Miti: ART clause applied in line with law, governance standards and international commitments
摘要
马来西亚投资、贸易及工业部表示，政府对《互惠贸易协定》第6.2条的解释符合良好治理实践、商业活动公平竞争原则及国际义务。相关承诺的解读均与联邦宪法、国内法律及国家社会经济政策保持一致。该条款并非完全禁止所有形式的政府支持，为履行公共服务义务而提供的援助是允许的，包括国家发展需求、安全需要和社会考量，这些不被视为不公平扭曲竞争的非商业援助。
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 — The government interprets Article 6.2 of the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) in a manner consistent with good governance practices, the principles of fair competition in commercial activities, and Malaysia’s international obligations.
The Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (MITI) said all commitments under ART are interpreted in alignment with the Federal Constitution, domestic legislation and national socio-economic policies.
“However, this clause does not impose an absolute prohibition on all forms of government support.
“Government assistance that is specifically provided to fulfil public service obligations is permitted,” MITI said in a written reply to the Dewan Rakyat published on the Parliament website yesterday.
This includes national development requirements, security needs and social considerations, which are allowed as they are not regarded as non-commercial assistance that unfairly distorts competition.
MITI was responding to a question from Mohd Syahir Che Sulaiman (PN–Bachok) on how the government interprets and implements Article 6.2 of the Malaysia–US Agreement on Reciprocal Trade. — Bernama
