东博会上结出中国—东盟质检合作的硕果

□ 文/本刊记者 陈丽冰

第五届中国—东盟质检部长会议

坐落于中越边境友谊镇卡凤村上有一座总建筑面积约11万平方米的国检试验区，那里有区别于一般贸易的边民互市贸易检验检疫电子监管平台，报检全流程实现无纸化；综合辐照系统每小时可处理30吨货物，比传统方式更安全、快捷；同时，监控系统还可对凭祥辖区内的其他边民互市点进行实时监控与指挥，提高货物通关效率。这便是中国第一个边贸国检试验区——凭祥(卡凤)国检试验区。

2016年9月10日，凭祥(卡凤)国检试验区在第五届中国—东盟质检部长会议上揭牌成立，以创新、实用和可操作性的方式，打破了检验检疫几十年来对边境贸易监管的常规惯用做法，在确保疫病疫情和质量安全风险可控的前提下，促进边境贸易“快验快放”和“优进优出”，从而助力打造中国—东盟质量安全命运共同体。

凭祥(卡凤)国检试验区可以说是中国与东盟在创新质检合作方式的一个缩影。近年来，中国—东盟质检合作虽然取得了明显的成效，但随着中国—东盟自贸区建设步伐的加快，中国与东盟之间的经贸和人员往来日益频繁，双方贸易背后潜在的食品安全风险、公共卫生风险等也在加大，从而给中国—东盟产品质量监督和检验检疫带来了巨大的挑战。为此，进一步完善双方质检合作对话与合作机制，深入推进质量安全法规、标准、信息和人员培训等方面的合作也就成了中国与东盟各国的共同愿望和责任。

在此背景下，为中国—东盟自贸区建设量身定制的中国—东盟博览会自创办起，也为中国—东盟质检合作搭建了务实有效的平台，护航中国—东盟自贸区的产品质量、食品安全，维护19亿消费者的切身利益。

2006年，首届中国—东盟出入境检验检疫合作论坛在第3届东博会期间举办，由此拉开了双方质检合作的序幕；2007年10月28～29日，首届中国—东盟质检部长会议在第4届东博会期间举行，会议就加强中国—东盟食品安全合作提出倡议，达成《南宁联合宣言》，标志着中国—东盟质检部长级磋商机制的正式启动；在第8届东博会上，中国—东盟质检部长会议又建立了中国和东盟在TBT（技术性贸易壁垒）和SPS（动物与植物卫生检疫）两个领域的部长级磋商机制，对全面开启中国—东盟在标准、技术法规等合格评定领域的合作具有重要的里程碑意义。

不仅如此，为了让中国—东盟质检合作更加务实、有效，以实现2020年双边贸易额达到一万亿美元，于2016年9月10日举办的第五届中国—东盟质检部长会议上，中国与东盟各国还形成了《第五届中国—东盟质检部长会议(SPS合作)联合声明》、《2017-2018行动计划》等一系列重要成果文件，以及举行了中国—东盟边境贸易国检试验区揭牌仪式、中国—东盟检验检疫电子证书合作授钥仪式、中国—东盟动植物疫病疫情联防联控大数据平台启动仪式。

近年来，在这些部长级合作机制的框架下，中国与东盟不仅建立了高层质检合作机制，加强了质检的协商与对话，同时也让双方得以构建“国家高层—部委办局—基础环节”的跨国质检合作。如今，推动中国与东盟之间质检认证技术交流与互认的中国—东盟质检中心，以及促进中国—东盟边境贸易的凭祥(卡凤)国检试验区已陆续成立；而由中国计量院东盟研究中心与广西质监部门正在援助的柬埔寨计量中心建设目前也在落实当中。

