亚太经合组织第二十二次领导人非正式会议宣言（附件一）（中英对照）

Bearing in mind the above, we agree to undertake the following actions while pursuing the conclusion of initiatives considered as potential building blocks of the FTAAP:

在以上共识基础上，我们同意在尽快完成亚太自贸区可能路径的同时，采取以下行动：

– Launch a collective strategic study on issues related to the realization of the FTAAP by building on and updating existing studies and past work, providing an analysis of potential economic and social benefits and costs, performing a stocktake of RTAs/FTAs in force in the region, analyzing the various pathways towards the FTAAP, assessing impacts of the “spaghetti bowl” phenomenon on economies, identifying trade and investment barriers, identifying challenges economies may face in realizing the FTAAP, and considering any recommendations based on the study’s findings. The CTI Friends of the Chair Group on Strengthening REI and Advancing FTAAP, led by member economies, will organize and lead a task force to undertake the study and will seek contributions from interested APEC economies, the APEC Policy Support Unit, ABAC, PECC and APEC Study Centers. The linkage with the second term review of Bogor Goals will be strengthened while carrying out this study. The CTI and SOM will review progress annually, finalize the report, along with any recommendations, arrived at by consensus, and submit them to Ministers and Leaders by the end of 2016.

在已有工作基础上，启动实现亚太自贸区有关问题的联合战略研究，分析亚太自贸区潜在经济影响和社会效益，盘点区域已生效的自贸协定，分析实现亚太自贸区的各个可能路径，评估“面条碗”效应的影响，找出贸易投资壁垒，明确经济体在实现亚太自贸区过程中可能遇到的困难，并基于研究结果提出相关建议。由各经济体组成的贸易投资委员会加强区域经济一体化和推进亚太自贸区“主席之友”工作组将牵头组建研究团队，开展这项研究，并从有兴趣的亚太经合组织经济体、亚太经合组织政策支持小组、亚太经合组织工商咨询理事会、太平洋经济合作理事会、亚太经合组织研究中心寻求支持。该研究将加强与茂物目标中期评估的互动。研究进展将每年向贸易投资委员会和高官会报告，最终结论及建议将在协商一致基础上于2016年底前向领导人及部长报告。

– Increase transparency of existing and recently concluded RTAs/FTAs by advancing work under the APEC Information Sharing Mechanism on RTAs/FTAs. This will support cooperation on the realization of the FTAAP, and encourage economies to organize supporting policy dialogues and other information sharing activities under this mechanism. Increased transparency of existing RTAs/FTAs and better understanding among our economies of possible pathways will contribute to building stakeholder support and lead to the eventual realization of a truly beneficial FTAAP. This mechanism would complement the WTO Transparency Mechanism for Regional Trade Agreements; economies will continue to participate to the fullest extent possible in the WTO Transparency Mechanism. The CTI will review the effectiveness of this mechanism biennially and submit any outcomes to MRT, AMM and AELM.

通过推进亚太经合组织自贸区信息交流机制，提高现有自贸区透明度。这项工作将支持实现亚太自贸区，并鼓励经济体在该机制下开展政策对话和其他信息交流活动。提高现有自贸区透明度和更好地理解可能路径将有助于争取利益相关者的支持，并最终实现一个真正让各方受益的亚太自贸区。这一机制将对世界贸易组织区域贸易协定透明机制进行补充，同时亚太经合组织经济体将继续最大程度地参与世界贸易组织透明机制。贸易投资委员会将每两年对机制有效性进行评估，并将结果报告给贸易部长会议、部长级会议和领导人会议。

– Continue the capacity building activities in pursuit of the FTAAP under the Action Plan Framework of the 2nd Capacity Building Needs Initiative (CBNI). We highly commend the successful implementation of the 1st CBNI in 2012-2014 and encourage more economies to design and conduct capacity building programs for specific sectors as lead economies. The results of the capacity building programs conducted under the 2nd CBNI will be periodically reviewed with the goal of building up economies’ capacity to participate in ongoing regional undertakings and realize the FTAAP.

在第二期亚太自贸区能力建设行动计划框架下继续开展能力建设活动。我们高度赞赏2012年至2014年第一期亚太自贸区能力建设行动计划的成功实施，并鼓励更多经济体担任牵头经济体设计和实施具体部门的能力建设项目。亚太经合组织将定期审议第二期能力建设计划的进展，以提高经济体参与现有区域贸易安排和最终实现亚太自贸区的能力。

– Accelerate “at the border” trade liberalization and facilitation efforts, improve the business environment “behind the border”, and enhance regional connectivity “across the border”. This includes advancing initiatives in areas such as investment, services, e-commerce, rules of origin, global value chain, supply chain connectivity, customs cooperation, environmental goods and services, good regulatory practices, as well as next generation trade and investment issues that the FTAAP should contain. APEC will continue to support and foster cooperation in these areas to ensure that member economies can effectively benefit from such initiatives in its continuing contribution to realizing the FTAAP.

加快“边界上”贸易自由化和便利化努力，改善“边界后”商业环境，促进“跨边界”区域互联互通。这包括推进在投资、服务、电子商务、原产地规则、全球价值链、供应链联接、海关合作、环境产品和服务、良好规制以及亚太自贸区应涵盖的下一代贸易投资议题等领域的合作倡议。亚太经合组织将继续支持和促进这些领域合作，以确保成员经济体在推进亚太自贸区建设的同时，从这些倡议合作中真正受益。

– Strengthen engagement with the business sector via the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) and other direct routes. We will intensify efforts to strengthen APEC public-private sector dialogues on the promotion of regional economic growth, integration and an improved business environment. ABAC input on issues expected to impact the region’s economic growth and development over the longer term will be used to advance work towards the realization of the FTAAP.

通过亚太经合组织工商咨询理事会和其他渠道加强工商界参与。我们将努力加强亚太经合组织公私部门在促进区域经济增长、一体化和改善商业环境方面的对话。亚太经合组织工商咨询理事会在区域经济长期增长和发展方面的投入将被用于推进亚太自贸区。

We will pursue the FTAAP with a step-by-step, consensus-based approach, and affirm our commitment to the eventual realization of the FTAAP as early as possible by building on ongoing regional undertakings, which will contribute significantly to sustained growth and overall prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. We are steadfast in supporting regional economic integration and increasing global trade and investment, including through this Roadmap. We are determined to demonstrate APEC’s leadership and commitment to shaping the future of the region with a strong Asia-Pacific Partnership.

我们将循序渐进、按照协商一致原则推进亚太自贸区，并重申在现有区域贸易安排基础上尽快实现亚太自贸区的承诺。这将极大地促进亚太地区经济可持续增长和共同繁荣。我们将坚定支持区域经济一体化和增加全球贸易投资，并采取诸如本路线图的措施。我们愿借此显示亚太经合组织的领导作用和共建面向未来的、牢不可破的亚太伙伴关系的承诺。
