　　Article X: Publication and Administration of Trade Regulations

　　第十条 贸易条例的公布和实施

　　1. Laws, regulations, judicial decisions and administrative rulings of general application, made effective by any contracting party, pertaining to the classification or the valuation of products for customs purposes, or to rates of duty, taxes or other charges, or to requirements, restrictions or prohibitions on imports or exports or on the transfer of payments therefor, or affecting their sale, distribution, transportation, insurance, warehousing inspection, exhibition, processing, mixing or other use, shall be published promptly in such a manner as to enable governments and traders to become acquainted with them. Agreements affecting international trade policy which are in force between the government or a governmental agency of any contracting party and the government or governmental agency of any other contracting party shall also be published. The provisions of this paragraph shall not require any contracting party to disclose confidential information which would impede law enforcement or otherwise be contrary to the public interest or would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of particular enterprises, public or private.

　　1.缔约国有效实施的关于海外对产品的分类或估价，关于税捐或其他费用的征收率,关于对进出口货物及其支付转帐的规定、限制和禁止，以及关于影响进出口货物的销售、分配、运输、保险、存仓、检验、展览、加工、混合或使用的法令、条例与一般援用的司法判决及行政决定，都应迅速公布，以使各国政府及贸易商对它们熟习。一缔约国政府或政府机构与另一缔约国政府或政府机构之间缔结的影响国际贸易政策的现行规定，也必须公布。但本款的规定并不要求缔约国公开那些会妨碍法令的贯彻执行、会违反公共利益、或会损害某一公私企业的正当商业利益的机密资料。

　　2. No measure of general application taken by any contracting party effecting an advance in a rate of duty or other charge on imports under an established and uniform practice, or imposing a new or more burdensome requirement, restriction or prohibition on imports, or on the transfer of payments therefor, shall be enforced before such measure has been officially published.

　　2.缔约国采取的按既定统一办法提高进口货物关税或其他费用的征收率，或者对进口货物及其支付转让实施新的或更严的规定，限制或禁止的普遍的适用的措施，非经正式公布,不得实施。

　　3. (a) Each contracting party shall administer in a uniform, impartial and reasonable manner all its laws, regulations, decisions and rulings of the kind described in paragraph 1 of this Article.

　　(b) Each contracting party shall maintain, or institute as soon as practicable, judicial, arbitral or administrative tribunals or procedures for the purpose, inter alia, of the prompt review and correction of administrative action relating to customs matters. Such tribunals or procedures shall be independent of the agencies entrusted with administrative enforcement and their decisions shall be implemented by, and shall govern the practice of, such agencies unless an appeal is lodged with a court or tribunal of superior jurisdiction within the time prescribed for appeals to be lodged by importers; Provided that the central administration of such agency may take steps to obtain a review of the matter in another proceeding if there is good cause to believe that the decision is inconsistent with established principles of law or the actual facts.

　　3.(甲)缔约各国应以统一、公正和合理的方式实施本条第一款所述的法令、条例、判决和决定。

　　(乙)为了能够特别对于有关海关事项的行政行为迅速进行检查和纠正，缔约各国应维持或尽快建立司法的、仲裁的或行政的法庭或程序。这种法庭或程序应独立于负责行政实施的机构之外，而它们的决定，除进口商于规定上诉期间向上级法院或法庭提出申诉以外，应由这些机构予以执行，并作为今后实施的准则;但是，如这些机构的中央主管机关有充分理由认为它们的决定与法律的既定原则有抵触或与事实不符，它可以采取步骤使这个问题经由另一程序加以检查。

　　(c) The provisions of subparagraph (b) of this paragraph shall not require the elimination or substitution of procedures in force in the territory of a contracting party on the date of this Agreement which in fact provide for an objective and impartial review of administrative action even though such procedures are not fully or formally independent of the agencies entrusted with administrative enforcement. Any contracting party employing such procedures shall, upon request, furnish the CONTRACTING PARTIES with full information thereon in order that they may determine whether such procedures conform to the requirements of this subparagraph.

　　(丙)如于本协定签订之日在缔约国领土内实施的事实上能够对行政行为提供客观公正的检查，即使这个程序不是全部或正式地独立于负责行政实施的机构以外，本款(乙)项的规定，并不要求取消它或替换它。实施这种程序的缔约国如被请求，应向缔约国全体提供有关这种程序的详尽资料，以便缔约国全体决定这种程序是否符合本项规定的要求。

　　Article XI: General Elimination of Quantitative Restrictions 第十一条 数量限制的一般取消

　　1. No prohibitions or restrictions other than duties, taxes or other charges, whether made effective through quotas, import or export licences or other measures, shall be instituted or maintained by any contracting party on the importation of any product of the territory of any other contracting party or on the exportation or sale for export of any product destined for the territory of any other contracting party.

　　1.任何缔约国除征收税捐或其他费用以外，不得设立或维持配额、进出口许可证或其他措施以限制或禁止其他缔约国领土的产品的输入，或向其他缔约国领土输出或销售出口产品。

　　2. The provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article shall not extend to the following:

　　(a) Export prohibitions or restrictions temporarily applied to prevent or relieve critical shortages of foodstuffs or other products essential to the exporting contracting party;

　　(b) Import and export prohibitions or restrictions necessary to the application of standards or regulations for the classification, grading or marketing of commodities in international trade;

　　2.本条第一款的规定不适用于：

　　(甲)为防止或缓和输出缔约国的粮食或其他必需品的严重缺乏而临时实施的禁止出口或限制出口;

　　(乙)为实施国际贸易上商品分类、分级和销售的标准及条例，而必需实施的禁止进出口或限制出口;

　　(c) Import restrictions on any agricultural or fisheries product, imported in any form,necessary to the enforcement of governmental measures which operate:

　　(i) to restrict the quantities of the like domestic product permitted to be marketed or produced, or, if there is no substantial domestic production of the like product, of a domestic product for which the imported product can be directly substituted; or

　　(ii) to remove a temporary surplus of the like domestic product, or, if there is no substantial domestic production of the like product, of a domestic product for which the imported product can be directly substituted, by making the surplus available to certain groups of domestic consumers free of charge or at prices below the current market level; or

　　(丙)对任何形式的农渔产品有必要实施的进口限制，如果这种限制是为了贯彻：

　　(1)限制相同国产品允许生产或销售的数量，或者，相同国产品若是产量不大，限制能直接代替进口产品的国产品的允许生产或销售数量的政府措施;或

　　(2)通过采用免费或低于现行市场价格的办法，将剩余品供国内某些阶层消费以消除相同国产品的暂时过剩，或者，相同国产品若是产量不大，以消除能直接代替进口产品的国产品的暂时过剩的政府措施;或

　　(iii) to restrict the quantities permitted to be produced of any animal product the production of which is directly dependent, wholly or mainly, on the imported commodity, if the domestic production of that commodity is relatively negligible.

　　Any contracting party applying restrictions on the importation of any product pursuant to subparagraph (c) of this paragraph shall give public notice of the total quantity or value of the product permitted to be imported during a specified future period and of any change in such quantity or value. Moreover, any restrictions applied under (i) above shall not be such as will reduce the total of imports relative to the total of domestic production, as compared with the proportion which might reasonably be expected to rule between the two in the absence of restrictions. In determining this proportion, the contracting party shall pay due regard to the proportion prevailing during a previous representative period and to any special factorswhich may have affected or may be affecting the trade in the product concerned.

　　(3)限制生产系全部或主要地直接依赖于进口而国内产量相对有限的动物产品允许生产的数量的政府措施。

　　缔约国按照本款(丙)项对某项产品实施进口限制时，应公布今后指定时期内准予进口的产品的全部数量或价值以及可能的变动。同时，根据上述(1)项而实施的限制，不应使产品的进口总量与其国内生产总量间的比例，低于若不执行限制可以合理预期达到的比例。缔约国在确定这个比例时，对前一有代表性的时期的比例以及可能曾经影响或正在影响这个产品贸易的任何特殊因素，均应给予适当的考虑。

　　Article XII: Restrictions to Safeguard the Balance of Payments

　　第十二条 为保障国际收支而实施的限制

　　1. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article XI, any contracting party, in order to safeguard its external financial position and its balance of payments, may restrict the quantity or value of merchandise permitted to be imported, subject to the provisions of the following paragraphs of this Article.

　　1.虽有本协定第十一条第一款的规定，任何缔约国为了保障其对外金融地位和国际收支，可以限制准许进口的商品数量或价值，但须遵守本条下述各款的规定。

　　2. (a) Import restrictions instituted, maintained or intensified by a contracting party under this Article shall not exceed those necessary:

　　(i) to forestall the imminent threat of, or to stop, a serious decline in its monetary reserves; or

　　(ii) in the case of a contracting party with very low monetary reserves, to achieve a reasonable rate of increase in its reserves.

　　Due regard shall be paid in either case to any special factors which may be affecting the reserves of such contracting party or its need for reserves, including, where special external credits or other resources are available to it, the need to provide for the appropriate use of such credits or resources.

　　2.(甲)一缔约国根据本条规定而建立、维持或加强的进口限制，不得超过：

　　(1)为了预防货币储备严重下降的迫切威胁或制止货币储备严重下降所必须的程度;或

　　(2)对货币储备很低的缔约国，为了使储备合理增长所必需的程度。

　　在以上两种情况下，对可能正在影响这一缔约国储备或其对储备的需要的任何特殊因素，包括在能够得到特别国外信贷或其他资源的情况下，安排适当使用这种信贷或资源的需要，都应加以适当考虑。

　　(b) Contracting parties applying restrictions under sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph shall progressively relax them as such conditions improve, maintaining them only to the extent that the conditions specified in that sub-paragraph still justify their application. They shall eliminate the restrictions when conditions would no longer justify their institution or maintenance under that subparagraph.

