　　1. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the metropolitan customs territories of the contracting parties and to any other customs territories in respect of which this Agreement has been accepted under Article XXVI or is being applied under Article XXXIII or pursuant to the Protocol of Provisional Application. Each such customs territory shall, exclusively for the purposes of the territorial application of this Agreement, be treated as though it were a contracting party; Provided that the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to create any rights or obligations as between two or more customs territories in respect of which this Agreement has been accepted under Article XXVI or is being applied under Article XXXIII or pursuant to the Protocol of Provisional Application by a single contracting party.

　　1.本協(xié)定的各項(xiàng)規(guī)定，應(yīng)適用于各締約國本國的關(guān)稅領(lǐng)土，適用按照第二十六條接受本協(xié)定或按照第三十三條或《臨時(shí)適用議定書》實(shí)施本協(xié)定的任何其他關(guān)稅領(lǐng)土。每一個(gè)這樣的關(guān)稅領(lǐng)土，從本協(xié)定的領(lǐng)土適用范圍來說，應(yīng)把它作為一個(gè)締約國對待。但本款的規(guī)定不得解釋為：一締約國按照第二十六條接受本協(xié)定或按照第三十三條或《臨時(shí)適用議定書》實(shí)施本協(xié)定，即因此在兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的關(guān)稅領(lǐng)土之間產(chǎn)生任何權(quán)利或義務(wù)。

　　2. For the purposes of this Agreement a customs territory shall be understood to mean any territory with respect to which separate tariffs or other regulations of commerce are maintained for a substantial part of the trade of such territory with other territories.

　　4. The contracting parties recognize the desirability of increasing freedom of trade by the development, through voluntary agreements, of closer integration between the economies of the countries parties to such agreements. They also recognize that the purpose of a customs union or of a free-trade area should be to facilitate trade between the constituent territories and not to raise barriers to the trade of other contracting parties with such territories.

　　4.締約各國認(rèn)為，通過自愿簽訂協(xié)定發(fā)展各國之間經(jīng)濟(jì)的一體化，以擴(kuò)大貿(mào)易的自由化是有好處的。締約各國還認(rèn)為，成立關(guān)稅聯(lián)盟或自由貿(mào)易區(qū)的目的，應(yīng)為便利組成聯(lián)盟或自由貿(mào)易區(qū)的各領(lǐng)土之間的貿(mào)易，但對其他締約國與這些領(lǐng)土之間進(jìn)行的貿(mào)易，不得提高壁壘。

　　5. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement shall not prevent, as between the territories of contracting parties, the formation of a customs union or of a free-trade area or the adoption of an interim agreement necessary for the formation of a customs union or of a free-trade area; Provided that:

　　5.因此，本協(xié)定的各項(xiàng)規(guī)定，不得阻止締約各國在其領(lǐng)土之間建立關(guān)稅聯(lián)盟或自由貿(mào)易區(qū)，或?yàn)榻㈥P(guān)稅聯(lián)盟或自由貿(mào)易區(qū)的需要采用某種臨時(shí)協(xié)定，但是：

　　(乙)對自由貿(mào)易區(qū)或過渡到自由貿(mào)易區(qū)的臨時(shí)協(xié)定來說，在建立自由貿(mào)易區(qū)或采用臨時(shí)協(xié)定以后，每個(gè)組成領(lǐng)土維持的對未參加貿(mào)易區(qū)或臨時(shí)協(xié)定的締約各國貿(mào)易所適用的關(guān)稅和其他貿(mào)易規(guī)章，不得高于或嚴(yán)于同一組成領(lǐng)土在未成立自由貿(mào)易區(qū)或臨時(shí)協(xié)定時(shí)所實(shí)施的相當(dāng)關(guān)稅和其他貿(mào)易規(guī)章，以及

　　(c) any interim agreement referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b) shall include a plan and schedule for the formation of such a customs union or of such a free-trade area within a reasonable length of time.

　　6. If, in fulfilling the requirements of subparagraph 5 (a), a contracting party proposes to increase any rate of duty inconsistently with the provisions of Article II, the procedure set forth in Article XXVIII shall apply. In providing for compensatory adjustment, due account shall be taken of the compensation already afforded by the reduction brought about in the corresponding duty of the other constituents of the union.

　　6.在實(shí)施本條第五款(甲)項(xiàng)要求的時(shí)候，一締約國所擬增加的稅率如與本協(xié)定第二條不符，則本協(xié)定第二十八條的程序，應(yīng)予適用。在提供補(bǔ)償性調(diào)整時(shí)，應(yīng)適當(dāng)考慮聯(lián)盟的其他成員在減低相應(yīng)的關(guān)稅方面已提供的補(bǔ)償。

　　7. (a) Any contracting party deciding to enter into a customs union or free-trade area, or an interim agreement leading to the formation of such a union or area, shall promptly notify the CONTRACTING PARTIES and shall make available to them such information regarding the proposed union or area as will enable them to make such reports and recommendations to contracting parties as they may deem appropriate.

