Joint Ministerial Statement

Foreword

1. We, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministers, met on 7-8 November 2014, in Beijing, China. The meeting was co-chaired by H.E. Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, and H.E. Gao Hucheng, Minister of Commerce of the People's Republic of China.

2. We assembled under the theme of “Shaping the Future through Asia-Pacific Partnership”, and focused on three priority areas, Advancing Regional Economic Integration, Promoting Innovative Development, Economic Reform and Growth, and Strengthening Comprehensive Connectivity and Infrastructure Development. We held substantial discussions on the economic situation in the region, the changing global and regional landscape, the challenges and opportunities for APEC member economies, and the vision for APEC cooperation.

3. We are committed to taking concrete steps and joint actions to foster Asia-Pacific partnership, strengthen the role of APEC, and contribute to the long-term development and common prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region, with the goal of ensuring the role of the Asia-Pacific region as the engine for global economic growth.

4. We welcome the participation in the meeting of the Director General of the WTO, the Chair of the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), the Deputy Secretary General of ASEAN, the co-chairs of the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC), and the representative of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF).

5. We pledge to take the following actions:

Advancing Regional Economic Integration

6. We endorse the 2014 APEC Committee on Trade and Investment (CTI) Annual Report to Ministers.

Supporting the Multilateral Trading System

7. We reaffirm our confidence in the value of the multilateral trading system and stand firmly to strengthen the rules-based, transparent, non-discriminatory, open and inclusive multilateral trading system as embodied in the WTO.

8. We highly commend the Bali Package achieved at the 9th Ministerial Conference (MC9) in Bali, Indonesia. We express our grave concern regarding the impasse in the implementation of the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) which has resulted in stalemate and uncertainties over other Bali decisions. These developments have affected the credibility of the WTO negotiating function. In finding solutions to the implementation of the Bali decisions, APEC will exert creative leadership and energy together with all WTO members in unlocking this impasse, putting all Bali decisions back on track, and proceeding with the formulation of Post-Bali Work Program, as a key stepping stone to concluding the Doha Round.

9. Bearing in mind that open markets are vital for economic growth, job creation and sustainable development, we reaffirm our commitment and recommend that our Leaders extend a standstill until the end of 2018, and roll back protectionist and trade-distorting measures. We remain committed to exercising maximum restraint in implementing measures that may be consistent with WTO provisions but have a significant protectionist effect， and to promptly rectifying such measures, where implemented. In this context, we support the work of the WTO and other international organizations in monitoring protectionism.

10. We recognize that bilateral, regional and plurilateral trade agreements can play an important role in complementing global liberalization initiatives. We will continue to work together to ensure that they contribute to strengthening the multilateral trading system. We underscore the importance of the negotiations to expand the product coverage of the Information Technology Agreement (ITA). A final ITA expansion outcome should be commercially significant, credible, pragmatic, balanced, and reflective of the dynamic technological developments in the information technology sector over the last 17 years, and contribute to the multilateral trading system. We welcome APEC’s leadership in advancing the negotiations. We welcome the launch of negotiations on Environmental Goods Agreement (EGA) in July 2014 in Geneva. We encourage participants of the

2

above initiatives to seek expanded memberships.

Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP)

11. In order to translate the FTAAP from a vision to reality, we agree to kick off and advance the process in a comprehensive and systematic manner towards the eventual realization of the FTAAP. We adopt the Beijing Roadmap for APEC’s Contribution to the Realization of the FTAAP which demonstrates APEC’s leadership and commitment to regional economic integration and provides a pragmatic guide to advance work towards the FTAAP in a step-by-step approach, with the goal of establishing the FTAAP as early as possible by building on ongoing regional undertakings. We instruct officials to undertake the actions identified in the roadmap while pursuing the conclusion of initiatives considered as potential building blocks of the FTAAP.

12. We agree to launch a collective strategic study on issues related to the realization of the FTAAP and adopt the Outline of this Study. This study will be built on previous analytical work in APEC, and aim to analyze a wide range of options for expanding Asia-Pacific trade and investment with contributions and support from ABAC, PECC and APEC Study Centers. We instruct the CTI Friends of the Chair Group on Strengthening REI and Advancing FTAAP to organize and lead a task force to undertake the study and report the result to us by the end of 2016.