　　(乙)缔约各国根据本款(甲)项实施的限制，在情况改善时应逐步予以放宽，只维持根据(甲)项所列情况认为仍有必要实施的为限。如情况改变，已无必要建立或维持根据( 甲)项实施的限制，就应立即予以取消。

　　3. (a) Contracting parties undertake, in carrying out their domestic policies, to pay due regard to the need for maintaining or restoring equilibrium in their balance of payments on a sound and lasting basis and to the desirability of avoiding an uneconomic employment of productive resources. They recognize that, in order to achieve these ends, it is desirable so far as possible to adopt measures which expand rather than contract international trade.

　　(b) Contracting parties applying restrictions under this Article may determine the incidence of the restrictions on imports of different products or classes of products in such a way as to give priority to the importation of those products which are more essential.

　　3.(甲)缔约各国在执行国内政策时承担义务：对维持或恢复各自的国际收支平衡于健全持久的基础上的必要和避免生产资源的非经济使用的好处，予以适当注意。缔约各国认为：要实现上述目标，最好尽可能采取措施扩大而不是缩小国际贸易。

　　(乙)按本条规定实施限制的缔约各国，可以对不同进口产品或进口产品的不同类别确定不同程度的限制，使比较必需的产品能够优先进口。

　　(c) Contracting parties applying restrictions under this Article undertake:

　　(i) to avoid unnecessary damage to the commercial or economic interests of any other contracting party;

　　(ii) not to apply restrictions so as to prevent unreasonably the importation of any description of goods in minimum commercial quantities the exclusion of which would impair regular channels of trade; and

　　(iii) not to apply restrictions which would prevent the importations of commercial samples or prevent compliance with patent, trade mark, copyright, or similar procedures.

　　(丙)按本条实施限制的缔约各国，承担下列义务：

　　(1)对任何其他缔约国的贸易或经济利益，避免造成不必要的损害;

　　(2)实施的限制不无理地阻碍任何完全禁止其输入即会损害正常贸易渠道的那种最低贸易数量的输入;

　　(3)实施的限制不阻碍商业货样的输入或阻碍专利权、商标、版权或类似程序的遵守 。

　　(d) The contracting parties recognize that, as a result of domestic policies directed towards the achievement and maintenance of full and productive employment or towards the development of economic resources, a contracting party may experience a high level of demand for imports involving a threat to its monetary reserves of the sort referred to in paragraph 2 (a) of this Article. Accordingly, a contracting party otherwise complying with the provisions of this Article shall not be required to withdraw or modify restrictions on the ground that a change in those policies would render unnecessary restrictions which it is applying under this Article.

　　(丁)缔约各国认为，由于实施某种旨在达到和维持有生产效率的充分就业和旨在发展经济资源的国内政策，一缔约国可能出现高度的进口需求，造成本条第二款(甲)项所述的那种对货币储备的威胁。因此，对一个在其他方面都执行本条规定的缔约国，不得以它的政策的改变使其根据立法实施的限制成为不必要为理由，而要求它撤销或修改它根据本条实施的限制。

　　4. (a) Any contracting party applying new restrictions or raising the general level of its existing restrictions by a substantial intensification of the measures applied under this Article shall immediately after instituting or intensifying such restrictions (or, in circumstances in which prior consultation is practicable, before doing so) consult with the CONTRACTING PARTIES as to the nature of its balance of payments difficulties, alternative corrective measures which may be available, and the possible effect of the restrictions on the economies of other contracting parties.

　　4.(甲)建立新的限制或大幅度加强按本条实施的措施因而提高现行限制一般水平的任何缔约国，应在建立或加强限制后(如能事前协商，则应于建立或加强前)，立即与缔约国全体就自己国际收支困难的性质，可能采取的其他补救办法以及这些限制对其他缔约国的经济可能造成的影响，进行协商。

　　(b) On a date to be determined by them,the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall review all restrictions still applied under this Article on that date. Beginning one year after that date, contracting parties applying import restrictions under this Article shall enter into consultations of the type provided for in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph with the CONTRACTING PARTIES annually.

　　(乙)缔约国全体应在其确定的某一日期，检查在那一日期按本条规定仍在实施的一切限制。从那一日期后一年开始，凡根据本条规定实施进口限制的缔约各国，应每年同缔约国全体进行本款(甲)项所规定的那种协商。

　　(c) (i) If, in the course of consultations with a contracting party under subparagraph (a) or (b) above, the CONTRACTING PARTIES find that the restrictions are not consistent with provisions of this Article or with those of Article XIII (subject to the provisions of Article XIV), they shall indicate the nature of the inconsistency and may advise that the restrictions be suitably modified.

　　(丙)(1)缔约国全体在根据上述(甲)项或(乙)项规定同一缔约国进行协商的过程中，如判定实施的限制与本条或本协定第十三条(受本协定第十四条的限制)的规定不符，它们应指出不符的性质，并可建议对限制作适当的修改。

　　(ii) If, however, as a result of the consultations, the CONTRACTING PARTIES determine that the restrictions are being applied in a manner involving an inconsistency of a serious nature with the provisions of this Article or with those of Article XIII (subject to the provisions of Article XIV) and that damage to the trade of any contracting party is caused or threatened thereby, they shall so inform the contracting party applying the restrictions and shall make appropriate recommendations for securing conformity with such provisions within the specified period of time. If such contracting party does not comply with these recommendations within the specified period, the CONTRACTING PARTIES may release any contracting party the trade of which is adversely affected by the restrictions from such obligations under this Agreement towards the contracting party applying the restrictions as they determine to be appropriate in the circumstances.

　　(2)但是，如缔约国全体经协商后认为，正在实施的限制严重地与本条或与本协定第十三条(受本协定第十四条的限制)的规定不符，认为它对另一缔约国的贸易造成损害或构成威胁，它们应将这一情况通知实施限制的缔约国，并应提出旨在使规定在一定限期内得到遵守的适当建议。如实施限制的缔约国在规定期限内不执行这些建议，缔约国全体在认为必要时，可以解除贸易受到不利影响的那个缔约国根据本协定对实施限制的缔约国所承担的义务。

　　(d) The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall invite any contracting party which is applying restrictions under this Article to enter into consultations with them at the request of any contracting party which can establish a prima facie case that the restrictions are inconsistent with the provisions of this Article or with those of Article XIII (subject to the provisions of Article XIV) and that its trade is adversely affected thereby. However, no such invitation shall be issued unless the CONTRACTING PARTIES have ascertained that direct discussions between the contracting parties concerned have not been successful. If, as a result of the consultations with the CONTRACTING PARTIES, no agreement is reached and they determine that the restrictions are being applied inconsistently with such provisions, and that damage to the trade of the contracting party initiating the procedure is caused or threatened thereby, they shall recommend the withdrawal or modification of the restrictions. If the restrictions are not withdrawn or modified within such time as the CONTRACTING PARTIES may prescribe, they may release the contracting party initiating the procedure from such obligations under this Agreement towards the contracting party applying the restrictions as they determine to be appropriate in the circumstances.

　　(丁)如一缔约国有理由认为另一缔约国按本条实施的限制与本条或本协定第十三条(受本协定第十四条的限制)的规定不符，并认为因此它的贸易受到不利的影响，经这一缔约国提出要求，缔约国全体应邀请实施限制的缔约国与其进行协商。缔约国全体应先查明，在这两个缔约国之间进行了直接讨论，未达成协议，才能发出这样的邀请。经与缔约国全体协商如果仍不能达成协议，而缔约国全体又认为正在实施与上述规定不符的限制，因而对提出这一程序的那个缔约国的贸易造成损害或构成威胁，则缔约国全体应建议撤销或修改这项限制。如在缔约国全体规定的限期内，并未撤销或修改这项限制，缔约国全体如果认为必要， 可以解除提出这一程序的那个缔约国根据本协定所承担的义务。

　　(e) In proceeding under this paragraph, the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall have due regard to any special external factors adversely affecting the export trade of the contracting party applying the restrictions.

　　(f) Determinations under this paragraph shall be rendered expeditiously and, if possible, within sixty days of the initiation of the consultations.

　　(戊)按本款规定办理时，缔约国全体应适当注意影响实施限制的缔约国的出口贸易的任何不利的外部特别因素。

　　(己)本款的决定，应尽快实施，如果可能，应在开始协商后60天内实施。

　　5. If there is a persistent and widespread application of import restrictions under this Article, indicating the existence of a general disequilibrium which is restricting international trade, the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall initiate discussions to consider whether other measures might be taken, either by those contracting parties the balance of payments of which are under pressure or by those the balance of payments of which are tending to be exceptionally favourable, or by any appropriate intergovernmental organization, to remove the underlying causes of the disequilibrium. On the invitation of the CONTRACTING PARTIES, contracting parties shall participate in such discussions.

　　5.如果须持久而广泛地维持按本条实施的进口限制，表明存在着普遍的不平衡限制着国际贸易的发展，则缔约国全体应召开会议来讨论是否可由国际收支遭受压力的缔约国，或由国际收支趋向非常有利的缔约国，或由适当的国际机构，采取其他办法以清除造成不平衡的内在因素。如缔约国全体发出这种邀请，缔约各国应参加这种讨论。

　　Article XIII: Non-discriminatory Administration of Quantitative Restrictions

　　第十三条 非歧视地实施数量限制

　　1. No prohibition or restriction shall be applied by any contracting party on the importation of any product of the territory of any other contracting party or on the exportation of any product destined for the territory of any other contracting party, unless the importation of the like product of all third countries or the exportation of the like product to all third countries is similarly prohibited or restricted.

