Countermeasure Research On Technical Barriers To Trade That China Electromechanical Export Faced To

With the acceleration of the economic globalization and the trade liberalization, technical trade measures are used more widely, and they have become important methods of the current countries' industry protection and the promotion of foreign trade. As Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) has nominal rationality, clever references, complex forms, together with the characteristics of its hidden nature, it easily leads to the abuse of trade protectionism while it is legitimate. The main forms of TBT are technical regulations, standards, qualified assessment procedures, packaging and labelling requirements, and the special form of TBT-intellectual property barriers. The positive impact of TBT's acting on China electromechanical export is to propel technical innovation of enterprises and upgrading of the industrial structure of China's electromechanical industry. And the negative effect is the increasing of export costs, the weakening of competitive advantage, and huge losses to the industry. From a macro perspective, the reason that China electromechanical exports often encounter foreign TBT is the contention of developed and developing countries in the political and economic interests; from a micro perspective, the reason that developing countries' exports often encounter foreign TBT is the improvement of technical thresholds, the inferior level of science and technology, and the weakness of the export industries. The thesis puts forward some specific and feasible countermeasures for government, guild and enterprises, and point out that only if government, guild and enterprises play their respective role adequately, the "three-in-one" strategic alliance to deal with TBT can be built through the tripartite efforts. Thus China's electromechanical export can get across foreign TBT effectively and foreign trade can achieve stable and sustained development.