13. We welcome the establishment of an APEC Information Sharing Mechanism on RTAs/FTAs, and encourage officials to advance work under this mechanism and to report back to us in 2015. We welcome the progress achieved under the Action Plan Framework on Capacity Building Needs Initiatives (CBNI) and endorse the Action Plan Framework of the 2nd CBNI. We instruct Senior Officials to take steps to ensure the effective implementation of the 2nd CBNI.

Bogor Goals

14. In 1994, APEC Leaders announced the commitment to achieve the goal of free and open trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific, with APEC's industrialized economies to achieve the goal by 2010 and developing economies by 2020. Today, as we gather in Beijing, we remain committed to this core mission. We commit to upholding APEC’s role towards achieving the Bogor Goals by 2020. We urge all economies, particularly developed economies, to deeply consider the outcomes of the Report on APEC's 2010 Economies' Progress towards the Bogor Goals and the 2012 and 2014 Bogor Goals Progress Reports, and to take more concrete actions towards attaining the Bogor Goals.

15. We take note on the progress of the study on promoting trade in products which contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth through rural development and

3

poverty alleviation. We look forward to the final report by early 2015.

Global Value Chain (GVC)

16. Recognizing that Global Value Chains (GVCs) have become a dominant feature of the global economy involving economies at varying levels of development, we agree to take concrete actions to create an enabling environment for GVC development and cooperation while taking into account the different economic circumstances of APEC economies. In this regard, we endorse the APEC Strategic Blueprint for Promoting Global Value Chain Development and Cooperation as a mechanism to strengthen mutual economic cooperation within the global value chain network, and shape a resilient and inclusive future for economic growth through a stronger and closer Asia-Pacific partnership. We welcome the progress made so far, and instruct officials to advance the work through the CTI Friends of the Chair Group on GVCs to put forward new initiatives under this Strategic Blueprint for 2015 and beyond by working closely with related international organizations.

17. We note a proposal to study localization policies in the context of GVCs, and discuss possible ways through which economies can promote job creation and competitiveness.

18. We endorse the Strategic Framework on Measurement of APEC Trade in Value Added (TiVA) under GVCs and the Action Plan on this Strategic Framework. We instruct the newly-established technical group to work closely with related international organizations, with an aim to complete the construction of the APEC TiVA Database by 2018.

19. We endorse the initiative on Promoting SME’s Integration into Global Value Chains in Major Industries. We welcome the voluntary participation of leading economies in the key industrial sectors. We encourage APEC economies to make concerted efforts to bring concrete policy recommendations that can facilitate SME’s integration into GVCs.

We also welcome the establishment of the APEC Alliance for Supply Chain Connectivity (A2C2) and look forward to its contributions to our capacity building work next year.

22. Recognizing the importance of promoting supply chain connectivity through E-port development and collaboration efforts, we endorse the APEC Initiative on Asia-Pacific Model E-port Network and the Terms of Reference of the Asia-Pacific Model E-port Network (APMEN), serving as a brain trust to promote E-port development and cooperation under the principles of mutual benefits and respect. We applaud the nominations from Australia; Canada; China; Hong Kong, China; Mexico; Peru; Chinese Taipei; and Viet Nam of the first batch of APEC Model E-ports to join the APMEN. We agree to set up the APMEN operational center in Shanghai Model E-port, and instruct officials to advance the APMEN cooperation.

23. We positively value the APEC High-Level Roundtable on Green Development held in Tianjin, China in May 2014 and its output, the Declaration of APEC High-Level Roundtable on Green Development. We agree to establish the APEC Cooperation Network on Green Supply Chain to strengthen the capacity building and information sharing on green supply chain and to promote green supply chain cooperation among APEC economies and stakeholders, and to contribute to the green development of the region. We endorse the establishment of the first pilot center of the APEC Cooperation Network on Green Development held in Tianjin, China.

24. Recognising that the wider use of interoperable Global Data Standards (GDS) can bring about broader benefits of efficiency, integrity, visibility and innovation, we encourage officials to further advance their work on GDS, including developing pilot projects, conducting a study and establishing a set of policy-based principles or recommendations for future GDS initiatives.

Annex A

APEC Statement on Promoting the Use of InteroperableGlobal Data Standards

1. In our 2013 declaration, we recognised the contribution that global data standards can make to enhancing supply chain efficiency, and encouraged officials to explore what more can be done to facilitate mutual compatibility amongst data standards frameworks, and the compatibility of economies’ frameworks with the use of global data standards.

