초록
지역무역협정의 급속한 확산 및 심화는 최근 세계경제에서 가장 주목할 만한 현상중 하나이다. 이에 따라 자유롭고 공정한 다자무역질서 및 이를 管掌하는 WTO의 권위와 신뢰가 훼손될 수 있다는 우려가 높아지고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 지역무역협정 관련 문제를 전담하기 위해 1996년 2월 WTO내에 설치된 지역무역협정위원회(CRTA)의 지난 10년간 활동내용 및 성과를 위임사항을 중심으로 비판적으로 평가하려 한다. 평가결과, 주요국의 의지결여 및 WTO규범의 모호함으로 인해 CRTA는 부과된 위임사항을 제대로 달성하지 못한 것으로 드러났다. 평가결과 나타난 문제점에 근거하여 본 논문은 CRTA 운영의 효율화 방안을 제시하면서 지역무역협정의 급속한 확산속에서도 다자무역체제를 안정적으로 발전시켜 나가야 하는 WTO의 역할을 강조하려 한다.
Abstract
The proliferation and deepening of regional trade agreements has been one of the most prominent phenomenon in the world economy over the past decade. Therefore, there has been a mounting concern on the efficacy and the credibility of the WTO as an international institution responsible for maintaining and promoting multilateral trading order. In this regard, this paper intends to critically evaluate the role of the Committee on Regional Trade Agreements (CRTA) of the WTO since its inception in February 1996. It turns out that the CRTA, as a body responsible for regional trade agreements, has not been successful in accomplishing its assigned terms of reference due mainly to the lack of strong commitment of major member countries and the vague rules on regional trade agreements. Finally, the paper presents some ways of enhancing the efficiency of the CRTA.