　　1.除非对所有第三国的相同产品的输入或对相同产品向所有第三国的输出同样予以禁止或限制以外，任何缔约国不得限制或禁止另一缔约国领土的产品的输入，也不得禁止或限制产品向另一缔约国领土输出。

　　2. In applying import restrictions to any product, contracting parties shall aim at a distribution of trade in such product approaching as closely as possible the shares which the various contracting parties might be expected to obtain in the absence of such restrictions and to this end shall observe the following provisions:

　　(a) Wherever practicable, quotas representing the total amount of permitted imports (whether allocated among supplying countries or not) shall be fixed, and notice given of their amount in accordance with paragraph 3 (b) of this Article;

　　(b) In cases in which quotas are not practicable, the restrictions may be applied by means of import licences or permits without a quota;

　　(c) Contracting parties shall not, except for purposes of operating quotas allocated in accordance with subparagraph (d) of this paragraph, require that import licences or permits be utilized for the importation of the product concerned from a particular country or source;

　　2.缔约各国对任何产品实施进口限制时，应旨在使这种产品的贸易分配尽可能与如果没有这种限制时其他缔约各国预期可能得到的份额相接近;为此目地，缔约各国应遵守下列规定：

　　(甲)在可能时，应固定准许进口的配额(不论是否在供应国之间进行分配)，并应按本条第三款(乙)项的规定，公告其数额;

　　(乙)如不能采用配额办法，可采用无配额的进口许可证或进口凭证方式实施限制;

　　(丙)除为了按本款(丁)项分配配额以外，缔约各国不得只规定从某一特定国家或来源输入有关产品须用进口许可证或进口凭证。

　　(d) In cases in which a quota is allocated among supplying countries the contracting party applying the restrictions may seek agreement with respect to the allocation of shares in the quota with all other contracting parties having a substantial interest in supplying the product concerned. In cases in which this method is not reasonably practicable, the contracting party concerned shall allot to contracting parties having a substantial interest in supplying the product shares based upon the proportions, supplied by such contracting parties during a previous representative period, of the total quantity or value of imports of the product, due account being taken of any special factors which may have affected or may be affecting the trade in the product. No conditions or formalities shall be imposed which would prevent any contracting party from utilizing fully the share of any such total quantity or value which has been allotted to it, subject to importation being made within any prescribed period to which the quota may relate.

　　(丁)如果配额系在各供应国之间进行分配，实施限制的缔约国可谋求与供应有关产品有实质利害关系的所有缔约国就配额的分配达成协议。如果不能采用这种办法，在考虑了可能已经影响或正在影响有关产品的贸易的特殊因素的情况下，有关缔约国应根据前一代表时期供应产品的缔约国在这一产品进口总量或总值中所占的比例，将份额分配给与供应产品有实质利害关系的国家。除这一份额应予配额所定的限制内进口以外，有关缔约国不得设立任何条件或手续来阻碍任何其他缔约国充分利用其从这一总额或总值中所分得的份额。

　　3. (a) In cases in which import licences are issued in connection with import restrictions, the contracting party applying the restrictions shall provide, upon the request of any contracting party having an interest in the trade in the product concerned, all relevant information concerning the administration of the restrictions, the import licences granted over a recent period and the distribution of such licences among supplying countries; Provided that there shall be no obligation to supply information as to the names of importing or supplying enterprises.

　　3.(甲)在为实施进口限制签发进口许可证的情况下，如与某产品的贸易有利害关系的任何缔约国提出要求，实施限制的缔约国应提供关于限制的管理，最近期间签发的进口许可证及其在各供应国之间的分配情况的一切有关资料，但对进口商或供应商的名称，应不承担提供资料的义务。

　　(b) In the case of import restrictions involving the fixing of quotas, the contracting party applying the restrictions shall give public notice of the total quantity or value of the product or products which will be permitted to be imported during a specified future period and of any change in such quantity or value. Any supplies of the product in question which were en route at the time at which public notice was given shall not be excluded from entry; Provided that they may be counted so far as practicable, against the quantity permitted to be imported in the period in question, and also, where necessary, against the quantities permitted to be imported in the next following period or periods; and Provided further that if any contracting party customarily exempts from such restrictions products entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption during a period of thirty days after the day of such public notice, such practice shall be considered full compliance with this subparagraph.

　　(乙)在进口限制采用固定配额的情况下，实施限制的缔约国应公布今后某一特定时期内将要准许进口的产品总量或总值及其可能的变动。在公布时，有关产品的供应如果已在运输途中的，应不得拒绝其进口;但是，可将它尽可能计算在本期的准许进口的数量以内，必要时也可以计算在下一期或下几期的准许进口数量以内;另外，任何缔约国在对公告后30日内为消费而进口的或为消费而从货栈里提出的有关产品，如果按照惯例系免除这种限制，这种惯例应视为完全符合本款的规定。

　　(c) In the case of quotas allocated among supplying countries, the contracting party applying the restrictions shall promptly inform all other contracting parties having an interest in supplying the product concerned of the shares in the quota currently allocated, by quantity or value, to the various supplying countries and shall give public notice thereof.

　　(丙)当配额系在各供应国间进行分配的情况下，实施限制的缔约国应将最近根据数量或价值分配给各供应国的配额份额，迅速通知与供应产品有利害关系的所有其他缔约国，并应公告周知。

　　4. With regard to restrictions applied in accordance with paragraph 2 (d) of this Article or under paragraph 2 (c) of Article XI, the selection of a representative period for any product and the appraisal of any special factorsaffecting the trade in the product shall be made initially by the contracting party applying the restriction; Provided that such contracting party shall, upon the request of any other contracting party having a substantial interest in supplying that product or upon the request of the CONTRACTING PARTIES, consult promptly with the other contracting party or the CONTRACTING PARTIES regarding the need for an adjustment of the proportion determined or of the base period selected, or for the reappraisal of the special factors involved, or for the elimination of conditions, formalities or any other provisions established unilaterally relating to the allocation of an adequate quota or its unrestricted utilization.

　　4.关于按本条第二款(丁)项或本协定第十一条第二款(丙)项所实施的限制，应首先由实施限制的缔约国选择产品的有代表性时期和估计影响产品贸易的任何特殊因素;但是,在与供应这一产品有重大利害关系的任何缔约国或缔约国全体提出请求后，实施限制的缔约国应迅速与其他缔约国或缔约国全体协商，以断定有无必要调整已确定的比例或选定的基期，或重新估计有关的特殊因素，或取消单方面建立的与相应配额的分配或自由利用有关的那些条件、手续或其他规定。

　　5. The provisions of this Article shall apply to any tariff quota instituted or maintained by any contracting party, and, in so far as applicable, the principles of this Article shall also extend to export restrictions.

　　5.本条的规定应适用于任何缔约国建立或维持的关税配额，而且本条的原则应尽可能地适用于出口限制。

　　Article XIV: Exceptions to the Rule of Non-discrimination 第十四条 非歧视原则的例外

　　1. A contracting party which applies restrictions under Article XII or under Section B of Article XVIII may, in the application of such restrictions, deviate from the provisions of Article XIII in a manner having equivalent effect to restrictions on payments and transfers for current international transactions which that contracting party may at that time apply under Article VIII or XIV of the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund, or under analogous provisions of a special exchange agreement entered into pursuant to paragraph 6 of Article XV.

　　1.按照本协定第十二条或第十八条第二节实施限制的一缔约国，可以在实施限制时背离本协定第十三条的规定，但这种背离应与这一缔约国当时可能按照国际货币基金第八条或第十四条的规定，或按照根据本协定第十五条第六款签订的特别外汇协定的类似规定对现行国际交易的支付和转让所实施的限制所产生的影响相同。

　　2. A contracting party which is applying import restrictions under Article XII or under Section B of Article XVIII may, with the consent of the CONTRACTING PARTIES, temporarily deviate from the provisions of Article XIII in respect of a small part of its external trade where the benefits to the contracting party or contracting parties concerned substantially outweigh any injury which may result to the trade of other contracting parties.

　　2.经缔约国全体同意，按照本协定第十二条或第十八条第二节实施进口限制的一缔约国，可以使它的一小部分对外贸易暂时背离本协定第十三条的规定，如果这样做后，对有关的一个缔约国或几个缔约国造成的利益大大超过对其他缔约国贸易所造成的损害。

　　3. The provisions of Article XIII shall not preclude a group of territories having a common quota in the International Monetary Fund from applying against imports from other countries, but not among themselves, restrictions in accordance with the provisions of Article XII or of Section B of Article XVIII on condition that such restrictions are in all other respects consistent with the provisions of Article XIII.

　　4. A contracting party applying import restrictions under Article XII or under Section B of Article XVIII shall not be precluded by Articles XI to XV or Section B of Article XVIII of this Agreement from applying measures to direct its exports in such a manner as to increase its earnings of currencies which it can use without deviation from the provisions of Article XIII.

　　3.本协定第十三条的规定，并不阻止在国际货币基金中有共同配额的某些领土根据本协定第十二条或第十八条第二节的规定，限制来自其他国家的进口，而不限制它们相互间的进口，但这种限制必须在其他方面符合本协定第十三条的规定。

　　4.本协定第十一条至第十五条或本协定第十八条第二节的规定，并不阻止按照本协定第十二条或按照本协定第十八条第二节实施限制的一缔约国采取不违反本协定第十三条规定的措施以指导出口，增加外汇收入。

　　5. A contracting party shall not be precluded by Articles XI to XV, inclusive, or by Section B of Article XVIII, of this Agreement from applying quantitative restrictions:

　　(a) having equivalent effect to exchange restrictions authorized under Section 3 (b) of Article VII of the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund, or

　　(b) under the preferential arrangements provided for in Annex A of this Agreement, pending the outcome of the negotiations referred to therein.