　　(b) If, after having studied the plan and schedule included in an interim agreement referred to in paragraph 5 in consultation with the parties to that agreement and taking due account of the information made available in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (a), the CONTRACTING PARTIES find that such agreement is not likely to result in the formation of a customs union or of a free-trade area within the period contemplated by the parties to the agreement or that such period is not a reasonable one, the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall make recommendations to the parties to the agreement. The parties shall not maintain or put into force, as the case may be, such agreement if they are not prepared to modify it in accordance with these recommendations.

　　(c) Any substantial change in the plan or schedule referred to in paragraph 5 (c) shall be communicated to the CONTRACTING PARTIES, which may request the contracting parties concerned to consult with them if the change seems likely to jeopardize or delay unduly the formation of the customs union or of the free-trade area.

　　5.(甲)凡接受本協(xié)定的政府，應(yīng)代表本國領(lǐng)土及其負(fù)有國際責(zé)任的其他領(lǐng)土而接受本協(xié)定;如有某些單獨(dú)關(guān)稅領(lǐng)土不由它來代表，應(yīng)在接受本協(xié)定時(shí)通知締約國全體執(zhí)行秘書長。

　　(乙)任何政府，經(jīng)按本款(甲)項(xiàng)的例外規(guī)定通知執(zhí)行秘書長后，可以隨時(shí)通知執(zhí)行秘書長：它的對本協(xié)定的接受，應(yīng)對前作為例外的單獨(dú)關(guān)稅領(lǐng)土有效，但這項(xiàng)通知應(yīng)自執(zhí)行秘書長接到通知之日后第30日起生效。

　　(丙)原由某締約國代為接受本協(xié)定的任何關(guān)稅領(lǐng)土，如現(xiàn)在在處理對外貿(mào)易關(guān)系和本協(xié)定規(guī)定的其他事務(wù)方面享有或取得完全自主權(quán)，這一領(lǐng)土經(jīng)負(fù)責(zé)的締約國發(fā)表聲明證實(shí)上述事實(shí)后，應(yīng)視為本協(xié)定的一個(gè)締約國。

　　6. This Agreement shall enter into force, as among the governments which have accepted it, on the thirtieth day following the day on which instruments of acceptance have been deposited with Executive Secretary to the Contracting Parties on behalf of governments named in Annex H, the territories of which account for 85 per centum of the total external trade of the territories of such governments, computed in accordance with the applicable column of percentages set forth therein. The instrument of acceptance of each other government shall take effect on the thirtieth day following the day on which such instrument has been deposited.

　　7. The United Nations is authorized to effect registration of this Agreement as soon as it enters into force.

　　6.本協(xié)定附件八所列各國政府，以政府名義向締約國全體執(zhí)行秘書長交存接受證書后，如它們領(lǐng)土的對外貿(mào)易按附件八規(guī)定適用的百分比計(jì)算，達(dá)到附件所列各國政府的領(lǐng)土的全部對外貿(mào)易之85%時(shí)，本協(xié)定應(yīng)自達(dá)到這項(xiàng)百分比之日后第30日起，在這些接受的各國政府之間開始生效。每一其他政府的接受證書，應(yīng)自這一政府交存證書之日后第30日起生效。

A contracting party taking such action shall notify the CONTRACTING PARTIES and, upon request, consult with contracting parties which have a substantial interest in the product concerned.

　　如一締約國確定與它談判減讓的另一國政府未成為協(xié)定的締約國，或已中止為本協(xié)定的締約國，則這一締約國可以隨時(shí)全部或部分地停止或撤銷本協(xié)定有關(guān)減讓表內(nèi)規(guī)定的任何減讓。締約國在采取這項(xiàng)行動(dòng)以前，應(yīng)通知締約國全體;如被要求，應(yīng)與有關(guān)產(chǎn)品有實(shí)質(zhì)利害關(guān)系的締約國進(jìn)行協(xié)商。

　　Article XXVIII: Modification of Schedules 第二十八條 減讓表的修改

　　1. On the first day of each three-year period, the first period beginning on 1 January 1958 (or on the first day of any other period that may be specified by the CONTRACTING PARTIES by two-thirds of the votes cast) a contracting party (hereafter in this Article referred to as the applicant contracting party) may, by negotiation and agreement 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 principal supplying interest(which two preceding categories of contracting parties, together with the applicant contracting party, are in this Article hereinafter referred to as the contracting parties primarily concerned), and subject to consultation with any other contracting party determined by the CONTRACTING PARTIES to have a substantial interest in such concession, modify or withdraw a concession included in the appropriate schedule annexed to this Agreement.