可以说，从高层决策到地方行动计划的实施，从信息通报和交流到各方人员互访、举办培训，借助东博会的平台，中国—东盟质检合作正日趋走向机制化、制度化和规范化，为双方开展更深入的经贸合作铺平了道路。正如中国国家质检总局局长支树平所言：“在中国—东盟经贸关系发展进程中，质检工作扮演了重要角色，双方质检SPS合作已经成为中国—东盟友好合作和战略伙伴关系的重要组成部分。”

C hina-ASEAN Pilot Zone for Border Trade Inspection (CAPZBTI), with an area of 110,000 square meters, is located in Kafeng, Pingxiang bordered to Vietnam. The pilot zone has adopted E-platform for border trade inspection and quarantine and paperless customs inspection, the irradiation system of which can handle 30 tons of cargos per hour and the supervision system can also monitor and command other border trade points. The E-platform boasts easier, safer irradiation, and higher clearance efficiency.

CAPZBTI was unveiled at the China-ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on September 10, 2016. The pilot zone enjoys higher inspection and clearance efficiency, border trade quality than those of the conventional supervision for border trade, and thus to create a China-ASEAN community of shared future in terms of quality safety.

The pilot zone, as it were, is a miniature of China-ASEAN innovative cooperation in the quality inspection and quarantine. In recent years, though tangible effects have been attained in the China-ASEAN cooperation in the quality inspection and quarantine, the risks in food security and sanitary are higher due to the increasing economic cooperation and personnel exchanges between China and ASEAN, which poses a great challenge to the China-ASEAN cooperation in the quality inspection and quarantine. To improve the dialogue and cooperation mechanism, both ASEAN and China share the common will and responsibility to boost the cooperation in relevant laws and regulation on quality security, standards, information and personnel training.

In this context, CAEXPO has long been a pragmatic and effective platform for the China-ASEAN cooperation in the quality inspection and quarantine, guaranteeing the product quality and food safety in the CAFTA and thus protecting the interests of 1.9 billion consumers.

The first China-ASEAN Forum on Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine was held during the 3rdCAEXPO in 2006, marking the beginning of the China-ASEAN cooperation in the quality inspection and quarantine. At the first China-ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on October 28-29, 2007 in conjunction with 4thCAEXPO, both sides initiated that cooperation on food safety should be strengthened. On this basis, both sides finally signed theNanning Joint Declaration, marking the official launching of the China-ASEAN ministerial consultation mechanism. At the 8thCAEXPO, the ministerial consultation mechanism expanded to cover cooperation on TBT and SPS, being of great significance in China-ASEAN cooperation in conformity assessment areas involving standards and technical regulations.

In addition, to make bilateral cooperation more pragmatic and effective and to realize the goal of US$ 1 trillion of the bilateral trade volume by 2020, China and ASEAN signed a series of important documents including theJoint Statement on Fifth China-ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (SPS Cooperation)andAction Plan 2017-2018, built CAPZBTI, shared the electronic certificate for China-ASEAN Inspection and Quarantine and launched the Big Data Platform of China-ASEAN Joint Prevention and Control of Animal and Plant Diseases.

Thanks to cooperation mechanisms at ministerial level, China and ASEAN have built high-level cooperation mechanism for quality inspection and quarantine and strengthened relevant consultation and dialogue and boosted cross-border quality inspection cooperation at the state, ministerial and primary levels. At present, China-ASEAN Quality Inspection Center, which is designed for boosting Quality Inspection Technical Exchanges and Mutual Recognition, and CAPZBTI have been built. With the support from National Institute of Metrology, China and quality inspection departments of Guangxi, Cambodia Center of Measurement is under construction.

By virtue of the CAEXPO functioning ranging from the decision-making level to the subordinate level, from information notification to personnel training and exchanges, China-ASEAN cooperation in quality inspection grows increasingly mature in terms of mechanism, institution and regulation, paving the way for further bilateral economic cooperation. Zhi Shuping, Director General of Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), said that quality inspection has been playing a crucial role in China-ASEAN economic development, and China-ASEAN SPS cooperation has been an important part of China-ASEAN friendly cooperation and partnership.”