　　5.本协定第十一条至第十五条或本协定第十八条第二节的规定，并不阻止一缔约国：

　　(甲)实施与国际货币基金协定第十七条允许实施的外汇限制有相同影响的数量限制，或

　　(乙)在本协定附件一所称的谈判取得结果以前，根据这一附件内所列的优惠安排而实施的数量限制。

　　Article XV: Exchange Arrangements 第十五条 外汇安排

　　1. The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall seek co-operation with the International Monetary Fund to the end that the CONTRACTING PARTIES and the Fund may pursue a co-ordinated policy with regard to exchange questions within the jurisdiction of the Fund and questions of quantitative restrictions and other trade measures within the jurisdiction of the CONTRACTING PARTIES.

　　1.缔约国全体应谋求与国际货币基金合作，以便缔约国全体与基金在基金所主管的外汇问题和缔约国全体所主管的数量限制或其他贸易措施方面，可以采取一种协调的政策。

　　2. In all cases in which the CONTRACTING PARTIES are called upon to consider or deal with problems concerning monetary reserves, balances of payments or foreign exchange arrangements, they shall consult fully with the International Monetary Fund. In such consultations, the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall accept all findings of statistical and other facts presented by the Fund relating to foreign exchange, monetary reserves and balances of payments, and shall accept the determination of the Fund as to whether action by a contracting party in exchange matters is in accordance with the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund, or with the terms of a special exchange agreement between that contracting party and the CONTRACTING PARTIES. The CONTRACTING PARTIES in reaching their final decision in cases involving the criteria set forth in paragraph 2 (a) of Article XII or in paragraph 9 of Article XVIII, shall accept the determination of the Fund as to what constitutes a serious decline in the contracting party’s monetary reserves, a very low level of its monetary reserves or a reasonable rate of increase in its monetary reserves, and as to the financial aspects of other matters covered in consultation in such cases.

　　2.缔约国全体如果被请求考虑或处理有关货币储备、国际收支或外汇安排的问题，它们应与国际货币基金进行充分的协商。缔约国全体在协商中应接受基金提供的有关外汇、货币储备或国际收支的一切统计或其他调查结果;关于一缔约国在外汇问题上采取的行动是否符合国际货币基金协定的条款，是否符合这一缔约国与缔约国全体之间所签订的外汇特别协定的条件，缔约国全体也应接受基金的判定，缔约国全体如需对涉及本协定第十二条第二款(甲)项或第十八条第九款所规定的标准的案件作出最后决定，对什么是一缔约国货币储备的严重下降，什么是一缔约国的货币储备很低，什么是一缔约国货币储备的合理增长，以及对协商中涉及的其他事项的财政问题，都应接受基金的判定。

　　3. The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall seek agreement with the Fund regarding procedures for consultation under paragraph 2 of this Article.

　　4. Contracting parties shall not, by exchange action, frustratethe intent of the provisions of this Agreement, nor, by trade action, the intent of the provisions of the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund.

　　5. If the CONTRACTING PARTIES consider, at any time, that exchange restrictions on payments and transfers in connection with imports are being applied by a contracting party in a manner inconsistent with the exceptions provided for in this Agreement for quantitative restrictions, they shall report thereon to the Fund.

　　3.缔约国全体应设法与基金就本条第二款所述协商的程序达成协议。

　　4.缔约各国不得以外汇方面的行动，来妨碍本协定各项规定的意图的实现，也不得以贸易方面的行动，妨碍国际货币基金协定各项规定的意图的实现。

　　5.如缔约国全体认为，某缔约国现行的有关进口货物的支付和转帐方面的外汇限制与本协定对数量限制所订的例外规定不符，则缔约国全体应将这一情况向基金报告。

　　6. Any contracting party which is not a member of the Fund shall, within a time to be determined by the CONTRACTING PARTIES after consultation with the Fund, become a member of the Fund, or, failing that, enter into a special exchange agreement with the CONTRACTING PARTIES. A contracting party which ceases to be a member of the Fund shall forthwith enter into a special exchange agreement with the CONTRACTING PARTIES. Any special exchange agreement entered into by a contracting party under this paragraph shall thereupon become part of its obligations under this Agreement.

　　6.凡不是国际货币基金成员国的缔约国，应在缔约国全体与基金商定的时限内，成为基金的成员国;如不能做到这一点，应与缔约国全体签订一个外汇特别协定。一缔约国如果退出国际货币基金，应立即与缔约国全体签订一个外汇特别协定。一缔约国根据本款与缔约国全体签订的外汇特别协定，应成为这一缔约国对本协定所承担的义务的组成部分。

　　7. (a) A special exchange agreement between a contracting party and the CONTRACTING PARTIES under paragraph 6 of this Article shall provide to the satisfaction of the CONTRACTING PARTIES that the objectives of this Agreement will not be frustrated as a result of action in exchange matters by the contracting party in question.

　　(b) The terms of any such agreement shall not impose obligations on the contracting party in exchange matters generally more restrictive than those imposed by the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund on members of the Fund.

　　7.(甲)一缔约国与缔约国全体根据本条第六款签订的外汇特别协定，须有使缔约国全体满意的下述规定：这一缔约国在外汇问题上采取的行动，将不妨碍本协定的宗旨的实现 。

　　(乙)任何外汇特别协定的条款要求缔约国在外汇问题上所承担的义务，一般应不严于国际货币基金协定的条款要求基金成员国所承担的义务。

　　8. A contracting party which is not a member of the Fund shall furnish such information within the general scope of section 5 of Article VIII of the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund as the CONTRACTING PARTIES may require in order to carry out their functions under this Agreement.

　　8.不是国际货币基金成员的缔约国应向缔约国全体提供其为执行本协定规定的任务而需要的国际货币基金协定第八条第五节范围内的一般资料。

　　9. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude: 9.本协定不妨碍：

　　(a) the use by a contracting party of exchange controls or exchange restrictions in accordance with the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund or with that contracting party’s special exchange agreement with the CONTRACTING PARTIES, or

　　(b) the use by a contracting party of restrictions or controls in imports or exports, the sole effect of which, additional to the effects permitted under Articles XI, XII, XIII and XIV, is to make effective such exchange controls or exchange restrictions.

　　(甲)缔约国实施与国际货币基金协定条款或与缔约国同缔约国全体签订的外汇特别协定条款相符的外汇管制或外汇限制，或

　　(乙)缔约国对输出入实施某种除了产生本协定第十一条、第十二条、第十三条和第十四条所允许的影响以外，只是使外汇管制或外汇限制更加有效地限制或管制。

　　Article XVI: Subsidies第十六条 贴补

　　Section A Subsidies in General 第一节 一般贴补

　　1. If any contracting party grants or maintains any subsidy, including any form of income or price support, which operates directly or indirectly to increase exports of any product from, or to reduce imports of any product into, its territory, it shall notify the CONTRACTING PARTIES in writing of the extent and nature of the subsidization, of the estimated effect of the subsidization on the quantity of the affected product or products imported into or exported from its territory and of the circumstances making the subsidization necessary. In any case in which it is determined that serious prejudice to the interests of any other contracting party is caused or threatened by any such subsidization, the contracting party granting the subsidy shall, upon request, discuss with the other contracting party or parties concerned, or with the CONTRACTING PARTIES, the possibility of limiting the subsidization.

　　1.任何缔约国如果给予或维持任何贴补，包括任何形式的收入支持或价格支持在内，以直接或间接增加从它的领土输出某种产品或减少向它的领土输入某种产品，它应将这项贴补的性质和范围、这项贴补对输出入的产品数量预计可能产生的影响以及使得这项贴补成为必要的各种情况，书面通知缔约国全体。如这项贴补经判定对另一缔约国的利益造成严重损害或产生严重威胁，给予贴补的缔约国，应在接到要求后与有关的其他缔约国或缔约国全体讨论限制这项贴补的可能性。

　　Section B Additional Provisions on Export Subsidies第二节 对出口贴补的附加规定

　　2. The contracting parties recognize that the granting by a contracting party of a subsidy on the export of any product may have harmful effects for other contracting parties, both importing and exporting, may cause undue disturbance to their normal commercial interests, and may hinder the achievement of the objectives of this Agreement.

　　2.缔约各国认为：一缔约国对某一出口产品给予贴补，可能对其他的进口和出口缔约 国造成有害的影响，对它们的正常贸易造成不适当的干扰，并阻碍本协定的目标的实现。

　　3. Accordingly, contracting parties should seek to avoid the use of subsidies on the export of primary products. If, however, a contracting party grants directly or indirectly any form of subsidy which operates to increase the export of any primary product from its territory, such subsidy shall not be applied in a manner which results in that contracting party having more than an equitable share of world export trade in that product, account being taken of the shares of the contracting parties in such trade in the product during a previous representative period, and any special factors which may have affected or may be affecting such trade in the product.

　　3.因此，缔约各国应力求避免对初级产品的输出实施贴补。但是，如一缔约国直接或间接给予某种贴补以求增加从它的领土输出某种初级产品，则这一缔约国在实施贴补时不应使它自己在这一产品的世界出口贸易中占有不合理的份额，适当注意前一有代表性时期缔约各国在这种产品的贸易中所占的份额及已经影响或可能正在影响这种产品的贸易的特殊因素 。

　　4. Further, as from 1 January 1958 or the earliest practicable date thereafter, contracting parties shall cease to grant either directly or indirectly any form of subsidy on the export of any product other than a primary product which subsidy results in the sale of such product for export at a price lower than the comparable price charged for the like product to buyers in the domestic market. Until 31 December 1957 no contracting party shall extend the scope of any such subsidization beyond that existing on 1 January 1955 by the introduction of new, or the extension of existing, subsidies.

　　4.另外，从1958年1月1日或其后可能的尽早的日期起，对初级产品以外的任何产品，缔约各国不应再直接或间接给予使这种产品的输出售价低于同样产品在国内市场出售时的可比价格的任何形式的贴补。在1957年12月31日以前，任何缔约国不得用实施新的贴补或扩大现有贴补的办法，使前述贴补超出1955年1月1日所实施的范围。

　　5. The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall review the operation of the provisions of this Article from time to time with a view to examining its effectiveness, in the light of actual experience, in promoting the objectives of this Agreement and avoiding subsidization seriously prejudicial to the trade or interests of contracting parties.

