Research On Approaches Of The Effective Implementation Of Agreement On Trade Facilitation Under The Belt And Road Initiative

Agreement on Trade Facilitation,hereinafter referred to as TFA,is the most comprehensive international law in the field of trade facilitation.It has been one year since TFA came into effect,and its actual implementation still in the initial stage.It is also worth studying on whether the implementation of TFA bring the desired effect.TFA under the framework of WTO has important legal status and historical significance.However,it is found that TFA rules are not the perfect model for regulating trade facilitation.The existence of many soft clauses and the low maneuverability of capacity-building together makes WTO members difficult in implementing the rules.How to solve the challenges of implementation faced by TFA,how to improve the soft clauses of TFA and to make the second part,namely,capacity-building assistance more operational,comes as the pressing issue that needs to be solved.This thesis firstly reviews the current regulation of international law in the field of trade facilitation,and then introduces the legal attributes and significance of TFA.Next,I will introduce the content of TFA text,mainly explaining the provisions concerning trade facilitation measures and the content of capacity building assistance.These two parts are also the core of TFA.The 4th part of the thesis explores problems existing in TFA text on the basis of the above analysis.The next 5th part is about how to improve TFA rules by using the practical experience of ’ The Belt and Road Initiative ’(BRI)under the background of BRI,so as to promote the effective implementation of TFA.The innovation of this thesis is finding out that infrastructure construction is the internal connection point between BRI and TFA,and using the cooperation idea and practical experience advocated by BRI,which provides feasible approaches and choices for the improvement and perfection of TFA.