2. In any international transaction of goods, a range of information needs to be exchanged between various parties as the goods move along global supply chains. Global data standards can be used to ensure that relevant information is provided in a common format which is easily understood and can potentially be shared by all parties. For example, global data standards underpin the common bar code system and the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System used to classify traded products. We acknowledge the leadership of the private sector in developing global data standards and ABAC’s ongoing support for work within APEC on this subject.

3. As transactions by governments and the private sector become increasingly electronic, it is becoming more important and useful to ensure that systems of the relevant stakeholders are interoperable. As such, we welcome the initial work which officials have undertaken to explore this issue including a workshop and a related trade policy dialogue on global data standards. We note that these activities have established that the wider use of interoperable global data standards can have the following broader benefits:

(a) Efficiency: global data standards can improve the efficiency of supply chains by eliminating unnecessary transactions, and enabling better informed and more accurate risk assessments.

(b) Integrity: global data standards can be used to verify the integrity of a product throughout the supply chain.

(c) Visibility: global data standards can increase the visibility and transparency of supply chain processes.

(d) Innovation: global data standards can provide a platform for innovation by enabling new ways to utilise information through ‘smart’

23

supply chain processes.

4. We also acknowledge that our global data standards activities will make a substantial contribution to the core areas of APEC’s work. This includes our wider objectives on connectivity, global value chains, Bogor Goals andour goalto achieve a 10% improvement in supply chain performance among APEC economies by 2015 including efforts to address key supply chain chokepoints.

5. In recognition of the benefits that flow from wider use of global data standards and the linkages with existing APEC objectives, we instruct officials to further advance work on global data standards by developing pilot projects with the participation of the private sector. These pilot projects will be a practical step to further explore the benefits of global data standards and we encourage APEC economies to participate in these projects in accordance with their own domestic circumstances.

6. Finally, we encourage officials to conduct a study to assess the overall outcome of these pilot projects, and to establish a set of policy-based principles or recommendations which could provide reference for future initiatives on global data standards in APEC economies.

Annex B

APEC Statement on Promoting RCE Trade and Investment

Promoting Renewable and Clean Energy (RCE) trade and investment is crucial for meeting our current and future energy needs. Greater use of RCE will diversify our energy supply and reduce environmental impact. In recent years, the market for RCE has been consistently growing, but various patterns of barriers in cross border trade and investment remain a persistent challenge. In 2014, a Public Private Dialogue on RCE Trade and Investment was held to launch the APEC Public Private Partnership on Environmental Goods and Services (PPEGS), promote RCE trade and investment and increase the utilization of RCE. Based on previous APEC work on RCE and the recommendations of the 1st PPEGS dialogue, bearing in mind the non-binding and voluntary nature of APEC, we agreed to undertake the following:

1. Promote market openness by further addressing trade barriers on RCE products among APEC member economies, work together to fight against all forms of trade protectionism in the RCE sector and deepen our cooperation on monitoring and resisting protectionist measures;

2. Prevent trade frictions in cross border RCE trade and investment by strengthening coordination and cooperation among APEC economies, including by holding public private dialogues regularly and building broader understanding and trust among APEC economies;

3. Promote regulatory coherence and cooperation in areas affecting RCE trade and investment, including by exploring the alignment of standards and certification systems in the RCE industry, to ensure the supply of high quality RCE products in this region;

4. Ensure that all government support and incentive programs aimed at promoting environmental goods and services are transparent and consistent with WTO rules;

5. Strengthen the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights and recognize the importance of comprehensive and balanced intellectual property systems that provide for and protect the incentives that encourage creativity and innovation, and provide substantial support to RCE research and development;

6. Encourage economies to report progress in realizing the objectives of the 2011 Leaders Declaration on Trade and Investment in Environmental Goods and Services on voluntary basis;

7. Encourage RCE technology cooperation amongst APEC economies with a view to contributing to sustainable and inclusive development; and

8. Engage the private sector and academia more deeply and frequently in RCE related policymaking to support APEC cooperation and create more

25

cooperative opportunities for RCE industries among APEC economies.

We are committed to create an enabling environment for RCE trade and investment to contribute to sustainable development and common prosperity in the Asia Pacific region. We direct officials to develop knowledge sharing and capacity-building activities relevant to implementing these actions, including exchanging views, experiences, and best practices to promote RCE trade and investment.

