Over time, the EU objected to recognizing China "market economy status" rise of a voice. The origin of the problem, China 2001 "accession" when signing the Protocol on China's accession to WTO (the accession to the Protocol).

In accordance with the relevant provisions, members of the WTO to China as a "non-market economy countries" against China "special protection measures" and special anti-dumping, anti-subsidy policy. This long plagued Chinese enterprises also become a big problem. In accordance with the provisions of the Protocol of accession, however, the "non-market economy countries" related articles should be terminated on December 11, 2016.

"In legal terms, this clause is called a ' sunset clause '. In other words, according to the agreement, no matter what happens, until December 11, 2016, this provision should be automatically terminated. "In talks with Merkel on the morning of June 13, Li keqiang said solemnly," I am the law, please understand, I can't say violate legal principles. We need the international community to respect international law, international rules and the rules of business, so as to make our cooperation forward in a stable orbit. ”

"If we need for this clause to renegotiate, then we still have to renegotiate on the issue of China's accession to WTO? "He asked.

After the talks, the two Prime Ministers were seen reporters, China and Germany two reporters's questions also focused on the issue. In answer, Li reiterated that China is not a market economy country, which is determined by China's national conditions. China's achievements in promoting market-oriented reforms have also been acknowledged worldwide. While section 15th of the Protocol of accession commitments, including EU trade friction, are all different aspects of the problem, should be discussed separately.

"The Chancellor and I have a common understanding, just can't let our differences ' out of control ', more unnecessary expansion and complex trade disputes. Trade accounted for only a small proportion of the Sino-German relations. "At this point, he stretched out his right hand's thumb and forefinger, laying out a" very small "gestures," we can be frank, meet each other halfway, constant consensus, properly resolve frictions, expand our common interests. ”

He stressed that China does not want a trade war, as in the case of a weak recovery in the world economy, trade wars "to whose disadvantage."

Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel, in response to reporters ' questions, made it clear: "I represent Deffand reiterated, we remember the commitments made that year, and that won't change. If the 15th Protocol related content cannot be terminated on time, not good for everybody. ”

Merkel said that the European Commission had to recognize its obligations, are trying to propose solutions. Both sides will further talks at the professional level, and find a solution that conforms to WTO rules.

She said: "Germany is ready to promote the European Commission intensify consultations with China, results achieved during the year. ”

李克强：中国入世后履行了对世贸组织承诺|市场经济|李克强_新闻资讯

　　原标题：李克强：“市场经济地位”与履行《加入议定书》第15条承诺义务是两个层面的问题

　　“‘市场经济地位’与履行《加入议定书》第15条承诺义务是两个层面的问题。”李克强总理6月13日中午与德国总理默克尔在共见记者时十分明确地表示，“中国‘入世’后，在开放市场方面已经做出了很大努力，履行了对世贸组织的承诺，现在欧盟等相关各方也应履行承诺。”

　　近一段时期以来，欧盟方面反对承认中国“市场经济地位”的声音又有所抬头。而这一问题的起源，是中国2001年“入世”时签署的《中国加入WTO议定书》（简称《加入议定书》）。

　　根据相关条款，WTO成员方将中国视为“非市场经济国家”，对中国实行“特殊保障措施”和特殊的反倾销、反补贴政策。这也成为长期困扰中国企业的一大难题。然而按照《加入议定书》规定，“非市场经济国家”相关条款应于2016年12月11日终止。

　　“用法律专业术语讲，这个条款叫作‘落日条款’。也就是说，根据协议，无论发生什么情况，到2016年12月11日，这个条款都要自动终止。”在6月13日上午与默克尔的会谈中，李克强郑重说，“我是学法律的，请你理解，我不能说违背法律原则的话。我们需要在国际社会中尊重国际法、国际规则和由此制定的商业规则，这样才能使我们之间的合作在稳定的轨道上前进。”

　　“如果我们现在对这个条款还需要重新谈判，那我们是不是还要重新谈判关于中国加入WTO的问题？”李克强的反问道。

　　会谈结束后，两位总理共见记者时，中国和德国两位记者的提问同样聚焦在这一议题。李克强在回答中重申，中国是不是市场经济国家，这由中国的国情决定。中国推进市场化改革所取得的成就也已为世界公认。但履行《加入议定书》第15条承诺义务，包括中欧贸易摩擦，都是不同层面的问题，应该分开讨论。

　　“我和默克尔总理有一个共同认识，就是不能让我们之间的分歧‘失控’，更没有必要把一些贸易纠纷扩大化、复杂化。贸易摩擦在中德关系中只占很小一部分。”讲到这里，李克强伸出右手的大拇指和食指，摆出了一个“很小”的手势，“我们可以坦诚相待、相向而行，不断凝聚共识，妥善解决摩擦，扩大我们的共同利益。”

　　他随即强调，中国不希望打贸易战，因为在世界经济复苏乏力的情况下，贸易战“对谁都不利”。

　　德国总理默克尔在回答两国记者提问时明确表态：“我代表德方重申，我们很清楚记得当年作出的承诺，不会动摇。如果议定书第15条相关内容不能按时终止，对谁都没有好处。”

　　默克尔表示，欧盟委员会已经认清了自己的义务，正在努力提出解决方案。双方将在专业层面开展进一步会谈，找到符合WTO规则的解决方案。

　　她说：“德国愿推动欧盟委员会同中方加紧磋商，于年内取得结果。”
