加拿大石油管道公司横加公司(TransCanada)宣布根据北美自贸协定,对美国提起投资者与东道国争端诉讼程序

15 January 2016
北美主要的能源公司横加公司(也是提议修建拱心石管道项目的公司)上周宣布,已经提出一份意向书,根据北美自由贸易协定(NAFTA),启动针对美国政府的价值数十亿美元的投资者-东道国诉讼。 该公司在1月6日说,此举是对奥巴马政府2015年末决定不向跨境管道项目签发总统许可所作出的回应。横加公司还在一个美国国内法庭上挑战了该决议的合宪性。 这条新闻将这一著名的极具争议的管道项目重新拉回了人们的视线,而此时正值美国选举年,华盛顿的国会政治相当困难的时期;一边是美国总统奥巴马在推动批准跨太平洋伙伴关系(TPP)协定;而一些人怀疑在贸易协定中加入投资者-东道国争端解决(ISDS)条款是否有益处。...

中国确认终止稀土出口税

1 May 2015
中国财政部最近 确认 ,将从5月1日起终止对稀土征收出口税。该政策以及过去对矿产品的出口配额,都被告到WTO的争端解决机制,并且被判败诉。 欧盟、美国和日本曾在WTO对中国的出口税和配额提起诉讼,WTO上诉机构在2014年8月作出裁定,认为中国对稀土、钨、钼等自然资源的出口限制大多数不符合贸易规则。(《Bridges Weekly》, 2014年09月10日 ) 中国方面的抗辩是,这些政策是为了限制稀土开采和生产对环境造成的影响。但是,起诉方则认为,这些限制措施的实际目的是为了推高这些矿产品的价格,并给予中国生产商不公平的竞争优势。 中国是稀土矿产最大的生产国,大约占全球产量的90%,...
