2006年10月,WTO正式成立专家组,审理欧美等诉中国影响汽车零部件进口措施案。本案中核心且争议较大的问题是中国有关措施是否违反GATT第2条关税约束和TRIMs协定。中国可主张全散件与整车构成“相同产品”从而不违反关税约束;论证中国有关措施系防止规避关税的管理措施而非TRIMs协定意义上的“投资措施”,从而避开陷入TRIMs协定的不利处境。对相关措施中其他有争议部分,可利用WTO争端解决机构(DSB)予以澄清;对于有关措施中明显不利部分,可利用DSB的“既往不咎、展望未来”的特点,待DSB裁决执行期届满时再采取修改措施。
In October 2006, the WTO officially set up an expert group to hear such cases as Europe and the United States v. China’s influence on the import of auto parts and components. The core and controversial issue in this case is whether China’s measures are in violation of the GATT Article 2 Tariff Restraint and the TRIMs Agreement. China may claim that the whole product and the entire vehicle form a “same product” so as not to violate the tariff restrictions. Demonstrating that China’s measures are measures to prevent tariff avoidance instead of “investment measures” in the TRIMs agreement and thus avoid being trapped in the TRIMs agreement Unfavorable situation. Other controversial parts of the relevant measures may be clarified by means of the WTO Department for Dispute Settlement (DSB); for the obvious disadvantageous part of the relevant measures, DSB’s “let-go-on and future-looking” features can be used and upon the expiration of the DSB’s execution period Take corrective action.
