Abstract

Research undertaken for the volume found that changes in the way that trade and investment agreements are negotiated, as well as sustainable development-related innovations contained in the procedural rules of the trade and investment treaties, from an interactional view, have implications for the way the treaty texts integrate for sustainable development. This chapter discusses four procedural innovations which are being used by Parties to identify potential environmental and sustainability impacts, and to consider innovative measures for inclusion in their trade and investment agreements. First, it considers impact assessments of trade and investment liberalization policies and draft treaties, focusing on the origins and scope of impact assessment processes, their mandates and methodologies, their role in integrating social and environmental issues into economic trade policy and how they could be improved. Second, it considers consultations between economic, environmental and social development authorities as a mechanism to secure more integrated and coherent trade and investment policy-making. Third, the chapter discusses transparency and public participation mechanisms, in agreement negotiations and the agreements themselves. Finally, it explores innovative dispute settlement provisions.
与可持续发展有关的程序创新
为本卷所作的研究发现,从相互作用的角度来看,贸易和投资协定谈判方式的变化以及贸易和投资条约程序规则中所载的与可持续发展有关的创新,都影响到条约案文为促进可持续发展而一体化的方式。本章讨论了缔约方正在使用的四项程序创新,以确定潜在的环境和可持续性影响,并考虑将创新措施纳入其贸易和投资协定。首先,它审议对贸易和投资自由化政策和条约草案的影响评估,重点是影响评估过程的起源和范围、它们的任务和方法、它们在将社会和环境问题纳入经济贸易政策方面的作用以及如何加以改进。第二,它认为经济、环境和社会发展当局之间的协商是确保贸易和投资决策更加一体化和协调一致的机制。第三章讨论了协议谈判和协议本身的透明度和公众参与机制。最后,探讨创新的争端解决条款。
