当今世界,经济全球化、国际贸易与投资的自由化是时代主流。环境壁垒取代关税壁垒和进口许可证与配额制等各种传统的非关税壁垒,正成为各国保护投资与贸易的新手段。投资与环境之间的关系日益受到国际社会的关注。环境不应成为阻碍国际贸易与投资自由化的壁垒,但决不能一味地追求对外资的引进而忽视了对环境的保护。 In today’s world, economic globalization and the liberalization of international trade and investment are the mainstream of the times. Environmental barriers to replace tariff barriers and import permits and quotas and other traditional non-tariff barriers, is becoming a new means of investment protection and trade. The relationship between investment and environment has drawn increasing attention from the international community. The environment should not become a barrier to the liberalization of international trade and investment. However, we must never blindly pursue the introduction of foreign investment and neglect the protection of the environment.
