WTO与绿色壁垒：若干法律问题分析

绿色壁垒由于在客观上形成一种市场准入的障碍，易引发国际贸易争端。世贸组织协议中的“环保例外权”是其产生的法律依据，但有关条文规定存在一些缺陷，使绿色壁垒常被滥用。从进口国的动机来看，绿色壁垒有正当与不正当之分。实践中发达国家口惠而实不至，使绿色壁垒给发展中国家带来的更多的是消极影响。我国作为发展中国家，在入世以后，既应主动创造和善于利用良好的外部环境，也应积极推动国内经贸领域环保事业的发展，以化壁垒为通途。

WTO and Green Barrier: Analysis on Some Lagal Issues

Green barrier often causes international trade disputes because it easily constitutes a barrier to market access. The environmental protection as an exception stipulated in WTO agreements is the legal basis for green barrier, but green barrier has often been abused due to some defects in the relevant provisions. In the perspective of the motives of the importing countries green barrier can be divided into two categories, i.e. legal and illegal. In practice developed countries do not keep their commitments, as a result green barrier has more negative effects on developing countries. After its access to WTO, China should create and make good use of external environment and promote the development of environmental protection in the field of domestic economy and trade so as to turn this barrier into a thoroughfare.
