Abstract: | 在簽訂雙邊投資協議的趨勢下,兩岸於民國101年8月簽訂了《兩岸投資保障及促進協議》。本協議之特色之一,在於爭端解決機制之安排:除了現行雙邊投資協議所包含的國與國間、投資人與地主國間之爭端解決條款外,本協議亦涵蓋了私人間的投資商務糾紛。其中,投資人與地主國間爭端解決條款之研究為中心。
本文首先就兩岸就對外投資及外來投資之政策變化與態度轉變、兩岸相互投資歷史,及台商在大陸投資時所遇到的糾紛與困難加以闡述。接著介紹《兩岸投資保障及促進協議》之簽訂過程與其內容、特色。 為對投資人與地主國間爭端解決規範有詳盡的瞭解,本文就現行雙邊投資協議規範下所解決之爭端類型、所提供之解決爭端途徑及其架構等三方面進行分析。在了解現行雙邊投資協議之相關規範後,提出大陸與台灣在與其他國家簽訂之雙邊投資協議下此等規範。最後著墨於兩岸過往協議爭端解決之安排提出兩岸爭端解決。 《兩岸投資保障及促進協議》第十三條係投資人地主國間爭端解決條款。就第十三條,本文提出三個面向的討論及疑問:其一,那些爭端是在本條之涵蓋範圍;其二,本條所提供之五種爭端解決機制,能否提供能拘束雙方之結果;其三,五種爭端解決機制中,是否有公正第三人的加入。作者藉由與先前提出同類規範之比較及單就本條文之解釋兩種方法,嘗試在現行架構下就前諸問題提出可能解套。 此協議的簽訂是兩岸共同努力的成果,能有效適用協議中各規範是肯認協議的最好方法。本文針對投資人地主國間爭端解決條款提出潛在問題與解決之道,希冀能藉此對第十三條之運作有些許貢獻。 In the trend of signing bilateral investment treaties, Cross-Strait Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement (the Agreement) entered into its signatory in August 2012. One of the special features of the Agreement is its dispute settlement regime. It includes not only State-State and Investor-State ones, but also includes Private-Private ones. In the thesis, the author emphasized on the disputes settlement clause between an investor of one Contracting Party and the other one. In Chapter Two, focus is fixed on the bilateral investment both in terms of policy perspective and statistic point of view. Other issues raised under this Chapter are way of resolving disputes in the past, and problems or difficulties Taiwanese investors encountered. The last section in this Chapter is the introductory notes to the Agreement, both in its content and the highlights of this Agreement. Turning to Chapter Three, Investor-State dispute settlement provisions in modern BITs are firstly introduced. Analysis conducted on these dispute settlement provisions are on three perspectives: subject matter, and that channels are provided to resolve investment disputes and the structure of such provisions. Attention is then shifted to the Investor-State dispute settlement provisions in cross-strait practices. Furthermore, agreements concluded between China and Taiwan are examined on the arrangements of dispute settlement mechanism. In Chapter Four, analysis is conducted on Article 13 (Settlement of Disputes Between an Investor and the Host Party) of the Agreement. Three issues are discussed in this Chapter. The first one is the subject matter of this clause. The second issue is the non-binding force of five dispute settlement channels provided in Article 13. The last issue is in regard to the involvement of neutral third party. The next Chapter focuses on possible enhancement in Article 13’s operation responding to the issues brought about in Chapter Four. By means of interpreting Art. 13 and making comparison between Art. 13 and other Investor-State dispute settlement provisions, the author proposes possible ways to facilitate the function of Art. 13. Riding on the train of signatory to BITs, the two sides across the strait have endeavor much effort from negotiation, drafting, until the born of the Agreement. And this is indeed a remarkable step for both China and Taiwan. The thesis puts forwards some potential issues and doubts, later on tries to response to these issues raised. There is limitation to the thesis, but hopefully by proposing ideas in solving potential problems, there would be contribution to the actual function of Art. 13. |
