俄国即将加入WTO(2/2)

Russia's membership in the WTO will also benefit other WTO trading partners, including Georgia. Russia and Georgia finally signed an agreement earlier in November, clearing the way for Russia to join the WTO. Under the terms of the agreement, international observers will be deployed to monitor the movement of goods across sections of Russia's borders with the separatist Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. President Obama announced that he would now work with Congress to end the application of the Jackson-Vanik amendment to Russia in order to ensure that American firms and American exporters will enjoy the same benefits of Russian WTO membership as their international competitors. The amendment denies most favored nation status to certain countries with non-market economies that restrict emigration. This step would mark a win for both the Russian people and the American people. It will spur trade and make Russia a full-fledged partner in the international trading system governed by the WTO.

俄罗斯加入WTO，将令包括格鲁吉亚在内的其它WTO贸易伙伴受益。11月初，俄罗斯和格鲁吉亚最终签订协议，明确俄罗斯加入WTO的方式。协议条款中规定，将委派国际观察员监督俄罗斯边境地区和格鲁吉亚阿布哈兹和南奥塞梯地区分裂主义分子的商品交易活动。 美国总统奥巴马宣称将和国会共同努力，终止《杰克逊-瓦尼克修正案》对俄国的约束，以确保美国的公司和出口商在俄罗斯成为WTO成员后，在俄享有和其他国际竞争者相同的优惠政策。该修正案否定了某些非市场经济国家的最惠国待遇，限制移民。 此举将为美俄人民带来双赢化效益，刺激贸易增长，使俄罗斯成为WTO管理下国际贸易体制中成熟的合作伙伴。
