摘要: |
从《欧韩自由贸易协定》到《中欧全面投资协定》,欧盟将劳工条款纳入可持续发展章节,以相对软性机制促进缔约国对劳工标准的遵守,但该模式一直被批评实效甚微。为此,欧盟意欲加强条款的执行力度,发起了欧韩劳工条款争端案,并首次启动专家组程序。该案明确了国际劳工组织核心公约争议可纳入专家组受案范围,强化了核心劳工标准的义务性约束,并推动韩国修改国内立法和批准国际劳工组织相关核心公约。为了应对《中欧全面投资协定》生效后的劳工条款争端风险,中国应当加快修改立法和实践中与国际劳工组织核心公约明显不符之处,推动相关核心公约的批准进程,加大对国际劳工法律人才的选拔与培养,并重视发挥“法庭之友”的作用。 |

Coping with the Risk of Soft Labor Clauses in China-EU Comprehensive Agreement on Investment: From the Perspective of the EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement Dispute |

Abstract: |
From the EU-Korea free trade agreement to the China-EU comprehensive investment agreement, the EU has incorporated labor provisions into the sustainable development chapter and used a relatively soft mechanism to promote the contracting parties to adhere to labor standards. However, it has been criticized as having little effect in practice. Therefore, the EU intends to strengthen the clauses’implementation. It initiated the EU-Korea FTA labor clause dispute case, and launched the mechanism of the panel of experts for the first time. The case clarifies that the panel of experts can accept disputes over the core conventions of the International Labour Organization, which strengthen the obligatory constraints of core labor standards. Influenced by the case, South Korea revised its domestic legislation and ratified the relevant core conventions of the International Labour Organization. To cope with the risk of disputes over labor clauses of China-EU Comprehensive Agreement on Investment, China should speed up revising legislation and practices inconsistent with the core conventions of the International Labor Organization and promote the ratification process of relevant core conventions. In addition, China should also enhance the selection and training of legal talents in the field of international labor and attach importance to the role of“amicus curiae”. |
