环保与贸易两种利益的微妙平衡,是21世纪WTO成员方普遍关注的焦点问题之一。由于GATT“环保例外”条款用语的模糊不清,决定了在所涉具体争端中,GATT/WTO争端解决机构对其所做的解释都具有极端重要性。从条约解释方法的角度对GATT“环保例外”条款进行研究,对于准确把握其具体内涵,进而明确GATT/WTO框架下环境—贸易争端的历史发展轨迹及趋势,无疑具有重大的现实意义。
The delicate balance between the two interests of environmental protection and trade is one of the major issues of general concern to WTO members in the 21st century. The vague terms of the terms of the GATT “Environmental Exception ” determine the extreme importance of the GATT / WTO Dispute Settlement Body’s interpretation of any of the specific disputes involved. Studying the GATT “environmental exception ” clause from the point of view of the interpretation of the treaty will undoubtedly be of great practical significance for accurately grasping its specific connotation and thus for clarifying the historical development track and trend of environmental-trade disputes under the GATT / WTO framework.
