当前,由于GATS框架下自然人流动规则的开放性特征及成员方的政策差异而导致的不同利益诉求,自然人流动在GATS框架谈判中的自由化前景不甚明朗,在GATS框架之外寻求自由化措施成为当前自然人流动新的发展方向。目前一些区域贸易协定、国际组织以及成员国之间的自由化尝试为中国的自然人流动发展提供了借鉴,我国当前除了继续推动GATS谈判之外,还需要积极汲取自然人流动在GATS之外的自由化成果,并在国内法层面完善我国的自然人流动机制。
The dilemma of liberalizing movement of natural persons which could not be overcome in the framework of GATS because of its open-ended characteristic and different policies and interests among WTO members,who is striving to break the deadlock.The new development of the movement of natural persons outside the framework of GATS,such as regional trade conventions,internal laws and related IGOs,could be regarded as an inspiration to china.What we need now is not only to strive to participate in GATS negotiations,but also to draw lessons from achievements outside the framework of GATS to improve our mechanisms of the movement of natural persons.