　　5.缔约各国应根据实际的经验随时检查本条规定的执行情况，以了解本条规定在促进本协定目标的实现以及避免贴补对缔约各国的贸易或利益造成严重损害方面是否有效。

　　Article XVII: State Trading Enterprises 第十七条 国营贸易企业

　　1.(a) Each contracting party undertakes that if it establishes or maintains a State enterprise, wherever located, or grants to any enterprise, formally or in effect, exclusive or special privileges,such enterprise shall, in its purchases or sales involving either imports or exports, act in a manner consistent with the general principles of non-discriminatory treatment prescribed in this Agreement for governmental measures affecting imports or exports by private traders.

　　1.(甲)缔约各国保证：当它建立或维持一个国营企业(不论位于何处)，或对一个企业正式或事实上给予独占权或特权时，这种企业在其有关进口或出口的购买和销售方面的行为，应符合本协定中关于影响私商进出口货物的政府措施所规定的非歧视待遇的一般原则 。

　　(b) The provisions of subparagraph (a) of this paragraph shall be understood to require that such enterprises shall, having due regard to the other provisions of this Agreement, make any such purchases or sales solely in accordance with commercial considerations,including price, quality, availability, marketability, transportation and other conditions of purchase or sale, and shall afford the enterprises of the other contracting parties adequate opportunity, in accordance with customary business practice, to compete for participation in such purchases or sales.

　　(乙)本款(甲)项的规定应理解为要求国营企业，在购买或销售时除适当注意本协定的其他规定外，应只以商业上的考虑(包括价格、质量、资源多少、推销难易、运输和其他购销条件)作为根据，并按照商业上的惯例为其他缔约国的国营企业参与这种购买或销售提供充分的竞争机会。

　　(c) No contracting party shall prevent any enterprise (whether or not an enterprise described in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph) under its jurisdiction from acting in accordance with the principles of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph.

　　(丙)一缔约国不得阻止其所管辖下的企业(不论是否本款(甲)项所述企业)实施本款(甲)项和(乙)项规定的原则。

　　2. The provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article shall not apply to imports of products for immediate or ultimate consumption in governmental use and not otherwise for resale or use in the production of goods for sale. With respect to such imports, each contracting party shall accord to the trade of the other contracting parties fair and equitable treatment.

　　3. The contracting parties recognize that enterprises of the kind described in paragraph 1 (a) of this Article might be operated so as to create serious obstacles to trade; thus negotiations on a reciprocal and mutually advantageous basis designed to limit or reduce such obstacles are of importance to the expansion of international trade.

　　2.本条第一款的规定不适用于政府为目前或今后公用非为出售或生产供销售的商品而进口的产品。每一缔约国应对其他缔约国输入货物的贸易给予公平合理的待遇。

　　3.缔约各国认为，本条第一款(甲)项所述的企业活动有可能对贸易造成严重损害，因此，在互惠互利的基础上进行谈判以限制或减少这种损害，对国际贸易的扩展是重要的。

　　4. (a) Contracting parties shall notify the CONTRACTING PARTIES of the products which are imported into or exported from their territories by enterprises of the kind described in paragraph 1 (a) of this Article.

　　(b) A contracting party establishing, maintaining or authorizing an import monopoly of a product, which is not the subject of a concession under Article II, shall, on the request of another contracting party having a substantial trade in the product concerned, inform the CONTRACTING PARTIES of the import mark-upon the product during a recent representative period, or, when it is not possible to do so, of the price charged on the resale of the product.

　　(c) The CONTRACTING PARTIES may, at the request of a contracting party which has reason to believe that its interest under this Agreement are being adversely affected by the operations of an enterprise of the kind described in paragraph 1 (a), request the contracting party establishing, maintaining or authorizing such enterprise to supply information about its operations related to the carrying out of the provisions of this Agreement.

　　4.(甲)缔约各国应将本条第一款(甲)项所述企业输入到它们的领土或从它们的领土输出的产品通知缔约国全体。

　　(乙)缔约国如果对本协定第二条减让范围以外的某一产品建立、维持或授权实施进口垄断，在对这一产品有大量贸易的另一缔约国提出请求后，它应将最近有代表性时期内产品的进口加价，或者(如不能办到的话)将产品的转售价格，通知缔约国全体。

　　(丙)当一缔约国有理由认为，它按本协定可享受的利益由于本款(甲)项所述企业的活动正在受到损害，它可以向缔约国全体提出请求，缔约国全体可以据此要求建立、维持或授权建立这种企业的那个缔约国，就其执行本协定的情况提供资料。

　　(d) The provisions of this paragraph shall not require any contracting party to disclose confidential information which would impede law enforcement or otherwise be contrary to the public interest or would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of particular enterprises.

　　(丁)本款不要求缔约国公布那些妨碍法令贯彻执行或在其他方面有损于公共利益或对某些具体企业正当商业利益会造成损害的机密资料。

　　Article XVIII: Governmental Assistance to Economic Development

　　第十八条 政府对经济发展的援助

　　1. The contracting parties recognize that the attainment of the objectives of this Agreement will be facilitated by the progressive development of their economies, particularly of those contracting parties the economies of which can only support low standards of living and are in the early stages of development.

　　1.缔约各国认为：缔约各国，特别是那些只能维持低生活水平处在发展初期阶段的缔约国的经济的逐步增长，将有助于实现本协定的宗旨。

　　2. The contracting parties recognize further that it may be necessary for those contracting parties, in order to implement programmes and policies of economic development designed to raise the general standard of living of their people, to take protective or other measures affecting imports, and that such measures are justified in so far as they facilitate the attainment of the objectives of this Agreement. They agree, therefore, that those contracting parties should enjoy additional facilities to enable them (a) to maintain sufficient flexibility in their tariff structure to be able to grant the tariff protection required for the establishment of a particular industry and (b) to apply quantitative restrictions for balance of payments purposes in a manner which takes full account of the continued high level of demand for imports likely to be generated by their programmes of economic development.

　　2.缔约各国还认为：为了实施目的在于提高人民一般生活水平的经济发展计划和政策,这些缔约国可能有必要采取影响进口的保护措施或其他措施，而且，只要这些措施有助于实现本协定的宗旨，它们就有存在的理由。因此，缔约各国同意，这些缔约国应该享受额外的便利，使它们(甲)在关税结构方面能够保持足够的弹性，从而为某一特定工业的建立提供需要的关税保护;(乙)在充分考虑它们的经济发展计划可能造成的持续高水平的进口需求的条件下，能够为国际收支目的而实施数量限制。

　　3. The contracting parties recognize finally that, with those additional facilities which are provided for in Sections A and B of this Article, the provisions of this Agreement would normally be sufficient to enable contracting parties to meet the requirements of their economic development. They agree, however, that there may be circumstances where no measure consistent with those provisions is practicable to permit a contracting party in the process of economic development to grant the governmental assistance required to promote the establishment of particular industrieswith a view to raising the general standard of living of its people. Special procedures are laid down in Sections C and D of this Article to deal with those cases.

　　3.最后，缔约各国认为：有了本条第一节和第二节规定的额外便利，本协定的规定在正常情况下将能足够满足缔约各国的经济发展的需要。但是，缔约各国同意，可能有一些找不到符合上述规定措施的情况，在这种情况下，一个经济处在发展阶段的缔约国政府，就不能为了提高人民生活的一般水平，而对某些特定工业的加速建立提供必需的援助。为了处理这些情况，本条第三节和第四节规定了特别程序。

　　4. (a) Consequently, a contracting party, the economy of which can only support low standards of livingand is in the early stages of development,shall be free to deviate temporarily from the provisions of the other Articles of this Agreement, as provided in Sections A, B and C of this Article.

　　(b) A contracting party, the economy of which is in the process of development, but which does not come within the scope of subparagraph (a) above, may submit applications to the CONTRACTING PARTIES under Section D of this Article.

　　4.(甲)因此，凡是只能维持低生活水平经济处在发展初期阶段的缔约国，有权按本条第一节、第二节和第三节暂时背离本协定其他各条的规定。

　　(乙)凡是经济处在发展阶段，但又不属于上述(甲)项规定范围的缔约国，可以根据本条第四节的规定向缔约国全体提出申请。

　　5. The contracting parties recognize that the export earnings of contracting parties, the economies of which are of the type described in paragraph 4 (a) and (b) above and which depend on exports of a small number of primary commodities, may be seriously reduced by a decline in the sale of such commodities. Accordingly, when the exports of primary commodities by such a contracting party are seriously affected by measures taken by another contracting party, it may have resort to the consultation provisions of Article XXII of this Agreement.

　　6. The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall review annually all measures applied pursuant to the provisions of Sections C and D of this Article.

　　5.缔约各国认为，经济属于上面第四款(甲)项和(乙)项所述类型并依赖少数初级产品出口的缔约国的出口收入，会因这些产品销售的下降而严重减少。因此，当这种缔约国的初级产品的出口受到另一缔约国所采取的措施的严重影响时，它可以引用本协定第二十二条规定的协商程序。

　　6.缔约国全体应每年检查按本条第三节和第四节而实施的一切措施。

　　Section A第一节

　　7. (a) If a contracting party coming within the scope of paragraph 4 (a) of this Article considers it desirable, in order to promote the establishment of a particular industry with a view to raising the general standard of living of its people, to modify or withdraw a concession included in the appropriate Schedule annexed to this Agreement, it shall notify the CONTRACTING PARTIES to this effect and enter into negotiations with any contracting party with which such concession was initially negotiated, and with any other contracting party determined by the CONTRACTING PARTIES to have a substantial interest therein. If agreement is reached between such contracting parties concerned, they shall be free to modify or withdraw concessions under the appropriate Schedules to this Agreement in order to give effect to such agreement, including any compensatory adjustments involved.

