論美歐FTAs數字產品非歧視待遇規制模式

The Regulating Model of the Non-discriminatory Treatment of Digital Products in the U.S and Europe FTAs

在全球數字治理進程中，區域貿易協定下的數字經貿規則在推動數字法治的同時，受制於其孤島化與碎片化的固有特性，難以避免地圍繞著區域貿易主導國的經濟訴求，相繼形成區域性的數字貿易規則模板。數字產品非歧視待遇領域也不例外，無論是獨立條款下的美式規制模式，還是普通條款下的歐式規制模式，其規則偏好的本質都是國家利益訴求的差異化。因此，當我國面對這兩種截然相反的規制進路時，結合條款本身的前瞻性與國家數字經濟發展戰略，可以得出我國應當選擇獨立的數字產品非歧視待遇條款的結論，並通過例外條款的具體適用分析，實現對數字產品開放與保護並濟的雙重目標。

In the process of global digital governance, the digital economic and trade rules under regional trade agreements, while promoting the digital rule of law, are subject to their inherent characteristics of islanding and fragmentation, and inevitably form regional digital trade rule templates based on the economic demands of leading regional trade countries. The field of non-discriminatory treatment of digital products is no exception, whether it is the American template under the independent terms, or the European template under the ordinary terms, the essence of the preference of the rules is the differentiation of national interest demands. Therefore, when China is faced with these two diametrically opposite regulatory approaches, combining the forward-looking provisions and the national digital economy development strategy, we can draw the conclusion that China should choose an independent non-discriminatory treatment clause for digital products, and achieve the dual goals of opening up and protecting digital products and economy through the specific application of the exception clause.
