关贸总协定乌拉圭回合谈判之 前,农产品贸易一直作为一个特殊领域游离于国际多边贸易纪律的有效约束之外。1986-1993年乌拉圭回合谈判达成的农业协议,使农业问题第一次被纳入国际贸易规则的约束。由于国内农业支持措施对农产品贸易影响不亚于边境措施的影响,因此,要有效地削减农业贸易扭曲,除对边境措施进行限制外,还必须对有关国内支持政策进行约束。 Prior to the GATT Uruguay Round negotiations, the trade in agricultural products remained as a special area free from the effective constraints of international multilateral trade discipline. The agricultural agreement reached during the Uruguay Round negotiations of 1986-1993 allowed the agricultural issue to be bound by the rules of international trade for the first time. Since domestic agricultural support measures have no less than the impact of border measures on trade in agricultural products, we must effectively reduce the distortions in agricultural trade and, in addition to the restrictions on border measures, we must also restrain the domestic supportive policies.
