摘要(Abstract):
在WTO新一轮谈判中,争端解决机制中的补偿是一个极具争议性的议题。补偿所具有的功能性缺陷及其文本规定上的内在不足使其倍受指责。为此,WTO成员当局和学者提出了许多关于改进DSU补偿措施的对策。本文对这些对策作了详尽的分析,并结合我国实际提出了我国理论与实务界应采取的因应策略。

- (7) 关于DSB建议和裁决是否具有直接效力的问题,可以参考有关WTO协定是否具有直接效力的论述。在"葡萄牙诉欧共体"案中(C- 149/96 Portugal v.Council [1999]ECR I-8395),欧共体否定了个人和成员国直接援用WTO协定来判断欧共体法律的合法性的权利。 目前,贸易额在全球居于前20位的国家均无明文赋予WTO协定在其国内法律秩序中具有直接效力。所以DSB建议或裁决在国内 难以得到法院的承认和执行。See also John H.Jackson and A.sykes(eds.),"Implementing the Uruguay Round",Oxford University Press, 1997.

- ① 对于DSU中的补偿措施的研究必须将其与中美"钢铁磋商"中提出贸易补偿要求、欧盟东扩的贸易补偿等问题严格区分开来。此 外,也不得混淆WTO各阶段的补偿措施。
- ② WTO Document,Chairman's text,Job(03)/91/Rev.1,28 May 2003.该文本是主席根据成员向贸易谈判委员会提交的42份提案及相关讨 论基础上形成的。自多哈会议以来,成员就此轮谈判共提交了40多个提案,涉及到DSU的27个条款中的24个以及4个附件中的2 个条款,还有提议新增加的条款和附件,具体内容包括时间框架、第三方权益、透明度、程序、机构设置、执行、发展中成员特殊和差别 待遇等问题。鉴于该主席文本仓促而成,很多条款并非建立在各方一致意见之上,因此各成员对于其反映不尽相同,有成员表示支 持,但也有不少成员表示不满和失望。实际上,从目前情况来看,主席文本的内容仍然只代表部分讨论成果,虽然可以作为一个谈判 的基础,但是并不意味着未列入主席文本的就不能够继续讨论,也不意味着成员不能再就新问题提出建议。
