Perspectives on the state trading issue in the WTO negotiations
讨论了国家贸易企业应否纳入WTO谈判议程，分析了其在GATT框架下的现状及对贸易改革结果的潜在影响，适合关注国际贸易规则和国有企业议题的学者。
It has been proposed that state trading enterprises should be on the agenda of the continuing WTO negotiations, on the premise that state trading enterprises can hinder market access in importing countries and can affect export competition. The aim of this paper is two-fold. First we highlight the current status of state trading enterprises in the GATT framework and outline the issues that appear to be of concern to many participant countries. The second part of the paper summarises some of our recent work in which we consider the potential impact of state trading enterprises on the outcome of trade reform.