　　7.(甲)如果本条第四款(甲)项规定范围内的一缔约国为了加速某一特定工业的建立以提高人民的一般生活水平，认为有必要修改或撤销本协定有关减让表中所列的某项减让,它应将上述情况通知缔约国全体，并应与原来跟它谈判减让的任何缔约国和缔约国全体认为对此有实质利害关系的任何其他缔约国进行谈判。如在这些有关的缔约国之间能够达成协议，这些缔约国为了能将达成的协议付诸实施，应有权对本协定有关减让表中所列的减让，包括有关的补偿性调整在内，加以修改或撤销。

　　(b) If agreement is not reached within sixty days after the notification provided for in subparagraph (a) above, the contracting party which proposes to modify or withdraw the concession may refer the matter to the CONTRACTING PARTIES which shall promptly examine it. If they find that the contracting party which proposes to modify or withdraw the concession has made every effort to reach an agreement and that the compensatory adjustment offered by it is adequate, that contracting party shall be free to modify or withdraw the concession if, at the same time, it gives effect to the compensatory adjustment. If the CONTRACTING PARTIES do not find that the compensation offered by a contracting party proposing to modify or withdraw the concession is adequate, but find that it has made every reasonable effort to offer adequate compensation, that contracting party shall be free to proceed with such modification or withdrawal. If such action is taken, any other contracting party referred to in subparagraph (a) above shall be free to modify or withdraw substantially equivalent concessions initially negotiated with the contracting party which has taken the action.

　　(乙)如在上述(甲)项规定的通知发出以后60天内不能达成协议，则建议修改或撤销减让的缔约国可将这个问题提交缔约国全体，缔约国全体应迅速加以研究。如缔约国全体认为建议修改或撤销减让的缔约国为了达成协议已尽了一切努力，而且它所提供的补偿性调整也是适当的，则这一缔约国，只要它同时准备将补偿性调整付诸实施，可以修改或撤销减让。如缔约各国全体认为，建议修改或撤销减让的缔约国所提供的补偿性调整是不适当的，但它已为提供适当的补偿作了一切合理的努力，则这一缔约国可以继续这种修改或撤销。它如果采取这项行动，上述(甲)项规定中所述的任何其他缔约国，可以对原与它谈判达成的减让，作基本上相等的修改或撤销。

　　Section B 第二节

　　8. The contracting parties recognize that contracting parties coming within the scope of paragraph 4 (a) of this Article tend, when they are in rapid process of development, to experience balance of payments difficulties arising mainly from efforts to expand their internal markets as well as from the instability in their terms of trade.

　　8.缔约各国认为，本条第四款(甲)项规定范围内的缔约国，在它们的经济迅速发展的过程中，主要由于努力扩大国内市场和由于贸易条件的不稳定，往往会面临国际收支的困难。

　　9. In order to safeguard its external financial position and to ensure a level of reserves adequate for the implementation of its programme of economic development, a contracting party coming within the scope of paragraph 4 (a) of this Article may, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 10 to 12, control the general level of its imports by restricting the quantity or value of merchandise permitted to be imported; Provided that the import restrictions instituted, maintained or intensified shall not exceed those necessary:

　　(a) to forestall the threat of, or to stop, a serious decline in its monetary reserves, or

　　(b) in the case of a contracting party with inadequate monetary reserves, to achieve a reasonable rate of increase in its reserves.

　　Due regard shall be paid in either case to any special factors which may be affecting the reserves of the contracting party or its need for reserves, including, where special external credits or other resources are available to it, the need to provide for the appropriate use of such credits or resources.

　　9.为了保护对外金融地位和保证有一定水平的储备以满足实施经济发展计划的需要，本条第四款(甲)项规定范围内的一缔约国可以在本条第十款到第十二款规定的限制下，采取限制准许进口的商品的数量或价值的办法来控制它的进口的一般水平;但是，所建立、维持或加强的进口限制不得超过：

　　(甲)为了预防货币储备严重下降的威胁或制止货币储备下降所必需的程度，或者

　　(乙)货币储备不足的缔约国，为了使货币储备能够合理增长所必需的程度。

　　在这两种情况下，对可能正在影响这一缔约国的储备或其对储备需要的任何特殊因素，包括在能够得到特别的国外信贷或其他资源的情况下安排适当使用这种信贷或资源的需要，都应加以适当的考虑。

　　10. In applying these restrictions, the contracting party may determine their incidence on imports of different products or classes of products in such a way as to give priority to the importation of those products which are more essential in the light of its policy of economic development; Provided that the restrictions are so applied as to avoid unnecessary damage to the commercial or economic interests of any other contracting party and not to prevent unreasonably the importation of any description of goods in minimum commercial quantities the exclusion of which would impair regular channels of trade; and Provided further that the restrictions are not so applied as to prevent the importation of commercial samples or to prevent compliance with patent, trade mark, copyright or similar procedures.

　　10.缔约国在实施上述进口限制时，可以对不同进口产品或不同进口产品的不同类别确定不同的限制方式，以便根据其经济发展政策优先进口比较必需的产品;但是，实施的限制应避免对任何其他缔约国的贸易或经济利益造成不必要的损害;不应无理地阻碍任何商品的最低贸易数量的输入;完全禁止其输入即会损害正常贸易渠道，也不应阻碍商业货样的输入及专利权、商标、版权或类似程序的遵守。

　　11. In carrying out its domestic policies, the contracting party concerned shall pay due regard to the need for restoring equilibrium in its balance of payments on a sound and lasting basis and to the desirability of assuring an economic employment of productive resources. It shall progressively relax any restrictions applied under this Section as conditions improve, maintaining them only to the extent necessary under the terms of paragraph 9 of this Article and shall eliminate them when conditions no longer justify such maintenance; Provided that no contracting party shall be required to withdraw or modify restrictions on the ground that a change in its development policy would render unnecessary the restrictions which it is applying under this Section.

　　11.有关缔约国在执行国内政策时，应适当注意使自己的国际收支在健全而持久的基础上恢复平衡的必要性以及保证生产资源的经济使用的好处。如情况改善，有关缔约国应逐步放宽按本节规定而实施的限制，他们所维持的限制应以本条第九款规定的条件使他们有必要实施为限。当情况改变已无必要维持这些限制时，应立即予以取消。但是，不得以它的发展政策的改变会使按本节实施的限制成为不必要为理由，而要求一缔约国撤销或修改这种限制。

　　12. (a) Any contracting party applying new restrictions or raising the general level of its existing restrictions by a substantial intensification of the measures applied under this Section, shall immediately after instituting or intensifying such restrictions (or, in circumstances in which prior consultation is practicable, before doing so) consult with the CONTRACTING PARTIES as to the nature of its balance of payments difficulties, alternative corrective measures which may be available, and the possible effect of the restrictions on the economies of other contracting parties.

　　12.(甲)建立新的限制，或者大幅度加强按本节实施的措施因而提高现行限制一般水平的任何缔约国，应于建立或加强限制后(如能事前协商则应于建立或加强前)立即与缔约国全体就自己国际收支困难的性质，可能采取的其他补救办法，以及这些限制对其他缔约国的经济可能造成的影响，进行协商。

　　(b) On a date to be determined by them the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall review all restrictions still applied under this Section on that date. Beginning two years after that date, contracting parties applying restrictions under this Section shall enter into consultations of the type provided for in subparagraph (a) above with the CONTRACTING PARTIES at intervals of approximately, but not less than, two years according to a programme to be drawn up each year by the CONTRACTING PARTIES; Provided that no consultation under this subparagraph shall take place within two years after the conclusion of a consultation of a general nature under any other provision of this paragraph.

　　(乙)缔约国全体应在其确定的某一日期，检查在那一日期按本节规定仍在实施的一切限制。从那一日期后两年开始，凡按本节规定实施进口限制的缔约国应约每隔两年(但不短于两年)，按缔约国全体每年拟订的计划，同缔约国全体进行上面(甲)项规定的那种协商。但是，在按本款其他规定进行的一般性协商结束还不到两年的时期内，本项规定的协商不应进行。

　　(c) (i) If, in the course of consultations with a contracting party under subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph, the CONTRACTING PARTIES find that the restrictions are not consistent with the provisions of this Section or with those of Article XIII (subject to the provisions of Article XIV), they shall indicate the nature of the inconsistency and may advise that the restrictions be suitably modified.

　　(丙)(1)缔约国全体在按本款(甲)项或(乙)项同一缔约国进行协商的过程中，如判定实施的限制与本节或本协定第八条(受本协定第十四条的限制)的规定不符，它们应指出不符的性质，并可建议对限制作适当的修改。

　　(ii) If, however, as a result of the consultations, the CONTRACTING PARTIES determine that the restrictions are being applied in a manner involving an inconsistency of a serious nature with the provisions of this Section or with those of Article XIII (subject to the provisions of Article XIV) and that damage to the trade of any contracting party is caused or threatened thereby, they shall so inform the contracting party applying the restrictions and shall make appropriate recommendations for securing conformity with such provisions within a specified period. If such contracting party does not comply with these recommendations within the specified period, the CONTRACTING PARTIES may release any contracting party the trade of which is adversely affected by the restrictions from such obligations under this Agreement towards the contracting party applying the restrictions as they determine to be appropriate in the circumstances.

