Each
Member
shall
eliminate
all
TRIMs
which
are
notified
under
paragraph 1
within
two years of the date of entry into
force of the WTO Agreement in the case of a
developed country
Member, within five
years in the case of a developing country Member,
and within seven years in the
case of a
least-developed country Member.

每一成员均应取消根据第
1
款进行通知
的所有
TRIMs
，发达国家成员应在《
WTO
协定》生效之
日起
2
年内取消，发展中国家成员应在
5
年内取消，最
不发达国家成员应在
7

3.
On
request,
the
Council
for
Trade
in
Goods
may
extend
the
transition
period
for
the
elimination of TRIMs notified under
paragraph 1 for a developing country Member,
including a least-
developed country
Member, which demonstrates particular difficulties
in implementing the provisions
of
this
Agreement.
In
considering
such
a
request,
the
Council
for
Trade
in
Goods
shall
take
into
account the individual development,
financial and trade needs of the Member in
question.
3.
如一发展中国家成员，包括
一最不发达国家成员可证明其在实施本协定规定方面存在特殊困
难，则货物贸易理事会可
应请求延长其取消根据第
1
款进行通知的
TRIMs
的过渡期。在考虑该请求
时，货物贸易理事会应考
虑所涉成员特殊的发展、财政和贸易需要。

During
the
transition
period,
a
Member
shall
not
modify
the
terms
of
any
TRIM
which
it
notifies under paragraph 1 from those
prevailing at the date of entry into force of the
WTO Agreement
so as to increase the
degree of inconsistency with the provisions of
Article 2. TRIMs introduced less
than
180 days before the date of entry into force of
the WTO Agreement shall not benefit from the
transitional arrangements provided in
paragraph 2.

在过渡期内，一成员
不得修改根据第
1
款进行通知的任何
T
RIM
的条件，使之不同于《
WTO
协
定》生效之日通行的条件，从而增加其与第
2
< br>条规定不一致的程度。在《
WTO
协定》生效之日前
180
天内采用的
TRIMs
不能获得第
2
款规定的过渡期安排的利益。
5.
Notwithstanding
the
provisions
of
Article 2,
a
Member,
in
order
not
to
disadvantage
established
enterprises which are subject to a TRIM notified
under paragraph 1, may apply during the
transition period the same TRIM to a
new investment (
i
) where the
products of such investment are
like
products to those of the established enterprises,
and (
ii
) where necessary to
avoid distorting the
conditions of
competition between the new investment and the
established enterprises. Any TRIM so
applied to a new investment shall be
notified to the Council for Trade in Goods. The
terms of such a
TRIM shall be
equivalent in their competitive effect to those
applicable to the established enterprises,
and it shall be terminated at the same
time.
5.
尽管有第
2
条的规定，但是一成员为不使受根据第
1
款进行通知的一项
TRIM
约束的
已建企业
处于不利地位，在
(i)
该新
投资的产品与已建企业的产品属同类产品，且
(ii)
在有必要
避免扭曲新投
资与现有企业之间竞争条件的情况下，仍可在过渡期内对新投资实施相同的
TRIM
。任何如此对新投资
实施的<
/p>
TRIM
均应通知货物贸易理事会。该
T
RIM
的条件在竞争效果上应与适用于已建企业的
TRIM
的
条件相同，并应同时终止。
