Cross-cutting Issues under the WTO: Non-economic Concerns and Enhancement of Healthier Trade Ties epub pdf txt mobi 電子書 下載 2024

　　Cross-cutting issues, by their very nature, usually cause legal and practical complications and go beyond a purely trade dimension. How to ensure that trade measures taken under the WTO would not turn into excessively disruptive elements for the protection of non-economic interests or the operation of different regimes poses a challenge ahead for the WTO. This book addresses this challenge from two perspectives.

　　Part I explorers some key non-economic concerns. It includes issues on FCTC tobacco advertisement restrictions, anti-tobacco smuggling in light of Dominican-Cigarettes Case, compulsory licenses for access to medicine under bilateral investment agreements, excessive trade response to 2009 A/H1N1 influenza outbreak, and trade and cultural protection in the context of anti-dumping. Part II discusses some areas for the enhancement of healthier trade ties. It includes issues on DSU Article 21.5 compliance proceedings, export subsides remedies, DSU Article 25 arbitration, EC-IT product Case, and regional procurement arrangements in East Asia.

　　It is expected to be a useful book that helps readers (including scholars, practitioners, and students) widen their understanding of the WTO law.

　　跨領域議題係WTO貿易體系的重要部分。其中，貿易與區域整合、環境、投資、公共衛生、文化保護或人類價值等議題之關連性，受到相當的重視。跨領域議題究其本質，乃超越單純的貿易範疇，故常引起法律及實務層面的複雜性。因此，如何確保WTO下的貿易措施不致對非經濟利益之保護或不同規範領域之運作，構成過度干擾，係WTO面臨的新挑戰。

　　本書第一部分探討若干主要的非經濟關切。相關議題包括FCTC菸品廣告限制、Dominican-Cigarettes案與菸品走私、雙邊投資協定下之藥品強制授權、因應2009 A/H1N1新流感之過度貿易措施、反傾銷架構下之貿易與文化保護。本書第二部分則以促進更健全之貿易連結之角度處理若干領域。相關議題包括DSU 第21.5條履行審查小組程序、出口補貼救濟、DSU 第25條仲裁、EC-IT product案、東亞區域之政府採購安排。

　　藉由跨領域議題展現的多元面向，本書希望有助於讀者擴展其對WTO法律瞭解之廣度與深度。
