到世界纺织品贸易中存在不能令人满意状况的趋势,这种情况如不妥善处理,参加纺织品贸易的国家(不论是进口者还是出口者,或是两者)都会带来损害,对纺织品贸易领域的国际合作前景产生不利影响,而且对一般贸易关系有令人遗憾的反作用;注意到这一不令人满意的形势是以限制措施(包括歧视性措施)扩散为特征的,这些措施是不符合关贸总协定的原则的,同时在一些进口国家中已经出现了在它们看来有破坏国内市场或对国内市场造成威胁的情况;希望在多边范围内,采取合作和建设性的行动来对付这种情况,以便在健全的基础上促进生产发展和扩大纺织品贸易,并逐步地减少贸易障碍和实现这些产品世界贸易的自由化;认识到在采取此种行动时,应经常牢记纺织品生产和贸易的不稳定和不断变化的性质,同时应最充分考虑到进口国和出口国--尤其是发展中国家,在这个领域里存在的严重经济和社会问题;进一步认识到,此种行为的目的应在为向这些国家(包括那些新参加或不久将参加纺织品出口行列,将它们有效地生产的产品在世界市场上销售,增加其外汇收入的国家)提供更大的机会,以便利用拥有诸如原料和技术等必要资源的发展中国家的经济发展和促进这些国家的开发;认识到未来纺织品贸易的协调发展,尤其是考虑到发展中国家的需要,重要的还取决于本协议范围以外的各种因素;有关这些因素包括按照东京宣言进行的削减关税以及维持和改进普遍优惠制的进展情况;决心充分尊重关税及贸易总协定(以下简称关贸总协定)的原则和目标,并在实现本协议目的时,有效地实施1973年9月14日东京部长宣言中商定的有关多边贸易谈判的原则和目标;本协议的各缔约方,协议如下:第一条一、各参加国希望今后几年在纺织品领域里,采取切实可行的国际合作措施,以达到排除这个领域中存在的困难的目的。
二、基本目标应是扩大贸易,减少此种贸易的障碍和逐渐实现世界纺织品贸易的自由化,与此同时,保证这种贸易有秩序而均衡地发展,并使进口国和出口国的个别市场和个别生产行业避免受到破坏性影响。
对于市场狭小,进口水平很高,而国内生产水平相对低的国家来说,应考虑到避免损害这些国家弱小的纺织品生产。
三、实施本协议的主要目的应是促进发展中国家的经济和社会发展,保障它们的纺织品出口收入的大量增加以及为它们在世界纺织品贸易中取得较大份额提供机会。
四、根据本协议采取的行动,不应损害或阻碍参加国自主的调整工业过程。
而且,根据本协议采取的行动应用与国家法律和制度相一致的方式,根据纺织品贸易格局和参加比较利益变化的需要,伴随着实行适当的经济和社会政策。
这些政策将鼓励在国际上竞争力较弱的企业逐渐转移到更有竞争能力的生产行业,或是转移到其它经济部门并为增加发展中国家的纺织品进入它们的市场提供机会。
五、根据本协议施行的保护措施,根据公认的条件和标准,在为此目的设立的国际机构监督下,在符合本协议的原则和目标的情况下,在纺织品贸易领域有特殊情况时,已成为必要,并应有助于因世界纺织品贸易格局的变化而需要进行的调整过程。
本协议各缔约方,应除本协议规定充分考虑这些措施对其它缔约方的影响外,保证不采用这种措施。
六、本协议的各项规定,应不影响关贸总协定参加国的权利和义务。
七、参加国认识到,由于根据本协议采取的措施是要解决纺织品的特殊问题,此种措施应视为例外情况,不得施用于其它领域。
第二条一、在接受或加入本协议时,有限制规定的参加国应将一切现行的单方面数量限制,双边协定和其它有限制影响的数量限制,详细地通知纺织品监督机构,该机构应将这些情况通报其它参加国。
在接受或参加本协议后六十天内,参加国未将这些措施或协定通知纺织品监督机构,那么,这些措施和协定应被视为违反本协议并应立即废止。
二、一切单方面数量限制和其它有限制影响的数量限制,并已按上述第一款规定将此情况通知了纺织品监督机构,除非根据关贸总协定(包括附件和议定书)证明它们是正当的,否则,都应在本协议生效后一年内予以废止;但属于下列程序之一而符合本协议规定者除外:(一)包括一项应采取的并在本协议生效后一年内通知纺织品监督机构的规划,该规划的目的是在本协议生效后最长不超过三年的时间内,分阶段地取消现行各项限制,并考虑到依下述(二)项规定缔结的或正在谈判的双边协定;这应理解为在第一年内做出重大努力,在实质上取消各项限制和增加剩余的限额;(二)包括在本协议生效后一年期间内按第四条规定谈成的或正在谈判的双边协定;如果由于特殊原因,此种双边协定在一年时间内未谈成,经有关参加国磋商并征得纺织品监督机构同意,可延长这一期间,但不得超过一年。
(三)包括根据第三条规定谈成的协定或采取的措施。
三、按照本条第一款规定已通知的一切现行协定除关贸总协定(包括附件和议定书)规定认为正当者外,都应在本协议生效后一年内,或是终止,或是根据本协议规定认为正当,或按本协议规定进行修订。
四、为上述第二、第三款的目的,各参加国应提供充分的机会进行双边磋商和谈判,以便按照本协议第三、第四条规定采取相互可接受的解决办法,并允许从接受本协议的第一年起,尽可能完全取消现行的各项限制。
它们应在本协议生效后一年内,将按照本条规定采取的任何行动或谈判的情况,个别地向纺织品监督机构报告。
