为了准备从2000年开始的世界贸易组织新一轮贸易自由化谈判,日本和美国等国家已积极开展有关争夺谈判主导权的前哨战。在有关包括农业和服务领域以及降低工矿业品关税和制定投资规则在内的一揽子谈判方式问题上,日本和欧盟将统一步调,美国也对一揽子谈判持积极态度,因此有关谈判的气氛一举高涨起来。 In order to prepare for the new round of trade liberalization talks of the World Trade Organization that began in 2000, countries such as Japan and the United States have already actively engaged in outposting wars over the dominance of negotiations. Japan and the European Union will take a unified approach in the negotiations on a package of negotiations involving agricultural and service sectors, as well as lowering tariffs on industrial and mining products and formulating investment rules. The United States also holds a positive attitude toward a package of negotiations. As a result, the atmosphere of negotiations has risen rapidly. .