　　(2)但是，如缔约国全体经协商后认为正在实施的限制严重地与本节或与本协定第十三条(受本协定第十四条的限制)的规定不符，认为它对另一缔约国的贸易造成损害或构成威胁，它们应将这一情况通知实施限制的缔约国，并应提出适当的建议以保证这些规定在一定限期内能得到遵守。如实施限制的缔约国在规定限期内不执行这些建议，缔约国全体在认为必要时，可以解除贸易受到不利影响的那个缔约国根据本协定对实施限制的缔约国所承担的义务。

　　(d) The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall invite any contracting party which is applying restrictions under this Section to enter into consultations with them at the request of any contracting party which can establish a prima facie case that the restrictions are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section or with those of Article XIII (subject to the provisions of Article XIV) and that its trade is adversely affected thereby. However, no such invitation shall be issued unless the CONTRACTING PARTIES have ascertained that direct discussions between the contracting parties concerned have not been successful. If, as a result of the consultations with the CONTRACTING PARTIES no agreement is reached and they determine that the restrictions are being applied inconsistently with such provisions, and that damage to the trade of the contracting party initiating the procedure is caused or threatened thereby, they shall recommend the withdrawal or modification of the restrictions. If the restrictions are not withdrawn or modified within such time as the CONTRACTING PARTIES may prescribe, they may release the contracting party initiating the procedure from such obligations under this Agreement towards the contracting party applying the restrictions as they determine to be appropriate in the circumstances.

　　(丁)如一缔约国有理由认为，另一缔约国按本节而实施的限制系与本节或本协定第十三条(受本协定第十四条的限制)的规定不符，并认为因此它的贸易受到不利的影响，它可以提出要求，请缔约国全体邀请实施限制的缔约国与缔约国全体进行协商。缔约国全体应先查明在这两个有关的缔约国之间进行了直接讨论，未能达成协议，才能发出这样的邀请。经与缔约国全体协商，如果仍不能达成协议，而缔约国全体又认为正在实施与上述规定不符的限制，因而对提出这一程序的那个缔约国的贸易造成损害或构成威胁，则缔约国全体应建议撤销或修改这项限制。如在缔约国全体规定的限制内，这项限制并未撤销或修改，缔约国全体如果认为有必要，可以解除提出这一程序的缔约国按本协定对实施限制的缔约国所承担的义务。

　　(e) If a contracting party against which action has been taken in accordance with the last sentence of subparagraph (c) (ii) or (d) of this paragraph, finds that the release of obligations authorized by the CONTRACTING PARTIES adversely affects the operation of its programme and policy of economic development, it shall be free, not later than sixty days after such action is taken, to give written notice to the Executive Secretary(2) to the Contracting Parties of its intention to withdraw from this Agreement and such withdrawal shall take effect on the sixtieth day following the day on which the notice is received by him.

　　(戊)在按本款(丙)(2)项末句按本款(丁)项的规定对一缔约国采取行动后，这一缔约国如果认为：缔约国全体批准的义务解除对它的经济发展计划和政策的实施发生有害的影响，则这一缔约国在不迟于采取这项行动以后的60天内，可以将退出本协定的意图用书面通知缔约国全体执行秘书长，自秘书长收到书面通知以后第60天起，此项退出开始生效。

　　(f) In proceeding under this paragraph, the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall have due regard to the factors referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article. Determinations under this paragraph shall be rendered expeditiously and, if possible, within sixty days of the initiation of the consultations.

　　(己)在按本款规定办理时，缔约国全体应适当注意本条第二款所述因素。按本款作出的决定应尽速作出，如果可能，应在开始协商后的60天内作出。

　　Section C第三节

　　13. If a contracting party coming within the scope of paragraph 4 (a) of this Article finds that governmental assistance is required to promote the establishment of a particular industry with a view to raising the general standard of living of its people, but that no measure consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement is practicable to achieve that objective, it may have recourse to the provisions and procedures set out in this Section.

　　13.本条第四款(甲)项规定范围内的一缔约国如果发现：为了提高人民的一般生活水平，有必要对某一特定工业的加速建立提供政府援助，但是采取符合本协定其他规定的措施却无法达到这一目的，则这一缔约国可以引用本节的条款和程序。

　　14. The contracting party concerned shall notify the CONTRACTING PARTIES of the special difficulties which it meets in the achievement of the objective outlined in paragraph 13 of this Article and shall indicate the specific measure affecting imports which it proposes to introduce in order to remedy these difficulties. It shall not introduce that measure before the expiration of the time-limit laid down in paragraph 15 or 17, as the case may be, or if the measure affects imports of a product which is the subject of a concession included in the appropriate Schedule annexed to this Agreement, unless it has secured the concurrence of the CONTRACTING PARTIES in accordance with provisions of paragraph 18; Provided that, if the industry receiving assistance has already started production, the contracting party may, after informing the CONTRACTING PARTIES, take such measures as may be necessary to prevent, during that period, imports of the product or products concerned from increasing substantially above a normal level.

　　14.有关缔约国应将它为实现本条第十三款所述目标而面临的特殊困难，通知缔约国全体，并应说明准备采取什么影响进口的措施以克服这些困难。在本条第十五款或第十七款规定的时期分别满期以前，有关缔约国不得采用这种措施;或者，如采取的措施影响本协定有关减让表所列减让对象的产品的进口，除按本条第十八款得到缔约国全体同意以外，有关缔约国也不得采用这种措施。但如接受援助的工业已经开始生产，则有关缔约国于通知缔约国全体后，可以采取必要的措施以防止在这一段时期内有关产品的进口大大超过正常水平。

　　15. If, within thirty days of the notification of the measure, the CONTRACTING PARTIES do not request the contracting party concerned to consult with them, that contracting party shall be free to deviate from the relevant provisions of the other Articles of this Agreement to the extent necessary to apply the proposed measure.

　　15.如缔约国全体在得到拟采取的措施通知后30天内尚未要求有关缔约国与它进行协商，则这一缔约国在实施所提措施的必要程度内，可以背离本协定其他各条的有关规定。

　　16. If it is requested by the CONTRACTING PARTIES to do so, the contracting party concerned shall consult with them as to the purpose of the proposed measure, as to alternative measures which may be available under this Agreement, and as to the possible effect of the measure proposed on the commercial and economic interests of other contracting parties. If, as a result of such consultation, the CONTRACTING PARTIES agree that there is no measure consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement which is practicable in order to achieve the objective outlined in paragraph 13 of this Article, and concur in the proposed measure, the contracting party concerned shall be released from its obligations under the relevant provisions of the other Articles of this Agreement to the extent necessary to apply that measure.

　　16.如果缔约国全体提出要求，有关缔约国应与缔约国全体协商所提措施的目的，可能采取的本协定许可的其他补救办法以及所提措施可能对其他缔约国的商业或经济利益产生的影响。如果协商的结果使缔约国全体也认为，为了实现本条第十三款所列目标，本协定其他规定许可采取的措施都是不切实际的，并对有关缔约国所提的措施表示同意，则有关缔约国在实施这些措施所必需的程度内应解除本协定其他各条所规定的有关义务。

　　17. If, within ninety days after the date of the notification of the proposed measure under paragraph 14 of this Article, the CONTRACTING PARTIES have not concurred in such measure, the contracting party concerned may introduce the measure proposed after informing the CONTRACTING PARTIES.

　　17.按本条第十四款提出的措施通知缔约国全体以后，缔约国全体若在90天内尚未表示同意，有关缔约国于报告缔约国全体后可以采用这一措施。

　　18. If the proposed measure affects a product which is the subject of a concession included in the appropriate Schedule annexed to this Agreement, the contracting party concerned shall enter into consultations with any other contracting party with which the concession was initially negotiated, and with any other contracting party determined by the CONTRACTING PARTIES to have a substantial interest therein. The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall concur in the measure if they agree that there is no measure consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement which is practicable in order to achieve the objective set forth in paragraph 13 of this Article, and if they are satisfied:

　　(a) that agreement has been reached with such other contracting parties as a result of the consultations referred to above, or

　　(b) if no such agreement has been reached within sixty days after the notification provided for in paragraph 14 has been received by the CONTRACTING PARTIES, that the contracting party having recourse to this Section has made all reasonable efforts to reach an agreement and that the interests of other contracting parties are adequately safeguarded.

　　The contracting party having recourse to this Section shall thereupon be released from its obligations under the relevant provisions of the other Articles of this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit it to apply the measure.

　　18.如果所提的措施影响本协定有关减让表所列减让对象的产品，有关缔约国应与原谈判这一减让的任何其他缔约国以及缔约国全体认为与此有实质利害关系的任何其他缔约国进行协商。如果缔约国全体也认为，为了实现本条第十三款规定的目标，本协定其他规定许可采取的措施都是不切实际的，并且缔约国全体查明：

　　(甲)有关缔约国与其他缔约国进行上述协商已经达成协议，或者

　　(乙)如果在缔约国全体接到通知以后60天内尚未达成协议，引用本节规定的缔约国为了达成协议已经作了一切努力，并且其他缔约国的利益也已经受到适当的保护，则缔约国全体应同意提出的措施。引用本节规定的缔约国在实施措施所必需的程度内，应因此解除本协定其他各条的有关义务。

　　19. If a proposed measure of the type described in paragraph 13 of this Article concerns an industry the establishment of which has in the initial period been facilitated by incidental protection afforded by restrictions imposed by the contracting party concerned for balance of payments purposes under the relevant provisions of this Agreement, that contracting party may resort to the provisions and procedures of this Section; Provided that it shall not apply the proposed measure without the concurrenceof the CONTRACTING PARTIES.

　　19.本条第十三款所述的那种拟采取的措施，如果所涉及的工业，在建立初期由于有关缔约国因国际收支的理由根据本协定有关规定实施限制产生的间接影响而得到加速，则这一缔约国可以引用本节的规定和程序;但未经缔约国全体同意，这项拟采取的措施不得加以实施。

　　20. Nothing in the preceding paragraphs of this Section shall authorize any deviation from the provisions of Articles I, II and XIII of this Agreement. The provisos to paragraph 10 of this Article shall also be applicable to any restriction under this Section.