五、纺织品监督机构应在收到上述报告后九十天内,完成其审议工作。
在审议时,纺织品监督机构应考虑到所采取的一切行动是否符合本协议规定。
该机构可直接向有关参加国提出适当的建议,以便利于本条的实施。
第三条一、除根据关贸总协定(包括附件和议定书)规定认为正当者外,各参加国不得对纺织品贸易采用新的限制,也不得加强现行的各项限制;但根据本条规定认为正当者除外。
二、充分考虑到本协议规定的原则和目标并充分尊重进口国和出口国的利益,参加国同意审慎地采用本条规定,并且本条规定的施用应限于特定的产品和按附件一规定出口此种产品引起市场混乱的国家。
各参加国应考虑到从所有国家的进口产品并应设法采取适当平衡的措施。
凡由于从一个以上参加国进口而引起市场混乱者并在不可避免地要采用本条规定时,各参加国应牢记第六条规定,努力避免采用歧视性措施。
三、如果任何进口参加国认为,按附件一规定的市场扰乱定义,本国市场由于不受限制某项纺织品的进口而被扰乱时,该国应与出口参加国或有关国家进行磋商,以消除这种扰乱。
进口国可在其要求中指明,它认为此种产品出口应受到限制的特定水平。
该水平不得低于附件二指明的一般水平。
该出口国或有关国家应立即响应该项磋商要求。
进口国家提出的磋商要求,应附有对此种要求的原因和正当理由的详细事实说明,包括有关市场扰乱要素的最新资料,同时,提出要求的国家应将这一情况通知纺织品监督机构主席。
四、如果在磋商中,双方认为情况需要对有关的纺织品贸易加以限制,限制的水平应订在不低于附件二指明的水平。
达成协议的细节应呈报纺织品监督机构。
该机构应按照本协议规定,确定此项协议是否适当。
五、(一)但是,如果该出口参加国或一些国家在收到该项要求后六十天,对限制出口要求或其它可选择的解决办法未能达到协议,那么,提出要求的参加国对从上述第三款提及的参加国或一些国家进口的(按附件一规定)引起市场混乱的纺织原料及纺织品,在该出口参加国或一些国家收到该要求之日开始的十二个月内,可拒绝接受将进口量保持在不低于附件二规定的水平上。
为避免使有关贸易的商业性参加者产生不适当的困难,可在合乎本条目的的可能范围内,将这一水平予以调高。
同时,应就此事提请纺织品监督机构立即注意。
(二)但是,在六十天期限满期前,双方都应将此事提交纺织品监督机构。
(三)在这两种情况下,纺织品监督机构应立即对此事进行调查,并在此事提交该机构的三十天内,向直接有关的各方,提出适当的建议。
此项建议也应提交给纺织品委员会和关贸总协定理事会,供它们参考。
有关参加国在收到该建议后,应对已采取的措施或就这些措施的制定、继续、修改或停止进行审查。
六、在上述第五款提及的六十天内,一种或多种纺织品的进口引起了市场的严重混乱,造成了难以弥补的损失,在这种非常特殊和严重的情况下,进口国应要求有关出口国立即进行合作,在双方应急的基础上,避免此种损失,同时应立即将此情况详尽地报告纺织品监督机构。
有关国家在认为必要时,可做出任何相互可接受的临时安排,来处理这种情况,但不应妨碍根据本条第三款规定就此事进行磋商。
在未能达成此种临时安排的情况下,可按附件二指明的水平,采用临时性限制措施,特别要避免给有关贸易的商业性参加者带来不适当的困难。
除了有损害该措施目的的快速交货的可能性存在外,进口国至少应在一星期前将此种行动通知该出口参加国或一些出口国家,并根据本条第二款规定进行或继续磋商。
在根据本款规定采取某项措施时,双方都可将此事提交纺织品监督机构。
纺织品监督机构应按上述第五款规定的方式进行工作。
进口参加国在收到纺织品监督机构的建议后,应审查已采取的措施并就此向纺织品监督机构提出报告。
七、如果用本条规定的措施,各参加国在采用这种措施时,应设法避免损害各出口国尤其是发展中国家的生产和市场,并应避免采取可能导致对纺织品贸易设立额外非关税壁垒的任何措施。
它们应立即磋商,规定适当的程序,尤其是已经或即将装运的货物程序。
在未达成协议的情况下,可将此问题提交纺织品监督机构,该机构应做出适当的建议。
八、根据本条规定采取的措施,可施用于不超过一年的限期,如果直接有关的各参加国就续订或延期达成协议,可续订或再延长一年。
在此种情况下,附件二规定应适用。
关于续订或延期或修改或取消的意见,或任何有关争执都应提交纺织品监督机构,该机构应做出适当的建议。
但是,按附件二规定,根据本条规定的双边限制协议可超过一年的期限。
九、参加国应经常审查根据本条规定采取的任何措施,并应给予受到该措施影响的任一参加国或一些参加国充分磋商机会,以便尽快取消这些措施。
他们应随时或至少每年一次,将取消这些措施的进展情况报告纺织品监督机构。
第四条一、各参加国在实施它们在纺织品领域的贸易政策时,应牢记由于接受或参加本协议,在寻求解决这一领域发生的困难方面,要承诺采取多边解决的途径。
二、但是,在符合本协议基本目标和原则的情况下,各参加国可就相互可接受的条件,达成双边协议,一方面是为了消除进口国家的(附件一规定)市场混乱的真正危险和对出口国家的纺织品贸易的扰乱,另一方面是为了保障纺织品贸易的扩大和有秩序发展以及各参加国的公正待遇。
