Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization
 
建立世界貿(mào)易組織（WTO）協(xié)定
 
背景資料：１９９４年４月１５日在摩洛哥的馬拉喀什市舉行的關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定烏拉圭回合部長(zhǎng)會(huì)議決定成立更具全球性的世界貿(mào)易組織（世貿(mào)組織），以取代成立于１９４７年的關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定（ＧＡＴＴ）。
　　世貿(mào)組織是一個(gè)獨(dú)立于聯(lián)合國(guó)的永久性國(guó)際組織。該組織的基本原則和宗旨是通過實(shí)施市場(chǎng)開放、非歧視和公平貿(mào)易等原則，來達(dá)到推動(dòng)實(shí)現(xiàn)世界貿(mào)易自由化的目標(biāo)。１９９５年１月１日正式開始運(yùn)作，負(fù)責(zé)管理世界經(jīng)濟(jì)和貿(mào)易秩序，總部設(shè)在日內(nèi)瓦萊蒙湖畔的關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定總部大樓內(nèi)。１９９６年１月１日，它正式取代關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定臨時(shí)機(jī)構(gòu)。
　　與關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定相比，世貿(mào)組織管轄的范圍除傳統(tǒng)的和烏拉圭回合新確定的貨物貿(mào)易外，還包括長(zhǎng)期游離于關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定外的知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)、投資措施和非貨物貿(mào)易（服務(wù)貿(mào)易）等領(lǐng)域。世貿(mào)組織具有法人地位，它在調(diào)解成員爭(zhēng)端方面具有更高的權(quán)威性和有效性。
建立世貿(mào)組織的設(shè)想是在１９４７年７月舉行的布雷頓森林會(huì)議上提出的，當(dāng)時(shí)設(shè)想在成立世界銀行和國(guó)際貨幣基金組織的同時(shí)，成立一個(gè)國(guó)際性貿(mào)易組織，從而使它們成為二次大戰(zhàn)后左右世界經(jīng)濟(jì)的“貨幣－金融－貿(mào)易”三位一體的機(jī)構(gòu)。１９４７年聯(lián)合國(guó)貿(mào)易及就業(yè)會(huì)議簽署的《哈瓦那憲章》同意成立世貿(mào)組織，后來由于美國(guó)的反對(duì)，世貿(mào)組織未能成立。同年，美國(guó)發(fā)起擬訂了關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定，作為推行貿(mào)易自由化的臨時(shí)契約。１９８６年關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定烏拉圭回合談判啟動(dòng)后，歐共體和加拿大于１９９０年分別正式提出成立世貿(mào)組織的議案，１９９４年４月在摩洛哥馬拉喀什舉行的關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議才正式?jīng)Q定成立世貿(mào)組織。

5．世貿(mào)組織可訂立一總部協(xié)定。
 
Article IX  Decision-Making第九條　決策
The WTO shall continue the practice of decision-making by consensus followed under GATT 1947(1). Except as otherwise provided, where a decision cannot be arrived at by consensus, the matter at issue shall be decided by voting. At meetings of the Ministerial Conference and the General Council, each Member of the WTO shall have one vote. Where the European Communities exercise their right to vote, they shall have a number of votes equal to the number of their member States(2)which are Members of the WTO. Decisions of the Ministerial Conference and the General Council shall be taken by a majority of the votes cast, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the relevant Multilateral Trade Agreement(3).
1．世貿(mào)組織應(yīng)繼續(xù)實(shí)行GATT1947所遵循的經(jīng)協(xié)商一致作出決定的做法。除非另有規(guī)定，否則如無法經(jīng)協(xié)商一致作出決定，則爭(zhēng)論中的事項(xiàng)應(yīng)通過投票決定。在部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議和總理事會(huì)會(huì)議上，世貿(mào)組織每一成員擁有一票。如歐洲共同體行使投票權(quán)，則其擁有的票數(shù)應(yīng)與屬世貿(mào)組織成員的歐洲共同體成員國(guó)的數(shù)目相等。部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議和總理事會(huì)的決定應(yīng)以所投票數(shù)的簡(jiǎn)單多數(shù)作出，除非本協(xié)定或有關(guān)多邊貿(mào)易協(xié)定另有規(guī)定。
 
