自由贸易区是一种仅在区内成员之间实行自由贸易 ,而对成员与非成员之间的贸易无任何约束的松散型的区域经济组织。在“一国两制”框架内制定的CEPA ,其性质为一个主权国家内统辖不同单独关税领土的政府之间达成的自由贸易协议 ,但仍然具有国际法上的效力。由于中国内地与港澳特区同为WTO成员 ,CEPA的制定与实施因而应受到WTO规则的制约。有关CEPA的实施和解释的争议应在联合指导委员会的框架内通过双边协商机制解决的模式选择是从中国国情出发并且在权衡各种争议解决机制利弊的基础上作出的 ,如果另设其他机制 ,则与中国的最大利益相悖。
A free-trade zone is a loosely-shaped regional economic organization that practices free trade only among its members while leaving no restrictions on the trade between members and non-members. The CEPA, established within the framework of “one country, two systems”, is a free-trade agreement between governments in sovereign countries that govern different separate customs territories but still has the force of international law. Since Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau SARs are both WTO members, the formulation and implementation of CEPA should be subject to WTO rules. Disputes over the implementation and interpretation of CEPA should be resolved through bilateral consultative mechanisms within the framework of the Joint Steering Committee. The model choice is based on China’s national conditions and on the basis of weighing the advantages and disadvantages of various dispute resolution mechanisms. If there are other mechanisms, It runs counter to the best interests of China.
