Passage 1
Greater Wealth of Nations
Conclusion of the Uruguay Round is truly a triumph in adversity. Securing agreement among so many countries on such a complex raft of trade agreements frequently seemed an insuperable challenge in the past seven years. Whatever the shortcoming of the result, the original vision of a broad expansion of international trade law is now much closer to fulfillment. More remarkable still so is the dream that drove the founding fathers of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade: that of a liberal rule-based international trading system overseen by an authoritative world trade organization.
The Final Act of the Uruguay Round promise to bring farm products within GATT discipline. Inclusion of farm trade, though incomplete, will reduce the danger of international conflict over dumping of subsidized surpluses, reinforce market-based agricultural reforms that are gradually being introduced in the developed world, and give developing countries a better chance of exploiting theircomparative advantage as food producers. In textiles, gradual phasing out of the protectionist Multifibre Arrangement will eventually allow greater international competition and force overdue restructuring of textile industries in the developed world. The agreement provides for significant elaboration of rules designed to ensure that trade is fair as well as free. It promises greater clarity concerning when and for how long countries will be permitted to resort to"safeguard"measures against imports, to impose anti-dumping duties and to subsidize domestic industries.
No member country has the right to use protectionist measures under any conditions
A、正确
B、错误
【正确答案】:B
【名师解析】:题目中提到了乌拉圭回合的最终协议,这是国际贸易法扩展的一个重大胜利,并且提到了农产品贸易纳入GATT规则,以及纺织品行业逐渐取消保护主义的多纤维协议。然而,题目的最后一句指出"No member country has the right to use protectionist measures under any conditions",这与题目内容不符,因为最终协议确实提供了一些情况下可以采取保护措施的规则,例如"safeguard"措施、反倾销税和对国内产业的补贴。因此,题目的陈述是错误的,正确答案是选项B。
