內容簡介

  Cross-cutting issues, by their very nature, usually cause legal and practical complications and go beyond a purely trade dimension. How to ensure that trade measures taken under the WTO would not turn into excessively disruptive elements for the protection of non-economic interests or the operation of different regimes poses a challenge ahead for the WTO. This book addresses this challenge from two perspectives.

  Part I explorers some key non-economic concerns. It includes issues on FCTC tobacco advertisement restrictions, anti-tobacco smuggling in light of Dominican-Cigarettes Case, compulsory licenses for access to medicine under bilateral investment agreements, excessive trade response to 2009 A/H1N1 influenza outbreak, and trade and cultural protection in the context of anti-dumping. Part II discusses some areas for the enhancement of healthier trade ties. It includes issues on DSU Article 21.5 compliance proceedings, export subsides remedies, DSU Article 25 arbitration, EC-IT product Case, and regional procurement arrangements in East Asia.

  It is expected to be a useful book that helps readers (including scholars, practitioners, and students) widen their understanding of the WTO law.

  跨領域議題係WTO貿易體系的重要部分。其中,貿易與區域整合、環境、投資、公共衛生、文化保護或人類價值等議題之關連性,受到相當的重視。跨領域議題究其本質,乃超越單純的貿易範疇,故常引起法律及實務層面的複雜性。因此,如何確保WTO下的貿易措施不致對非經濟利益之保護或不同規範領域之運作,構成過度干擾,係WTO面臨的新挑戰。

  本書第一部分探討若干主要的非經濟關切。相關議題包括FCTC菸品廣告限制、Dominican-Cigarettes案與菸品走私、雙邊投資協定下之藥品強制授權、因應2009 A/H1N1新流感之過度貿易措施、反傾銷架構下之貿易與文化保護。本書第二部分則以促進更健全之貿易連結之角度處理若干領域。相關議題包括DSU 第21.5條履行審查小組程序、出口補貼救濟、DSU 第25條仲裁、EC-IT product案、東亞區域之政府採購安排。

  藉由跨領域議題展現的多元面向,本書希望有助於讀者擴展其對WTO法律瞭解之廣度與深度。

PREFACE

  Over the past years, some issues cutting across several topics and fields are increasingly recognized as an integral part of the global trading system and have secured wide attention. Of these, trade issues in relation to regional integration, environment, investment, public health, cultural protection or human values are noticeable examples. These cross-cutting issues, by their very nature, usually cause legal and practical complications and go beyond a purely trade dimension. In view of this, the question of how to ensure that trade measures taken under the WTO would not turn into excessively disruptive elements for the protection of non-economic interests or the operation of different regimes poses a challenge ahead for the WTO.

  The ten journal articles gathered in this book mainly aim at addressing cross-cutting concerns. They were published in Journal of World Trade (SSCI Journal), IIC-International Review of Intellectual Property and Competition Law (SSCI Journal), Asian Journal of WTO & International Health Law and Policy (SSCI Journal), Contemporary Asia Arbitration Journal, The Journal of Word Investment & Trade, and The International Lawyer. The covered issues can generally be divided into two Parts.

  Part I addresses some key non-economic concerns. It includes chapters touching upon tobacco advertisement envisioned in WHO/FCTC from the perspective of GATS, anti-tobacco smuggling and health concerns in light of Dominican-Cigarettes Case, compulsory licenses for access to medicine in the context of bilateral investment agreements, issues on excessive trade response to 2009 A/H1N1 influenza outbreak, and trade and cultural protection in the context of anti-dumping.

  Part II addresses some areas for the enhancement of healthier trade ties. It includes chapters discussing WTO compliance proceedings and Doha suggested reform, persistent issues on export subsides remedies, DSU Article 25 arbitration from a perspective on intellectual property dispute, the challenge for the ITA with converging technologies as reflected on the EC-IT product Case, and the link between WTO and regional procurement arrangements.

  This book is the third volume of the Asian Center for WTO & International Health Law and Policy Book Series. It is expected to be a useful book that helps readers deepen and broaden their understanding of cross-cutting issues in the dynamic land of the WTO law.

  I am particularly indebted to Professor Chang-Fa Lo who always supports and encourages me. Professor Lo will start his position as Grand Justice of the Constitutional Court of Taiwan. By the time this book appears, I would also like to take this opportunity to pay a special tribute to him.
