【摘要】：美国诉"中国影响出版物和视听娱乐产品的贸易权和分销服务措施"一案是WTO第一起直接适用GATT第20条(a)款的公共道德例外的案件。本案中上诉机构首次明确了GATT第20条(a)款的可适用性,确认了应由被诉成员来确立公共道德的含义和相关性的惯例,明晰了"必需"考察的要素、方法和举证责任问题,并将贸易限制考察范围有条件地延伸到对贸易主体的贸易限制程度上。本案给中国未来参与WTO争端解决提供了多重启示,中国应准确把握一般例外主张上的要点,特别应重视争端解决过程中的举证。
[Abstract]:The case of the United States v. China affecting Trade Rights of Publications and Audio-visual Entertainment products and measures of Distribution Services is the first case in which WTO directly applies Section 20 of GATT to the exception of public morality. In this case, the appellate body for the first time clarified the applicability of section 20 (a) of the GATT, confirmed the practice that the meaning and relevance of public morality should be established by the accused member, and clarified the elements, methods and burden of proof of the "necessary" examination, The scope of trade restriction is extended to the extent of trade restriction. This case provides many revelations for China to participate in the WTO dispute settlement in the future. China should accurately grasp the main points of the general exception proposition and pay particular attention to the proof in the process of dispute settlement.
