2013年WTO的部分成员着手服务贸易协定(TiSA)的谈判来促进服务贸易的自由化,如果TiSA最终能够建立多边服务贸易规则的新秩序,将对我国服务贸易的立法产生深远的影响。文章从TiSA谈判产生的法律背景及可能的法律地位入手,对其在基础文本、承诺减让表以及监管纪律等内容上对多边服务贸易体制的超越进行研究,研究结果显示,在基础文本的谈判方面,TiSA在服务贸易的基本问题上设计了与多边服务贸易体制相兼容的机制,以保障TiSA框架和基础文本不会成为TiSA多边化的障碍;在承诺减让表方面,TiSA谈判的起点是延伸区域服务贸易的谈判成果;在监管纪律方面,谈判重点是诸多领域的国内监管措施改革。TiSA现有谈判文本所体现出的高标准服务贸易政策的外溢与我国服务贸易市场的开放目标并不冲突,我国应在保证国家利益的前提下,逐步开放服务贸易的市场、改革服务贸易的国内监管措施,以确保服务贸易的进一步开放对我国经济发展的实际促进作用。
General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) has not got any substantive breakthrough for more than 20 years since it was effective. In the year 2013, some members of the WTO negotiate on Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) try to promote liberalization of trade in services. This paper starts from the background information of TiSA initiative and its possible legal status, then this paper analyze the core text, market access discussion based on offers and the regulatory disciplines on the basis of the TiSA negotiation, in the aspect of the core text, the fundamental issues of market access, national treatment and most favored nation treatment are designed based on GATS to explore its relationship with the multilateral trading system. In addition, in the aspect of offers and regulatory disciplines discussed in the TiSA negotiations, these two pillars are reflected as a more spillover of the high standard of services trade policy. As there is a need to promote the China's economic development by liberalizing the trade in services, Chinese government should improve the market of trade in services and at the same time to reform the domestic regulatory measures.
