范文无忧网AGREEMENT ON TRADE-RELATED INVESTMENT MEASURES
Members,
Considering that Ministers agreed in the Punta del Este Declaration that "Following an examination of the operation of GATT Articles related to the trade restrictive and distorting effects of investment measures, negotiations should elaborate, as appropriate, further provisions that may be necessary to avoid such adverse effects on trade";
Desiring to promote the expansion and progressive liberalisation of world trade and to facilitate investment across international frontiers so as to increase the economic growth of all trading partners, particularly developing country Members, while ensuring free competition;
Taking into account the particular trade, development and financial needs of developing country Members, particularly those of the least-developed country Members;
Recognizing that certain investment measures can cause trade-restrictive and distorting effects;
Hereby agree as follows:
与贸易有关的投资措施协定
各成员，
考虑到部长们在《埃斯特角城宣言》中同意“在审查与投资措施的贸易限制作用和扭曲作用有关的GATT条款的运用情况之后，谈判应酌情详述为避免此类对贸易的不利影响而可能需要的进一步规定”；
期望促进世界贸易的扩大和逐步自由化，便利跨国投资，以便提高所有贸易伙伴、特别是发展中国家成员的经济增长，同时保证自由竞争；
考虑到发展中国家成员、特别是最不发达国家成员特殊的贸易、发展和财政需要；
认识到某些投资措施可能产生贸易限制作用和扭曲作用：

Article 5
Notification and Transitional Arrangements
1. Members, within 90 days of the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement, shall notify the Council for Trade in Goods of all TRIMs they are applying that are not in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement. Such TRIMs of general or specific application shall be notified, along with their principal features.1
第5条
通知和过渡性安排
In the case of TRIMs applied under discretionary authority, each specific application shall be notified. Information that would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of particular enterprises need not be disclosed. 1
1. 各成员应在《WTO协定》生效之日起90大内，将其正在实施的、与本协定规定不一致的所有TRIMs通知货物贸易理事会。在通知这些普遍或具体适用的TRIMs时，应同时说明其主要特征。1
2. Each Member shall eliminate all TRIMs which are notified under paragraph 1 within two years of the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement in the case of a developed country Member, within five years in the case of a developing country Member, and within seven years in the case of a least-developed country Member.
2. 每一成员均应取消根据第1款进行通知的所有TRIMs，发达国家成员应在《WTO协定》生效之日起2年内取消，发展中国家成员应在5年内取消，最不发达国家成员应在7年内取消。
3. On request, the Council for Trade in Goods may extend the transition period for the elimination of TRIMs notified under paragraph 1 for a developing country Member, including a least-developed country Member, which demonstrates particular difficulties in implementing the provisions of this Agreement. In considering such a request, the Council for Trade in Goods shall take into account the individual development, financial and trade needs of the Member in question.
3. 如一发展中国家成员，包括一最不发达国家成员可证明其在实施本协定规定方面存在特殊困难，则货物贸易理事会可应请求延长其取消根据第1款进行通知的TRIMs的过渡期。在考虑该请求时，货物贸易理事会应考虑所涉成员特殊的发展、财政和贸易需要。
4. During the transition period, a Member shall not modify the terms of any TRIM which it notifies under paragraph 1 from those prevailing at the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement so as to increase the degree of inconsistency with the provisions of Article 2. TRIMs introduced less than 180 days before the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement shall not benefit from the transitional arrangements provided in paragraph 2.
4. 在过渡期内，一成员不得修改根据第1款进行通知的任何TRIM的条件，使之不同于《WTO协定》生效之日通行的条件，从而增加其与第2条规定不一致的程度。在《WTO协定》生效之日前180天内采用的TRIMs不能获得第2款规定的过渡期安排的利益。
5. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 2, a Member, in order not to disadvantage established enterprises which are subject to a TRIM notified under paragraph 1, may apply during the transition period the same TRIM to a new investment (i) where the products of such investment are like products to those of the established enterprises, and (ii ) where necessary to avoid distorting the conditions of competition between the new investment and the established enterprises. Any TRIM so applied to a new investment shall be notified to the Council for Trade in Goods. The terms of such a TRIM shall be equivalent in their competitive effect to those applicable to the established enterprises, and it shall be terminated at the same time.
5. 尽管有第2条的规定，但是一成员为不使受根据第1款进行通知的一项TRIM约束的已建企业处于不利地位，在(i)该新投资的产品与已建企业的产品属同类产品，且(ii)在有必要避免扭曲新投资与现有企业之间竞争条件的情况下，仍可在过渡期内对新投资实施相同的TRIM。任何如此对新投资实施的TRIM均应通知货物贸易理事会。该TRIM的条件在竞争效果上应与适用于已建企业的TRIM的条件相同，并应同时终止。
Article 6
Transparency
1. Members reaffirm, with respect to TRIMs, their commitment to obligations on transparency and notification in Article X of GATT 1994, in the undertaking on "Notification" contained in the
如TRIMs是根据酌定权实施的，则其每一次具体适用均应通知。但可能损害特定企业合法商业利益的信息不必披露。 1

3. Each Member shall accord sympathetic consideration to requests for information, and afford adequate opportunity for consultation, on any matter arising from this Agreement raised by another Member. In conformity with Article X of GATT 1994 no Member is required to disclose information the disclosure of which would impede law enforcement or otherwise be contrary to the public interest or would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of particular enterprises, public or private.
3. 每一成员应对另一成员就与本协定有关的任何事项提出的提供信息的请求给予积极考虑，并提供充分的磋商机会。根据GATT 1994第10条，不要求任何成员披露会妨碍执法或违背公共利益或损害特定公私企业合法商业利益的信息。
