Abstract

Abstract As in many other countries, Vietnam’s integration into the international trade system has accelerated since its participation in the WTO and regional trade agreements. However, widening market access – the consequence of this integration process – risks exacerbating some of Vietnam’s existing environmental problems. In this context, the Vietnamese government is adopting measures in order to mitigate negative impacts of trade on the environment, but do these measures risk violating Vietnam’s international trade commitments? Can the environmental protection provisions of new generation free trade agreements like CPTPP be a reliable legal basis to justify Vietnamese trade restriction measures? The author will analyse these questions, while focusing on the case of debris importation control – an issue that has been attracting a lot of public attention in Vietnam and in South East Asia in recent years.
贸易自由化与环境保护的协调-任重而道远?从WTO和CPTPP规则看越南的垃圾进口管制
与许多其他国家一样,越南自加入世界贸易组织和区域贸易协定以来,融入国际贸易体系的步伐加快。然而,扩大市场准入——这一一体化进程的后果——有可能加剧越南现有的一些环境问题。在这种情况下,越南政府正在采取措施,以减轻贸易对环境的负面影响,但这些措施是否有违反越南国际贸易承诺的风险?CPTPP等新一代自由贸易协定的环境保护条款能否成为越南贸易限制措施的可靠法律依据?作者将分析这些问题,同时将重点放在碎片进口控制的案例上——这是近年来在越南和东南亚吸引了很多公众关注的问题。