　　21. At any time while a measure is being applied under paragraph 17 of this Article any contracting party substantially affected by it may suspend the application to the trade of the contracting party having recourse to this Section of such substantially equivalent concessions or other obligations under this Agreement the suspension of which the CONTRACTING PARTIES do not disapprove; Provided that sixty days’ notice of such suspension is given to the CONTRACTING PARTIES not later than six months after the measure has been introduced or changed substantially to the detriment of the contracting party affected. Any such contracting party shall afford adequate opportunity for consultation in accordance with the provisions of Article XXII of this Agreement.

　　20.本节前述各款并非授权可以对本协定第一条、第二条和第八条的规定有任何偏离。本条第十款的但书也适用于根据本节而采取的任何限制。

　　21.当按本条第十七款的规定实施一种措施时，凡因此受到实质影响的任何缔约国，可以对引用本节规定的缔约国的贸易，暂停实施本协定规定的那些大体上对等的减让或其他义务，如果缔约国全体对此不表示异议的话;但是，在采用或实质改变使缔约国遭受损害的措施后的六个月内，应向缔约国全体发出此项暂停的60天预先通知书。任一这类缔约国应按本协定第二十二条的规定提供充分的协商机会。

　　Section D 第四节

　　22. A contracting party coming within the scope of subparagraph 4 (b) of this Article desiring, in the interest of the development of its economy, to introduce a measure of the type described in paragraph 13 of this Article in respect of the establishment of a particular industry may apply to the CONTRACTING PARTIES for approval of such measure. The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall promptly consult with such contracting party and shall, in making their decision, be guided by the considerations set out in paragraph 16. If the CONTRACTING PARTIES concur in the proposed measure the contracting party concerned shall be released from its obligations under the relevant provisions of the other Articles of this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit it to apply the measure. If the proposed measure affects a product which is the subject of a concession included in the appropriate Schedule annexed to this Agreement, the provisions of paragraph 18 shall apply.

　　22.本条第四款(乙)项规定范围内的一缔约国为了发展它的经济，拟对某特定工业的建立采用本条第十三款所述的那种措施时，可以申请缔约国全体批准实施这项措施。缔约国全体应立即与申请的缔约国协商，并应以本条第十六款所列因素为指导作出它的决定。如缔约国全体同意提出的措施，则应在能够实施措施的必要程度内，解除有关缔约国根据本协定其他各条的有关规定所承担的义务。如提出的措施所影响的产品是本协定有关减让表所列减让的对象，则本条第十八款的规定应予适用。

　　23. Any measure applied under this Section shall comply with the provisions of paragraph 20 of this Article.

　　23.按本节而实施的任何措施，应符合本条第二十款的规定。

　　Article XIX: Emergency Action on Imports of Particular Products

　　第十九条 对某些产品的进口的紧急措施

　　1. (a) If, as a result of unforeseen developments and of the effect of the obligations incurred by a contracting party under this Agreement, including tariff concessions, any product is being imported into the territory of that contracting party in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten serious injury to domestic producers in that territory of like or directly competitive products, the contracting party shall be free, in respect of such product, and to the extent and for such time as may be necessary to prevent or remedy such injury, to suspend the obligation in whole or in part or to withdraw or modify the concession.

　　1.(甲)如因意外情况的发展或因一缔约国承担本协定义务(包括关税减让在内)而产生的影响，使某一产品输入到这一缔约国领土的数量大为增加，对这一领土内相同产品或与它直接竞争产品的国内生产者造成严重损害或产生严重的威胁时，这一缔约国在防止或纠正这种损害所必需的程度和时间内，可以对上述产品全部或部分地暂停实施其所承担的义务，或者撤销或修改减让。

　　(b) If any product, which is the subject of a concession with respect to a preference, is being imported into the territory of a contracting party in the circumstances set forth in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, so as to cause or threaten serious injury to domestic producers of like or directly competitive products in the territory of a contracting party which receives or received such preference, the importing contracting party shall be free, if that other contracting party so requests, to suspend the relevant obligation in whole or in part or to withdraw or modify the concession in respect of the product, to the extent and for such time as may be necessary to prevent or remedy such injury.

　　(乙)属于优惠减让对象的某一产品，如在本款(甲)项所述情形下输入到一缔约国领土，并因此对目前或过去享受这种优惠的另一缔约国领土内的相同产品或与它直接竞争的产品的国内生产者造成严重损害或产生严重威胁时，经这一另缔约国提出请求后，输入这种产品的缔约国可以在防止或纠正这种损害所必需的程度和时间内，全部或部分地对这种产品暂停实施所承担的有关减让，或者撤销或修改减让。

　　2. Before any contracting party shall take action pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article, it shall give notice in writing to the CONTRACTING PARTIES as far in advance as may be practicable and shall afford the CONTRACTING PARTIES and those contracting parties having a substantial interest as exporters of the product concerned an opportunity to consult with it in respect of the proposed action. When such notice is given in relation to a concession with respect to a preference, the notice shall name the contracting party which has requested the action. In critical circumstances, where delay would cause damage which it would be difficult to repair, action under paragraph 1 of this Article may be taken provisionally without prior consultation, on the condition that consultation shall be effected immediately after taking such action.

　　2.缔约国在根据本条第一款的规定采取行动以前，应尽可能提前用书面通知缔约国全体，以便缔约国全体及与这项产品的出口有实质利害关系的缔约国，有机会与它就拟采取的行动进行协商。如涉及的是有关优惠方面的减让，在书面通知中应注明要求采取行动的缔约国的名称。在紧急情况下，如果延迟会造成难于补救的损害，不经事前协商，可以采取本条第一款规定的行动，但在采取行动以后，必须立即进行协商。

　　3. (a) If agreement among the interested contracting parties with respect to the action is not reached, the contracting party which proposes to take or continue the action shall, nevertheless, be free to do so, and if such action is taken or continued, the affected contracting parties shall then be free, not later than ninety days after such action is taken, to suspend, upon the expiration of thirty days from the day on which written notice of such suspension is received by the CONTRACTING PARTIES, the application to the trade of the contracting party taking such action, or, in the case envisaged in paragraph 1 (b) of this Article, to the trade of the contracting party requesting such action, of such substantially equivalent concessions or other obligations under this Agreement the suspension of which the CONTRACTING PARTIES do not disapprove.

　　3.(甲)如在有利害关系的缔约国之间不能就这项行动达成协议，则提议采取或维持这项行动的缔约国仍然可以执行它。当它这样做以后，受到影响的缔约国在采取这项行动以后的90天内，可以从缔约国全体收到暂停实施减让的书面通知之日起30天期满以后，对采取这项行动的缔约国的贸易，暂停实施本协定规定的那些大体上对等的减让或其他义务，或如为本条第一款(乙)项所述情况，对要求采取这项行动的缔约国，暂停实施这种减让或其他义务，如果缔约国全体对此不表示异议。

　　(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, where action is taken under paragraph 2 of this Article without prior consultation and causes or threatens serious injury in the territory of a contracting party to the domestic producers of products affected by the action, that contracting party shall, where delay would cause damage difficult to repair, be free to suspend, upon the taking of the action and throughout the period of consultation, such concessions or other obligations as may be necessary to prevent or remedy the injury.

　　(乙)在未经事前协商即按本条第二款采取行动因此对一缔约国领土产品的国内生产者造成严重损害或产生严重威胁的情况下，尽管有本款(甲)项的规定，如果延迟会造成难于补救的损失，则那一缔约国在这项行动采取以后以及在整个协商期间，可以暂停实施防止或纠正损害所必需的那种减让或其他义务。

　　Article XX: General Exceptions 第二十条 一般例外

　　Subject to the requirement that such measures are not applied in a manner which would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between countries where the same conditions prevail, or a disguised restriction on international trade, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the adoption or enforcement by any contracting party of measures:

　　(a) necessary to protect public morals;

　　(b) necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health;

　　(c) relating to the importations or exportations of gold or silver;

　　(甲)为维护公共道德所必需的措施;

　　(乙)为保障人民、动植物的生命或健康所必需的措施;

　　(丙)有关输出或输入黄金或白银的措施;

　　(i) involving restrictions on exports of domestic materials necessary to ensure essential quantities of such materials to a domestic processing industry during periods when the domestic price of such materials is held below the world price as part of a governmental stabilization plan; Provided that such restrictions shall not operate to increase the exports of or the protection afforded to such domestic industry, and shall not depart from the provisions of this Agreement relating to non-discrimination;

　　(辛)如果商品协定所遵守的原则已向缔约国全体提出，缔约国全体未表示异议，或商品协定本身已向缔约国全体提出，缔约国全体未表示异议，为履行这种国际商品协定所承担的义务而采取的措施;

　　(申)在国内原料的价格被压低到低于国际价格水平，作为在政府稳定计划的一部分的期间内，为了保证国内加工工业对这些原料的基本需要，有必要采取的限制这些原料出口的措施;但不得利用限制来增加此种国内工业的出口或对其提供保护，也不得背离本协定的有关非歧视的规定;

　　(j) essential to the acquisition or distribution of products in general or local short supply; Provided that any such measures shall be consistent with the principle that all contracting parties are entitled to an equitable share of the international supply of such products, and that any such measures, which are inconsistent with the other provisions of the Agreement shall be discontinued as soon as the conditions giving rise to them have ceased to exist. The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall review the need for this sub-paragraph not later than 30 June 1960.

　　(酉)在普遍或局部供应不足的情况下，为获取或分配产品所必需采取的措施;但采取的措施必须符合以下原则：所有缔约国在这些产品的国际供应中都有权占有公平的份额，而且，如采取的措施与本协定的其他规定不符，它应在导致其实施的条件不复存在时，立即予以停止。最迟于1960年6月30日以前，缔约国全体应对本项规定的需要情况进行检查 。
