歐洲聯盟自由貿易協定的談判：法國觀點

EU FTA Negotiations: A French Perspective

在歐洲聯盟（EU）裡，貿易政策是少數能夠一致的政策。傳統上歐盟向來是世界貿易組織（WTO）與多邊貿易體系的強力支持者，此外，EU也同時在自由貿易協定（FTA）的形式下進行雙邊或是區域優惠貿易安排。然而這些安排的本質隨著歐盟的目標改變而持續變化。目前EU的貿易政策是種含括經貿動機與政治動機的多層次（multi-layered）的政策。本文的目的在檢視歐盟自由貿易協定政策發生改變的原因，並理解歐盟自由貿易協定的策略。本文並嘗試提供政策建議與對這些自由貿易協定的觀察。

In the European Union, trade policy is one of the very few genuinely common policies. It is of the exclusive competence of the Commission , and its scope has been recently broadened since, as a result of the Lisbon Treaty, investment issues now also fall under the remit of EU trade policy. While the EU has been traditionally a strong supporter of the multilateral trading system and of the WTO, it has also often engaged in bilateral or regional preferential trading arrangements under the form of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). But the nature of these arrangements has changed over time in line with shifting objectives of the EU.