　　1.在每三年的第一天(第一期自1958年1月1日起)，或締約國全體以所投票數(shù)的2/3規(guī)定的任何其他期限的第一天，一締約國(在本條內(nèi)此后簡稱申請締約國)經(jīng)與原議定減讓的另一締約國和締約國全體認(rèn)為在供應(yīng)上具有主要利害關(guān)系的其他締約國(上述兩類締約國連同申請締約國在本條內(nèi)此后簡稱主要有關(guān)締約各國)談判取得協(xié)議，并須與締約國全體認(rèn)為在減讓中有實(shí)質(zhì)利害關(guān)系的其他締約國進(jìn)行協(xié)商的條件下，可以修改或撤銷本協(xié)定有關(guān)減讓表內(nèi)所列的某項(xiàng)減讓。

　　2. In such negotiations and agreement, which may include provision for compensatory adjustment with respect to other products, the contracting parties concerned shall endeavour to maintain a general level of reciprocal and mutually advantageous concessions not less favourable to trade than that provided for in this Agreement prior to such negotiations.

　　2.在上述談判的協(xié)議中，(對其他產(chǎn)品所作的補(bǔ)償性調(diào)整規(guī)定可能包括在內(nèi))，有關(guān)締約國應(yīng)力求維持互惠互利減讓的一般水平，使其對貿(mào)易的優(yōu)待不低于談判前本協(xié)定所規(guī)定的水平。

　　3. (a) If agreement between the contracting parties primarily concerned cannot be reached before 1 January 1958 or before the expiration of a period envisaged in paragraph 1 of this Article, the contracting party which proposes to modify or withdraw the concession shall, nevertheless, be free to do so and if such action is taken any contracting party with which such concession was initially negotiated, any contracting party determined under paragraph 1 to have a principal supplying interest and any contracting party determined under paragraph 1 to have a substantial interest shall then be free not later than six months after such action is taken, to withdraw, upon the expiration of thirty days from the day on which written notice of such withdrawal is received by the CONTRACTING PARTIES, substantially equivalent concessions initially negotiated with the applicant contracting party.

　　3.(甲)如在主要有關(guān)締約各國之間，不能在1958年1月1日或在本條第一款所規(guī)定的期限屆滿以前達(dá)成協(xié)議時(shí)，原擬修改或撤銷減讓的締約國仍然可以隨時(shí)采取行動(dòng)，而且，如已采取這一行動(dòng)，這原來與它談判減讓的締約國和按照本條第一款認(rèn)為在供應(yīng)上具有主要利害關(guān)系的締約國以及按照第一款認(rèn)為有實(shí)質(zhì)利害關(guān)系的締約國，可以有權(quán)在不遲于行動(dòng)采取以后的六個(gè)月內(nèi)，自締約國全體接到撤銷的書面通知書之日起屆滿30日后，撤銷大體上相當(dāng)于原來與申請締約國所議定的減讓。

　　(b) If agreement between the contracting parties primarily concerned is reached but any other contracting party determined under paragraph 1 of this Article to have a substantial interest is not satisfied, such other contracting party shall be free, not later than six months after action under such agreement is taken, to withdraw, upon the expiration of thirty days from the day on which written notice of such withdrawal is received by the CONTRACTING PARTIES, substantially equivalent concessions initially negotiated with the applicant contracting party.

　　(乙)如主要有關(guān)締約各國之間已達(dá)成協(xié)議，但按照本條第一款認(rèn)為有實(shí)質(zhì)利害關(guān)系的其他締約國不能認(rèn)為滿意時(shí)，則這一其他締約國在不遲于按照這項(xiàng)協(xié)議采取行動(dòng)以后的六個(gè)月內(nèi)，自締約國全體接到撤銷的書面通知書之日起屆滿30日以后，應(yīng)可以撤銷大體上相當(dāng)于原來與申請締約國所議定的減讓。

　　4. The CONTRACTING PARTIES may, at any time, in special circumstances, authorize a contracting party to enter into negotiations for modification or withdrawal of a concession included in the appropriate Schedule annexed to this Agreement subject to the following procedures and conditions:

　　(a) Such negotiations and any related consultations shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 and 2 of this Article.

　　(b) If agreement between the contracting parties primarily concerned is reached in the negotiations, the provisions of paragraph 3 (b) of this Article shall apply.

　　(c) If agreement between the contracting parties primarily concerned is not reached within a period of sixty days after negotiations have been authorized, or within such longer period as the CONTRACTING PARTIES may have prescribed, the applicant contracting party may refer the matter to the CONTRACTING PARTIES.

　　4.締約國全體可以隨時(shí)因特殊情況準(zhǔn)許某締約國進(jìn)行談判，以修改或撤銷本協(xié)定有關(guān)減讓表內(nèi)所列的某項(xiàng)減讓，但應(yīng)在下列程序和條件下進(jìn)行：

　　(甲)這一談判和其他有關(guān)協(xié)商，應(yīng)按本條第一款和第二款的規(guī)定進(jìn)行。

　　(乙)如主要有關(guān)締約各國之間在談判中達(dá)成協(xié)議，本條第三款規(guī)定應(yīng)予適用。

　　(丙)如主要有關(guān)締約各國之間不能在批準(zhǔn)的談判開始后六十天內(nèi)或締約國全體規(guī)定的更長期間內(nèi)達(dá)成協(xié)議，這一申請締約國可將問題提交締約國全體處理。

