《伯德修正案》与美国贸易保护主义的新特点

《伯德修正案》是2000年美国通过的一部重要的对外贸易保护法案。该法案对反倾销/反补贴税的分配作了有利于本国企业的规定,对美国对外贸易产生的负面影响范围广程度深,严重恶化了美国的国际贸易环境,引发了激烈的贸易大战。该法案反映出美国贸易保护主义的受益范围日益集中、对国民经济损害加剧以及对国际贸易规则和贸易伙伴日益敌对等新的特点。

Byrd Amendment: New Features of American Trade Protectionism

The Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act(Byrd Amendment) of 2000 signifies the latest major move of trade protectionism in the Unites States.It mandates the annual distribution of anti-dumping/ countervailing duties to domestic producers who initiate such cases,and therefore has far-reaching negative influence on American international trade.It harms the U.S.trading environment and triggers fierce trade wars.The new features of trade protectionism in the United States,namely the growing concentration of its benefits,its serious harm to domestic economy,and its flagrant defiance of international trade rules and trading partners,are clearly demonstrated by the analysis of the Byrd Amendment.
