Many developing countries often use direct investment to investment measures, protection reiated industries, and with the implementation of this agreement and phasing of the investment measures, and related industrial policy will no longer exist, regulation of developing countries in this regard is likely to be in the form of recourse to the arbitral tribunal, in the case of measures affecting the automobile industry in Indonesia in the practice of arbitration,Elaborate on the case to the Court of arbitration States how relevant provisions of the specific application of the TRIMs Agreement provides for more specific standards and references, and clarified the Uruguay Round had not clarified issues for the effective application of the TRIMs Agreement laying the Foundation for the theory and practice. The North American free trade agreement is the outcome of the importance of regional economic integration, which investors/national dispute settlement mechanism is the creative contribution of the agreement, had a significant impact on regional and multilateral investment legislation. It broke the traditional principles of international law, allow individuals to become subjects of investment disputes, which offers private investors a greater degree of protection, is so far on investment treaties provide the highest standards of protection of the rights of investors, known as the foreign investors'"Bill of rights".After the entry into force of the agreement, there are more than 10 investors as claimants, as claimants of investment dispute, revealed problems in practice for the analysis of such an innovative end solution provides a clear clue, also for the future to design more reasonable investment rules within the WTO system and further improve the existing dispute settlement mechanisms provided for reference.At the same time in environmental fines as sanctions in the dispute settlement mechanism is unique in its, we all know that investments there is a close relationship with the environment, rapid growth of foreign direct investment have brought challenges to environmental protection and environmental legislation of the host country, originally belonging to a country's environmental policy now only due to the impact of globalization, many contradictions with international investment.

But, although foreign legislative has significant progress in China, but which of some provisions also is does not meet today of investment development requirements of, in China of foreign investment legislative in the also has contrary to national treatment of phenomenon, also exists "super national treatment" and "times national treatment", also has about number limit of legislative, foreign to in China for investment which of some policy and program sexual provisions may also does not was outside by known and so on does not satisfactory of local. In China if to keep economic of high speed growth, effective reasonable of using foreign investment, on must to on foreign legislative for adjustment and perfect, will cancel does not conducive to fair competition, and does not meet WTO principles of provisions, combination China conditions implement national treatment principles; enhanced foreign to China investment of confidence, enhanced legal of transparency, for foreign better of understanding in China of investment related of legal policy provides facilitate; change legislative mode, specification legislative system, optimization foreign-funded enterprises structure, boot foreign inputs of direction and area.At the same time, owing to lack of legal set of comprehensive improvement, international investment and environmental protection of the negative impact of conflict on invested States we cannot ignore, China must learn from experience in the regulation on investment while focusing on environmental protection with a view to further improving the investment environment in China, promoting the sustained and healthy development.This article is divided into three parts:Introduction, body, conclusion.Chapter one primarily illustrates TRIMs Agreement text and its impact on international investment and influence on the famous Indonesian automobile industry measures case analysis, to explain the specific application of the terms of the TRIMs Agreement, revealed some of the disadvantages of the agreement.