　　(d) Upon such reference, the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall promptly examine the matter and submit their views to the contracting parties primarily concerned with the aim of achieving a settlement. If a settlement is reached, the provisions of paragraph 3 (b) shall apply as if agreement between the contracting parties primarily concerned had been reached. If no settlement is reached between the contracting parties primarily concerned, the applicant contracting party shall be free to modify or withdraw the concession, unless the CONTRACTING PARTIES determine that the applicant contracting party has unreasonably failed to offer adequate compensation. If such action is taken, any contracting party with which the concession was initially negotiated, any contracting party determined under paragraph 4 (a) to have a principal supplying interest and any contracting party determined under paragraph 4 (a) to have a substantial interest, shall be free, not later than six months after such action is taken, to modify or withdraw, upon the expiration of thirty days from the day on which written notice of such withdrawal is received by the CONTRACTING PARTIES, substantially equivalent concessions initially negotiated with applicant contracting party.

　　(丁)問題提交締約國全體后，締約國全體應(yīng)迅速對此進(jìn)行調(diào)查，并應(yīng)向主要有關(guān)締約各國提出意見，謀求解決辦法。如能獲得解決辦法，應(yīng)如在主要有關(guān)締約各國之間達(dá)成協(xié)議一樣，適用本條第三款(乙)項(xiàng)的規(guī)定。如在主要規(guī)定締約各國之間不能獲得解決辦法，除了締約國全體決定申請締約國不提供適當(dāng)補(bǔ)償是不合理的以外，申請締約國應(yīng)有權(quán)修改或撤銷減讓。如果采取這一行動(dòng)，則原與它談判減讓的締約國以及按照本條第四款(甲)項(xiàng)認(rèn)為在供應(yīng)上具有主要利害關(guān)系的締約國和按照第四款(甲)項(xiàng)認(rèn)為有實(shí)質(zhì)利害關(guān)系的其他締約國，應(yīng)有權(quán)在不遲于行動(dòng)采取以后的六個(gè)月內(nèi)，自締約國全體接到撤銷的書面通知書之日起屆滿30日后，修正或撤銷大體相當(dāng)于原來與申請締約國所議定的減讓。

　　5. Before 1 January 1958 and before the end of any period envisaged in paragraph 1 a contracting party may elect by notifying the CONTRACTING PARTIES to reserve the right, for the duration of the next period, to modify the appropriate Schedule in accordance with the procedures of paragraph 1 to 3. If a contracting party so elects, other contracting parties shall have the right, during the same period, to modify or withdraw, in accordance with the same procedures, concessions initially negotiated with that contracting party.

　　5.1958年1月1日以前和本條第一款規(guī)定的其他期間結(jié)束以前，締約國可以采取通知締約國全體的方式，保留在下一期內(nèi)按照本條第一款至第三款的程序?qū)τ嘘P(guān)減讓表進(jìn)行修改的權(quán)利。如一締約國作此選擇，則其他締約國應(yīng)有權(quán)在同一時(shí)期內(nèi)，按照同樣的程序修改或撤銷原與這一締約國議定的減讓。

　　Article XXVIII bis: Tariff Negotiations 第二十八條 附加關(guān)稅談判

　　1. The contracting parties recognize that customs duties often constitute serious obstacles to trade; thus negotiations on a reciprocal and mutually advantageous basis, directed to the substantial reduction of the general level of tariffs and other charges on imports and exports and in particular to the reduction of such high tariffs as discourage the importation even of minimum quantities, and conducted with due regard to the objectives of this Agreement and the varying needs of individual contracting parties, are of great importance to the expansion of international trade. The CONTRACTING PARTIES may therefore sponsor such negotiations from time to time.

　　1.締約各國認(rèn)為，關(guān)稅時(shí)常成為進(jìn)行貿(mào)易的嚴(yán)重障礙;因此，在互惠互利基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行談判，以大幅度降低關(guān)稅和進(jìn)出口其他費(fèi)用的一般水平，特別是降低那些使少量進(jìn)口都受到阻礙的高關(guān)稅，并在談判中適當(dāng)注意本協(xié)定的目的與締約各國的不同需要，這對發(fā)展國際貿(mào)易是非常重要的。為此，締約國全體可以不時(shí)主持這項(xiàng)談判。

　　2. (a) Negotiations under this Article may be carried out on a selective product-by-product basis or by the application of such multilateral procedures as may be accepted by the contracting parties concerned. Such negotiations may be directed towards the reduction of duties, the binding of duties at then existing levels or undertakings that individual duties or the average duties on specified categories of products shall not exceed specified levels. The binding against increase of low duties or of duty-free treatment shall, in principle, be recognized as a concession equivalent in value to the reduction of high duties.

　　(b) The contracting parties recognize that in general the success of multilateral negotiations would depend on the participation of all contracting parties which conduct a substantial proportion of their external trade with one another.

