摘要


科技變遷帶動通訊技術革新後,新興傳輸技術使視聽服務提供模式更為多元、複雜、便捷,視聽服務部門成為承受數位匯流著力甚深的部門之一,對於面臨科技衝擊的視聽服務部門而言,究竟應如何適用WTO規範,並非毫無疑義。長久以來,視聽服務部門為文化與貿易價值衝突交鋒最前線,從而當數位匯流發展使各國視聽文化流動頻繁,使兩者更易產生齟齬,如何調和貿易與文化便成為新科技時代亟待解決之課題。 本文旨在研究數位匯流趨勢下,WTO承諾規範於視聽服務之適用。針對視聽服務部門承諾規範之範圍作一界定,以釐清數位匯流時代視聽服務應適用哪些規範?以及哪些視聽服務須受規範?接著,在相關規範的適用上,一方面正面肯認會員得因文化需求而採取相關管制措施,然另方面為防免濫用情形,應對允准之範圍設定明確要件與審查標準。 本文先就視聽服務之內涵加以介紹,並論及視聽服務與文化之密切連結,接著討論數位匯流此時代背景對於視聽服務之影響,並點出視聽服務部門所面臨之問題,以及吾人應採取之原則與立場。針對現行規範適用範圍上的疑點,試圖提出解決方案;再從現行法操作與GATS規則談判,分別探討如何適用視聽服務承諾規範,使追求多元文化保護之際,不致於犧牲視聽服務部門自由化利益。最後於WTO視聽服務部門如何迎向數位匯流衝擊,提出一己之見解。

並列摘要


Newly-developed telecommunication technology brings about plurality, complexity and convenience in providing audiovisual services, making audiovisual sector one of most heavily influenced sectors in WTO by digital convergence. Thus, how WTO regulations apply to this sector remains to be clarified. Moreover, digital convergence exemplifies the conflict between cultural values and trade interest. An immediate solution is indeed in need. This thesis aims at seeking the solution by following steps. It begins with the definition of audiovisual services and its relation with culture. Then, it introduces the concept of digital convergence, explores its impact on audiovisual services, specifies the problems and indicates how to deal with those problems in principle. In order to clarify the scope of audiovisual commitments, it tries to answer “who” should be regulated, “what” regulations should be applied, and “how” they should be applied. Nevertheless, those regulations should ensure Members’ right to adopt measures for cultural protection while requires appropriate standards of review to prevent from abuse. Finally, a proposed approach of reformation is provided.
