However, the Article has received insufficient study and remains vague.This paper takes China's eight EIAs as test cases for interpreting GATS Article V and argues that GATS commitments may be an appropriate threshold for interpreting the Article, in particular the substantial sectoral coverage and elimination of discrimination requirements, which are probably among the major challenges. 2012-04-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/sol_research/4470 info:doi/10.54648/trad2012013 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/sol_research/article/6428/viewcontent/ssrn_2049238_pv.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University China dispute resolution economic integration General Agreement on Trade in Services trade flow trade policy trade relations World Trade Organization Asian Studies International Trade Law |