2. The Ministerial Conference and the General Council shall have the exclusive authority to adopt interpretations of this Agreement and of the Multilateral Trade Agreements. In the case of an interpretation of a Multilateral Trade Agreement in Annex 1, they shall exercise their authority on the basis of a recommendation by the Council overseeing the functioning of that Agreement. The decision to adopt an interpretation shall be taken by a three-fourths majority of the Members. This paragraph shall not be used in a manner that would undermine the amendment provisions in Article X.
2．部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議和總理事會(huì)擁有通過對(duì)本協(xié)定和多邊貿(mào)易協(xié)定所作解釋的專有權(quán)力。對(duì)附件1中一多邊貿(mào)易協(xié)定的解釋，部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議和總理事會(huì)應(yīng)根據(jù)監(jiān)督該協(xié)定實(shí)施情況的理事會(huì)的建議行使其權(quán)力。通過一項(xiàng)解釋的決定應(yīng)由成員的四分之三多數(shù)作出。本款不得以損害第10條中有關(guān)修正規(guī)定的方式使用。
 
3. In exceptional circumstances, the Ministerial Conference may decide to waive an obligation imposed on a Member by this Agreement or any of the Multilateral Trade Agreements, provided that any such decision shall be taken by three fourths (4) of the Members unless otherwise provided for in this paragraph.
(a)A request for a waiver concerning this Agreement shall be submitted to the Ministerial Conference for consideration pursuant to the practice of decision-making by consensus. The Ministerial Conference shall establish a time-period, which shall not exceed 90 days, to consider the request. If consensus is not reached during the time-period, any decision to grant a waiver shall be taken by three fourths4 of the Members.
(b)A request for a waiver concerning the Multilateral Trade Agreements in Annexes 1A or 1B or 1C and their annexes shall be submitted initially to the Council for Trade in Goods, the Council for Trade in Services or the Council for TRIPS, respectively, for consideration during a time-period which shall not exceed 90 days. At the end of the time-period, the relevant Council shall submit a report to the Ministerial Conference.
3．在特殊情況下，部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議可決定豁免本協(xié)定或任何多邊貿(mào)易協(xié)定要求一成員承擔(dān)的義務(wù)，但是任何此類決定應(yīng)由成員的四分之三 多數(shù)作出，除非本款另有規(guī)定。
（a）有關(guān)本協(xié)定的豁免請(qǐng)求，應(yīng)根據(jù)經(jīng)協(xié)商一致作出決定的做法，提交部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議審議。部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議應(yīng)確定一不超過90天的期限審議該請(qǐng)求。如在此期限內(nèi)未能協(xié)商一致，則任何給予豁免的決定應(yīng)由成員的四分之三多數(shù)作出。
（b）有關(guān)附件1A、附件1B或附件1C所列多邊貿(mào)易協(xié)定及其附件的豁免請(qǐng)求，應(yīng)首先分別提交貨物貿(mào)易理事會(huì)、服務(wù)貿(mào)易理事會(huì)或TRIPS理事會(huì)，在不超過90天的期限內(nèi)審議。在該期限結(jié)束時(shí)，有關(guān)理事會(huì)應(yīng)向部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議提交一份報(bào)告。
 
4. A decision by the Ministerial Conference granting a waiver shall state the exceptional circumstances justifying the decision, the terms and conditions governing the application of the waiver, and the date on which the waiver shall terminate. Any waiver granted for a period of more than one year shall be reviewed by the Ministerial Conference not later than one year after it is granted, and thereafter annually until the waiver terminates. In each review, the Ministerial Conference shall examine whether the exceptional circumstances justifying the waiver still exist and whether the terms and conditions attached to the waiver have been met. The Ministerial Conference, on the basis of the annual review, may extend, modify or terminate the waiver.
4．部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議給予豁免的決定應(yīng)陳述可證明該決定合理的特殊情況、適用于實(shí)施豁免的條款和條件以及豁免終止的日期。所給予的期限超過1年的任何豁免應(yīng)在給予后不遲于1年的時(shí)間內(nèi)由部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議審議，并在此后每年審議一次，直至豁免終止。每次審議時(shí)，部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議應(yīng)審查證明豁免合理的特殊情況是否仍然存在及豁免所附條款和條件是否得到滿足。部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議根據(jù)年度審議情況，可延長(zhǎng)、修改或終止該項(xiàng)豁免。
 
5. Decisions under a Plurilateral Trade Agreement, including any decisions on interpretations and waivers, shall be governed by the provisions of that Agreement.
5．一諸邊貿(mào)易協(xié)定項(xiàng)下作出的決定，包括有關(guān)解釋和豁免的任何決定，應(yīng)按該協(xié)定的規(guī)定執(zhí)行。