　　2.(甲)本條規(guī)定的談判，可以在有選擇的產(chǎn)品對產(chǎn)品的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行，或者通過實(shí)施有關(guān)締約國所接受的多邊程序來進(jìn)行。談判可以使關(guān)稅降低，把關(guān)稅固定在現(xiàn)有水平，或?qū)雾?xiàng)關(guān)稅或某幾種產(chǎn)品的平均關(guān)稅承擔(dān)義務(wù)不超過規(guī)定水平。低關(guān)稅或免稅待遇承擔(dān)義務(wù)不再增加，在原則上應(yīng)視為一種與高關(guān)稅的降低價(jià)值相等的減讓。

　　(乙)締約各國認(rèn)為，多邊談判的成功，一般來說依賴于相互之間有相當(dāng)大的比例的對外貿(mào)易的所有締約國參加。

　　3. Negotiations shall be conducted on a basis which affords adequate opportunity to take into account:

　　(a) the needs of individual contracting parties and individual industries;

　　(b) the needs of less-developed countries for a more flexible use of tariff protection to assist their economic development and the special needs of these countries to maintain tariffs for revenue purposes; and

　　(c) all other relevant circumstances, including the fiscal,developmental, strategic and other needs of the contracting parties concerned.

　　3.談判時(shí)應(yīng)適當(dāng)考慮：

　　(甲)某些締約國和某些工業(yè)的需要;

　　(乙)發(fā)展中國家為了有助于經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展靈活運(yùn)用關(guān)稅保護(hù)的需要，以及為了財(cái)政收入維持關(guān)稅的特別需要;以及

　　(丙)其他有關(guān)情況，包括有關(guān)締約各國在財(cái)政上、發(fā)展上、戰(zhàn)略上和其他方面的需要 。

　　Article XXIX: The Relation of this Agreement to the Havana Charter

　　第二十九條 本協(xié)定與哈瓦那憲章的關(guān)系

　　1. The contracting parties undertake to observe to the fullest extent of their executive authority the general principles of Chapters I to VI inclusive and of Chapter IX of the Havana Charter pending their acceptance of it in accordance with their constitutional procedures.

　　2. Part II of this Agreement shall be suspended on the day on which the Havana Charter enters into force.

　　3. If by September 30, 1949, the Havana Charter has not entered into force, the contracting parties shall meet before December 31, 1949, to agree whether this Agreement shall be amended, supplemented or maintained.

　　1.締約各國在按照各自的憲法程序接受哈瓦那憲章以前，應(yīng)承擔(dān)義務(wù)在其行政權(quán)力所及的范圍內(nèi)盡量遵守哈瓦那憲章第一章至第六章以及第九章的一般原則。

　　2.本協(xié)定第二部分的各項(xiàng)規(guī)定，應(yīng)在哈瓦那憲章生效之日起停止生效。

　　4. If at any time the Havana Charter should cease to be in force, the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall meet as soon as practicable thereafter to agree whether this Agreement shall be supplemented, amended or maintained. Pending such agreement, Part II of this Agreement shall again enter into force; Provided that the provisions of Part II other than Article XXIII shall be replaced, mutatis mutandis, in the form in which they then appeared in the Havana Charter; and Provided further that no contracting party shall be bound by any provisions which did not bind it at the time when the Havana Charter ceased to be in force.

　　4.不論何時(shí)如哈瓦那憲章停止生效，締約各國應(yīng)盡速集會(huì)以商定是否需要對本協(xié)定加以補(bǔ)充、修正或維持。在取得協(xié)議以前，本協(xié)定第二部分各項(xiàng)規(guī)定應(yīng)重新有效。但是，第二部分的各條規(guī)定，除第二十三條以外，應(yīng)基本上以當(dāng)時(shí)已作了修改的哈瓦那憲章所規(guī)定的內(nèi)容代替;而且，凡締約國在哈瓦那憲章停止生效時(shí)對某項(xiàng)規(guī)定沒有承擔(dān)義務(wù)的，應(yīng)對這項(xiàng)規(guī)定不承擔(dān)義務(wù)。

　　5. If any contracting party has not accepted the Havana Charter by the date upon which it enters into force, the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall confer to agree whether, and if so in what way, this Agreement in so far as it affects relations between such contracting party and other contracting parties, shall be supplemented or amended. Pending such agreement the provisions of Part II of this Agreement shall, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article, continue to apply as between such contracting party and other contracting parties.

　　6. Contracting parties which are Members of the International Trade Organization shall not invoke the provisions of this Agreement so as to prevent the operation of any provision of the Havana Charter. The application of the principle underlying this paragraph to any contracting party which is not a Member of the International Trade Organization shall be the subject of an agreement pursuant to paragraph 5 of this Article.

