由于历史原因,关税与贸易总协定创始缔约国之一的中国与总协定中断联系长达40多年。目前,我国正在进行恢复关贸总协定缔约国地位的谈判。从谈判的进程看,预计明年可以结束谈判。届时,我国将恢复缔约国地位,重新成为关贸总协定的成员国。这将是中国90年代经济生活中的一件大事,对促进中国的经济发展有着深远的意义。 For historical reasons, China, one of the founding parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, has suspended contact with the General Agreement for more than 40 years. At present, China is currently in the process of resuming negotiations on the status of the GATT. Judging from the progress of the negotiations, it is expected that negotiations can be concluded next year. At that time, China will resume its status as a party to the GATT. This will be a major event in the economic life of China in the 1990s and will have far-reaching significance in promoting China’s economic development.
