Abstract:
Bali Package has brought a new situation for China to protect the food security. Food safety is increasingly becoming the focus of the negotiations from GATT to Doha Round. All the interest groups had different negotiating positions and different interest claims on food safety. This Agreement made a breakthrough in recognition of the importance of food security and other non-trade concerns, "Peace clause" public reserve plan, the reform of tariff quota system and other things, but there are some shortcomings, such as, the low bounding of the existence document, the failure of abolition of agricultural subsidies in developed countries, the complex procedures and conditions to implement the good policy, and so on. For China, we should make full use of this agreement to strengthen our ability to obtain food, continue to strengthen the food security concerns in the follow-up negotiations, and timely amend the relevant laws and regulations.