　　5.如果某一締約國在哈瓦那憲章已生效后仍未接受憲章，締約國全體應(yīng)即進(jìn)行協(xié)商 就本協(xié)定影響的這一締約國與其他締約國之間的關(guān)系方面，商定是否需要對協(xié)定加以補(bǔ)充或修正以及如何補(bǔ)充修正。在達(dá)成協(xié)議以前，雖有本條第二款的規(guī)定，在不接受憲章的締約國與其他締約國之間，本協(xié)定第二部分的各項(xiàng)規(guī)定應(yīng)繼續(xù)實(shí)施。

　　6.凡系國際貿(mào)易組織成員國的各締約國，不應(yīng)引用本協(xié)定的規(guī)定來阻止哈瓦那憲章各項(xiàng)規(guī)定的運(yùn)用。對不是國際貿(mào)易組織成員的締約國實(shí)施本款所包含的原則，應(yīng)是本條第五款的協(xié)商的一個(gè)項(xiàng)目。

　　Article XXX: Amendments 第三十條 本協(xié)定的修正

　　1. Except where provision for modification is made elsewhere in this Agreement, amendments to the provisions of Part I of this Agreement or the provisions of Article XXIX or of this Article shall become effective upon acceptance by all the contracting parties, and other amendments to this Agreement shall become effective, in respect of those contracting parties which accept them, upon acceptance by two-thirds of the contracting parties and thereafter for each other contracting party upon acceptance by it.

　　1.除本協(xié)定其他部分另有規(guī)定者外，本協(xié)定第一部分或第二十九條或本條的修正，應(yīng)于所有締約國接受后生效：本協(xié)定其他條款的修正，應(yīng)于2/3以上締約國接受后在這些已接受的各締約國之間生效，而以后每一其他締約國，則于這一其他締約國接受這項(xiàng)修正時(shí)生效。

　　2. Any contracting party accepting an amendment to this Agreement shall deposit an instrument of acceptance with the Secretary-General of the United Nations within such period as the CONTRACTING PARTIES may specify. The CONTRACTING PARTIES may decide that any amendment made effective under this Article is of such a nature that any contracting party which has not accepted it within a period specified by the CONTRACTING PARTIES shall be free to withdraw from this Agreement, or to remain a contracting party with the consent of the CONTRACTING PARTIES.

　　2.凡接受本協(xié)定某項(xiàng)修正的任何締約國，應(yīng)于締約國全體指定期間內(nèi)將接受證書送交聯(lián)合國秘書長存放。締約國全體可以決定，按本條生效的某項(xiàng)修正應(yīng)具有這樣的性質(zhì)：締約國在締約國全體的指定期內(nèi)未接受這項(xiàng)修正的，可以退出本協(xié)定，或經(jīng)締約國全體同意仍繼續(xù)作為本協(xié)定的締約國。

　　Article XXXI: Withdrawal 第三十一條 本協(xié)定的退出

　　Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 12 of Article XVIII, of Article XXIII or of paragraph 2 of Article XXX, any contracting party may withdraw from this Agreement, or may separately withdraw on behalf of any of the separate customs territories for which it has international responsibility and which at the time possesses full autonomy in the conduct of its external commercial relations and of the other matters provided for in this Agreement. The withdrawal shall take effect upon the expiration of six months from the day on which written notice of withdrawal is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

　　1.The contracting parties,締約國，

　　(a) recalling that the basic objectives of this Agreement include the raising of standards of living and the progressive development of the economies of all contracting parties, and considering that the attainment of these objectives is particularly urgent for less-developed contracting parties;

　　(b) considering that export earnings of the less-developed contracting parties can play a vital part in their economic development and that the extent of this contribution depends on the prices paid by the less-developed contracting parties for essential imports, the volume of their exports, and the prices received for these exports;

　　(c) noting, that there is a wide gap between standards of living in less-developed countries and in other countries;

　　(甲)憶及本協(xié)定的基本目的包括提高所有締約國的生活水平和不斷發(fā)展所有締約國的經(jīng)濟(jì)，并考慮這些目的的實(shí)現(xiàn)，對發(fā)展中的締約各國是特別迫切的;

　　(乙)考慮到發(fā)展中的締約各國的出口收入，在其經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展中可起重要作用，并考慮到這種貢獻(xiàn)的大小，取決于發(fā)展中的締約各國對進(jìn)口必需品所付的價(jià)格，它們的出口商品數(shù)量以及這些出口商品所能取得的價(jià)格;

　　(丙)注意到發(fā)展中國家和其他國家之間的生活水平有一個(gè)很大的差距;

　　(d) recognizing that individual and joint action is essential to further the development of the economies of less-developed contracting parties and to bring about a rapid advance in the standards of living in these countries;

　　(e) recognizing that international trade as a means of achieving economic and social advancement should be governed by such rules and procedures and measures in conformity with such rules and procedures as are consistent with the objectives set forth in this Article;

　　(f) noting that the CONTRACTING PARTIES may enable less-developed contracting parties to use special measures to promote their trade and development;

　　agree as follows.

