日前,中韓官方宣布,已經(jīng)完成中韓自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定(FTA)全部文本的草簽,并公開了協(xié)定中涉及關(guān)稅減讓的內(nèi)容,。
中韓達(dá)成自貿(mào)協(xié)定,除了大大加速中韓經(jīng)濟(jì)融合外,還會(huì)產(chǎn)生多重戰(zhàn)略效應(yīng):
首先,全球談判效應(yīng),。它是目前世界上主要經(jīng)濟(jì)體之間簽訂的最重要的、質(zhì)量和層次最高的自貿(mào)協(xié)定之一,對(duì)于推動(dòng)全球貿(mào)易自由化與投資便利化規(guī)則的談判具有重要的示范與推動(dòng)作用,。
第二,地區(qū)合作效應(yīng),。中韓自貿(mào)協(xié)定會(huì)進(jìn)一步催促日本、我國(guó)臺(tái)灣地區(qū)等經(jīng)濟(jì)體加速或升級(jí)與中國(guó)大陸的經(jīng)濟(jì)自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定的談判,最終建成中日韓自貿(mào)區(qū),帶動(dòng)整個(gè)東亞自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定談判,推動(dòng)更具包容性和前瞻性的亞太自貿(mào)區(qū)(FTAAP)的最終建立,。
第三,雙邊示范效應(yīng),。韓國(guó)作為美國(guó)的盟國(guó),率先與中國(guó)達(dá)成自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定,連同隨后的中國(guó)與澳大利亞FTA一道,會(huì)對(duì)美國(guó)在亞太地區(qū)的盟友產(chǎn)生重要的示范效應(yīng)。
第四,互聯(lián)互通效應(yīng),。中韓自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定最終讓韓國(guó)搭上中國(guó)“一帶一路”順風(fēng)車,加速與中國(guó)互聯(lián)互通而融入亞歐大陸,。
第五,橋梁紐帶效應(yīng)。韓國(guó)此前已經(jīng)與歐盟,、美國(guó)等主要經(jīng)濟(jì)體簽署了FTA,并且支持中國(guó)亞太自由區(qū)倡議,且正在協(xié)商加入跨太平洋戰(zhàn)略經(jīng)濟(jì)伙伴關(guān)系協(xié)議(TPP),但是,在韓國(guó)與其他國(guó)家簽署的所有自貿(mào)協(xié)定中,中韓自貿(mào)協(xié)定的關(guān)稅優(yōu)惠對(duì)象數(shù)量最多,。韓國(guó)對(duì)外經(jīng)濟(jì)政策研究院預(yù)測(cè),自貿(mào)區(qū)協(xié)定生效5年內(nèi),韓國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值(GDP)有望最高提升1.25%。(中國(guó)進(jìn)出口網(wǎng))
Recently, China and South Korea officially announced that China-ROK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) initialed text has been completed, and disclosed some contents involving tariff concessions.
In addition to greatly accelerating economic integration, the China-ROK FTA will also have multiple strategic effects:
First, global negotiations effect. It is one of the most important, the highest quality and level of the FTA signed among the world’s major economies, promoting the negotiations for the global trade liberalization and investment facilitation rules.
Second, regional cooperation effect. China ROK FTA will further urge Japan, Taiwan and other economies to accelerate or upgrade the free trade agreement negotiations with the China’s mainland economy, which is helpful to build China Japan ROK free trade zone, promoting the Free Trade Agreement negotiations in the whole of East Asia and the more inclusive and forward-looking FTAAP establishment.
