论国际贸易与环境壁垒

环境保护本来是以保护自然环境和人类健康为目的的活动,但它被贸易保护主义演变为贸易环境壁垒。而且,这种壁垒比其他贸易壁垒更加有效、隐蔽,甚至更为“名正言顺”。WTO可以消除国与国之间的有形壁垒,但却不可能消除环境壁垒这种无形壁垒。所以,我国作为WTO的成员国,无论是国家还是企业都要采取有效的办法来应对环境壁垒。国家应从宏观上制定各种环保政策,企业则从微观上制定应对策略,研究和生产更多的绿色产品,提高企业在国际市场上的竞争力。

International Trade and Environmental Barriers

The environmental protection is the activity for protecting the natural environment and human beings. But, now it has been developed into an international environmental trade barrier by protectionists. And this kind of barriers is more effective than any other trade barriers. WTO can eliminate the visible barriers between state-to-state, but it is impossible to eliminate the environmental barriers. Now, our country has become one of the members of WTO, not only our country but also our enterprise must adopt the valid way to cope with the environment barriers. Then, our nation should issue the environmental policies, and our enterprises should research and manufacture more "green" products in order to increase the competition ability in the international market.