　　(丁)認(rèn)為單獨(dú)和聯(lián)合行動(dòng)對促進(jìn)發(fā)展中的各締約國的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，并使這些國家的生活水平得到迅速提高是必要的;

　　(戊)認(rèn)為作為取得經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)發(fā)展的手段的國際貿(mào)易，應(yīng)當(dāng)按與本條規(guī)定的目的相符的規(guī)則與程序以及符合這些規(guī)則程序的措施加以管理;

　　(己)注意到締約國全體能使發(fā)展中的締約各國采用特別措施，以促進(jìn)它們的貿(mào)易和發(fā)展;

　　議定如下條款

　　2. There is need for a rapid and sustained expansion of the export earnings of the less-developed contracting parties.

　　3. There is need for positive efforts designed to ensure that less-developed contracting parties secure a share in the growth in international trade commensurate with the needs of their economic development.

　　2.發(fā)展中的締約各國須要迅速和持續(xù)地發(fā)展其出口收入。

　　3.有必要做出積極努力，以保證發(fā)展中的締約各國在國際貿(mào)易中能占有與它們經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展需要相適應(yīng)的份額。

　　4. Given the continued dependence of many less-developed contracting parties on the exportation of a limited range of primary products, there is need to provide in the largest possible measure more favourable and acceptable conditions of access to world markets for these products, and wherever appropriate to devise measures designed to stabilize and improve conditions of world markets in these products, including in particular measures designed to attain stable, equitable and remunerative prices, thus permitting an expansion of world trade and demand and a dynamic and steady growth of the real export earnings of these countries so as to provide them with expanding resources for their economic development.

　　5. The rapid expansion of the economies of the less-developed contracting parties will be facilitated by a diversification of the structure of their economies and the avoidance of an excessive dependence on the export of primary products. There is, therefore, need for increased access in the largest possible measure to markets under favourable conditions for processed and manufactured products currently or potentially of particular export interest to less-developed contracting parties.

　　6. Because of the chronic deficiency in the export proceeds and other foreign exchange earnings of less-developed contracting parties, there are important inter-relationships between trade and financial assistance to development. There is, therefore, need for close and continuing collaboration between the CONTRACTING PARTIES and the international lending agencies so that they can contribute most effectively to alleviating the burdens these less-developed contracting parties assume in the interest of their economic development.

　　4.由于許多發(fā)展中的締約國長期依靠某些有限初級產(chǎn)品的出口，因此，要盡最大可能對這些產(chǎn)品進(jìn)入世界市場提供更為有利和滿意的條件，而且，在認(rèn)為適當(dāng)時(shí)，要擬定措施以穩(wěn)定和改善這些產(chǎn)品在世界市場的狀況，特別是擬定一些旨在達(dá)到穩(wěn)定、公平和有利價(jià)格的措施，使世界貿(mào)易和需要有所發(fā)展，使這些國家出口的實(shí)際收入有一個(gè)不停頓的和穩(wěn)定的增長，為它們的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展提供更多的資源。

　　5.經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)的多樣化和避免過份依賴于初級產(chǎn)品的出口，將有利于發(fā)展中的締約各國的經(jīng)濟(jì)的迅速發(fā)展。因此，對與發(fā)展中的締約各國目前或潛在的出口利益特別有關(guān)的某些加工品或制成品，要在有利條件下，盡最大可能增加其進(jìn)入市場的機(jī)會(huì)。

　　6.由于發(fā)展中的締約各國的出口收入和其他外匯收入長期缺乏，貿(mào)易和財(cái)政援助對于發(fā)展有著重要的相互聯(lián)系。因此，在締約國全體和國際信貸機(jī)構(gòu)之間需要緊密和持久合作，這樣可以作出最有效的貢獻(xiàn)，以減輕發(fā)展中的締約各國在發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)中的負(fù)擔(dān)。

　　7. There is need for appropriate collaboration between the CONTRACTING PARTIES, otherintergovernmental bodies and the organs and agencies of the United Nations system, whose activities relate to the trade and economic development of less-developed countries.

　　8. The developed contracting parties do not expect reciprocity for commitments made by them in trade negotiations to reduce or remove tariffs and other barriers to the trade of less-developed contracting parties.

　　9. The adoption of measures to give effect to these principles and objectives shall be a matter of conscious and purposeful effort on the part of the contracting parties both individually and jointly.

　　7.締約國全體同與發(fā)展中國家的貿(mào)易和經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展有關(guān)的其他國際團(tuán)體和聯(lián)合國的附屬機(jī)構(gòu)之間，須要適當(dāng)合作。

　　8.發(fā)達(dá)的締約各國對它們在貿(mào)易談判中對發(fā)展中的締約各國的貿(mào)易所承諾的減少或撤除關(guān)稅和其他壁壘的義務(wù)，不能希望得到互惠。

　　9.締約各國應(yīng)單獨(dú)和聯(lián)合作出自覺和有目的的努力，為實(shí)現(xiàn)這些原則和目的而采取措施。

　　Article XXXVII: Commitments 第三十七條 承諾的義務(wù)

