什么是WTO

　　世界貿(mào)易組織，即全球性的世界貿(mào)易組織，成立于1995年1月1日，是全球性的獨立于聯(lián)合國的永久性國際組織，被稱為“經(jīng)濟聯(lián)合國”。接下來小編為大家整理了什么是WTO。希望對你有幫助哦!

　　什么是世界貿(mào)易組織?

　　What's the World Trade Organization?

　　答：世界貿(mào)易組織是世界上獨一無二的處理國家之間貿(mào)易規(guī)則的世界性組織，其核心是世貿(mào)協(xié)議。

　　The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only international body dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements.

　　其目的有三：

　　1.使貿(mào)易盡可能的自由流動;

　　2.作為一個貿(mào)易談判的論壇;

　　3.爭端解決。

　　WTO has three main purposes:

　　1. To help trade flow as freely as possible

　　2. To serve as a forum for trade negotiations

　　3. To settle disputes

　　其原則有五：

　　1.非歧視;(without discrimination)

　　2.更自由;(freer)

　　3.可預見;(predictable)

　　4.更具競爭性;(more competitive)

　　5.更利于欠發(fā)達國家. (more beneficial for less developed countries)

　　WTO的組織結構是怎樣的?

　　Trade and Development

　　諸邊協(xié)議

　　Plurilaterals

　　注：事會其實是"三位一體"，即貿(mào)易政策審議機構、爭端解決機構和事會。

　　GATT和WTO的區(qū)別在哪里?

　　答：主要區(qū)別在于：

　　The main differences：

　　關貿(mào)總協(xié)定是臨時的。從未得到成員立法機構的批準，也未包括創(chuàng)立一個機構的條款。

　　GATT was ad hoc and provisional. The General Agreement was never ratified in member's parliaments, and it contained no provisions for the creation of an organization.

　　世界貿(mào)易組織及世貿(mào)協(xié)議是永久性的。作為一個國際組織，世界貿(mào)易組織由于成員的立法機構批準了世貿(mào)協(xié)議，且世貿(mào)協(xié)議本身描述了世貿(mào)的運作方式，因而有了很好的法律基礎。

　　The WTO and its agreements are permanent. As an international organization, the WTO has a sound legal basis because members have ratified the WTO agreements and the agreements themselves describe how the WTO is to function.

　　世貿(mào)有"成員"。關貿(mào)總協(xié)定有"締約方"，強調(diào)了關貿(mào)總協(xié)定正式而言是一個法律文本。

　　The WTO has "members". GATT had "contracting parties", underscoring the fact that officially GATT was a legal text.

　　關貿(mào)總協(xié)定管的是貨物貿(mào)易，世貿(mào)還管服務貿(mào)易和知識產(chǎn)權。

　　GATT dealt with trade in goods. The WTO covers services and intellectual property as well.

　　世貿(mào)爭端解決體系較關貿(mào)總協(xié)定更迅速，更主動，其裁決不受阻撓。

　　The WTO dispute settlement system is faster, more automatic than the old GATT system. Its rulings cannot be blocked.
