Whats the World Trade Organization(5)

世贸有"成员".关贸总协定有"缔约方"，强调了关贸总协定正式而言是一个法律文本。

　　The WTO has "members". GATT had "contracting parties", underscoring the fact that officially GATT was a legal text.

　　关贸总协定管的是货物贸易，世贸还管服务贸易和知识产权。

　　GATT dealt with trade in goods. The WTO covers services and intellectual property as well.

　　世贸争端解决体系较关贸总协定更迅速，更主动，其裁决不受阻挠。

　　The WTO dispute settlement system is faster, more automatic than the old GATT system. Its rulings cannot be blocked.

　　二、WTO小知识点：

　　国民待遇——给予外国人和本国人一样的待遇。

　　National treatment——giving others the same treatment as one's own nationals

　　诸边协议——指几个世贸成员之间，而非全体成员之间签署的协议，如《民用航空器协议》（ Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft）和《政府采购协议》 （Agreement on Government Procurement）。

　　Plurilaterals——signed by only a few WTO members rather than all