　　(甲)優(yōu)先降低和撤除與發(fā)展中的締約各國目前或潛在的出口利益特別有關(guān)的產(chǎn)品的壁壘，包括其初級產(chǎn)品和加工產(chǎn)品之間的不合理的差別關(guān)稅和其他限制;

　　(乙)對與發(fā)展中的締約各國目前或潛在的出口利益特別有關(guān)的產(chǎn)品，不建立新的關(guān)稅或非關(guān)稅進(jìn)口壁壘，或加強(qiáng)已有的這些壁壘;以及

　　(c) (i) refrain from imposing new fiscal measures, and

　　(ii) in any adjustments of fiscal policy accord high priority to the reduction and elimination of fiscal measures, which would hamper, or which hamper, significantly the growth of consumption of primary products, in raw or processed form, wholly or mainly produced in the territories of less-developed contracting parties, and which are applied specifically to those products.

　　(丙)(1)不實(shí)施新的財(cái)政措施，和

　　(2)在調(diào)整財(cái)政政策時(shí)，優(yōu)先放寬和撤除財(cái)政措施，

　　2. (a) Whenever it is considered that effect is not being given to any of the provisions of subparagraph (a), (b) or (c) of paragraph 1, the matter shall be reported to the CONTRACTING PARTIES either by the contracting party not so giving effect to the relevant provisions or by any other interested contracting party.

　　(b) (i) The CONTRACTING PARTIES shall, if requested so to do by any interested contracting party, and without prejudice to any bilateral consultations that may be undertaken, consult with the contracting party concerned and all interested contracting parties with respect to the matter with a view to reaching solutions satisfactory to all contracting parties concerned in order to further the objectives set forth in Article XXXVI. In the course of these consultations, the reasons given in cases where effect was not being given to the provisions of subparagraph (a), (b) or (c) of paragraph 1 shall be examined.

　　(ii) As the implementation of the provisions of subparagraph (a), (b) or (c) of paragraph 1 by individual contracting parties may in some cases be more readily achieved where action is taken jointly with other developed contracting parties, such consultation might, where appropriate, be directed towards this end.

　　(iii) The consultations by the CONTRACTING PARTIES might also, in appropriate cases, be directed towards agreement on joint action designed to further the objectives of this Agreement as envisaged in paragraph 1 of Article XXV.

　　2.(甲)如認(rèn)為本條第一款(甲)、(乙)或(丙)項(xiàng)中的任何一項(xiàng)規(guī)定沒有付諸實(shí)施，沒有實(shí)施有關(guān)規(guī)定的締約國或其他有關(guān)締約國應(yīng)向締約國全體報(bào)告這個(gè)問題。

　　(乙)(1)經(jīng)某一有利害關(guān)系的締約國提出要求，并對可能進(jìn)行的雙邊協(xié)商不造成任何損害的情況下，締約國全體應(yīng)就這個(gè)問題與有關(guān)締約國以及有利害關(guān)系的所有締約國進(jìn)行協(xié)商，設(shè)法達(dá)成使所有有關(guān)締約國滿意的解決辦法，以便促進(jìn)實(shí)現(xiàn)本協(xié)定第三十六條的目的。在協(xié)商過程中，應(yīng)當(dāng)檢查不能實(shí)施第一款(甲)、(乙)或(丙)項(xiàng)所列舉的理由。

　　(2)鑒于在某些情況下某締約國與其他發(fā)達(dá)的締約國采取聯(lián)合行動(dòng)可能更容易實(shí)施本條第一款(甲)、(乙)或(丙)項(xiàng)的規(guī)定，因此，如認(rèn)為適當(dāng)，可以為此而進(jìn)行協(xié)商。

　　(3)締約國全體在適當(dāng)情況下，也可以協(xié)商采取第二十五條第一款規(guī)定的旨在促進(jìn)實(shí)現(xiàn)本協(xié)定的目的的聯(lián)合行動(dòng)。

　　3. The developed contracting parties shall: 3.發(fā)達(dá)的締約各國應(yīng)當(dāng)：

　　4. Less-developed contracting parties agree to take appropriate action in implementation of the provisions of Part IV for the benefit of the trade of other less-developed contracting parties, in so far as such action is consistent with their individual present and future development, financial and trade needs taking into account past trade developments as well as the trade interests of less-developed contracting parties as a whole.

　　5. In the implementation of the commitments set forth in paragraph 1 to 4 each contracting party shall afford to any other interested contracting party or contracting parties full and prompt opportunity for consultations under the normal procedures of this Agreement with respect to any matter or difficulty which may arise.

　　4.發(fā)展中的締約國同意采取適當(dāng)措施，為其他發(fā)展中的締約國的貿(mào)易利益來貫徹實(shí)施本協(xié)定第四部分的各項(xiàng)規(guī)定，但所采取的措施，應(yīng)符合它們各自目前和將來的發(fā)展、財(cái)政和貿(mào)易需要，過去的貿(mào)易發(fā)展及整個(gè)發(fā)展中的締約國的貿(mào)易利益應(yīng)考慮在內(nèi)。