Annex C

APEC Customs 3M Strategic Framework

Customs plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and facilitation of international trade. The APEC Customs Community’s efforts on simplification and harmonization of regional customs procedures has greatly contributed to the reduction of APEC trade transaction costs and improvement in supply chain performance amongst APEC economies. With the conclusion of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement, the reform of Customs procedures will be playing a more proactive and decisive role in the course of attaining Bogor Goals by 2020, injecting fresh momentum into the regional economic integration and trade facilitation.

APEC leaders in 2013 vowed to take measures including promoting Single Window systems to modernize Customs procedures in order to achieve the institutional connectivity thus to reach a seamlessly and comprehensively connected and integrated Asia Pacific. Accordingly, APEC 2013 Tasking Statement (for 2014) has identified the priorities of APEC Customs as improving supply chain connectivity and enhancing Customs procedures with emphasis on Single Window and Authorized Economic Operator. Customs are also tasked to function in people-to-people connection and wildlife trafficking.

To this end, we instruct the senior officials, based on the initiative of “Mutual Recognition of Control, Mutual Assistance of Enforcement and Mutual Sharing of Information”, to promote APEC Customs cooperation in a systematic approach to advance the following pressing tasks that are generally acknowledged by APEC economies:

1. Promoting Connectivity and Trade Facilitation

• Implementation of the WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation(ATF)

Short-term objectives: to update each other on the work done for the implementation of the ATF and share experience in this regard.Long-term objectives: to prepare for the review of the operation and implementation of the ATF which will take place four(4) years after its entry into force, and to explore the possibility of implementing non-binding or best endeavor provisions of the ATF.

• Single Window

27

Short-term objectives: to continue providing capacity building and technical support for member economies to establish and improve their individual Single Window with the least delay possible.Long-term objectives: to realize interoperability of Single Window systems amongst APEC member economies.

• Customs Transit

Short-term objectives: to work on Chokepoint 8, and formulate the guidelines for APEC Customs transit to address issues including lack of harmonization among APEC economies in granting preferential treatment to goods through third-party territories.Long-term objectives: to carry out capacity building, implement Customs transit guidelines, conduct regular evaluations, and set up uniform arrangements of origin certification for transit goods so as to create a facilitated environment for Customs clearance and more foreseeable transit rules for international trade operators, improving the effectiveness and security of the supply chain.

 2. Enhancing Law Enforcement Capacity and Trade Order

• IPR protection

Short-term objectives: to increase technical exchange and experience sharing among members, and improving law enforcement capacity on IPR border protection for Customs of member economies.Long-term objectives: to set up a long-term mechanism for research and training on IPR border protection. 

3. Conducting Closer Cooperation with the Private Sector to Enhance Trade Security

• Authorized Economic Operator (AEO)

Short-term objectives: to continue carrying out capacity building for the economies that have not established the AEO program and further advancing the formulation of the minimum standards for AEO enterprises, including the SMEs.Long-term objectives: to continue the capacity building programs, promote AEO mutual recognition between member economies, and work out the benefit list of the AEO MRA to further facilitate the trade in the Asia-Pacific region.

• Cross-border E-commerceShort-term objectives: to increase the awareness of the risk control in the E-commerce in APEC Customs community and promote the cooperation with the business community by elevating the level of their information exchange on best practices.

28

Long-term objectives: to strengthen cooperation between APEC economies and the private sectors, to encourage self-discipline and compliance from the private sectors, to establish safe and efficient order on cross-border e-commerce so as to promote the economy and trade development in APEC.

 4. Applying Technology to Enhance the Efficiency of the Customs Control

• Manifest Exchange between Land Border Customs

Short-term objectives: to encourage experience exchange between members that have carried out border Customs cooperation.Long-term objectives: to explore the possibility of manifest data exchange between land bordering Customs in APEC region.

 In addition to the above-mentioned key tasks, we support to push forward other ongoing projects including Trade Recovery, Time Release Study, etc. in order to ensure that goods and services move efficiently, effectively and safely through the region. We encourage APEC Customs to work closely with the private sector through the VWG to progress the priorities addressed at the borders.

29

Annex D

Action Agenda on Promoting Infrastructure Investment

Through Public‐Private Partnership (PPP)

The infrastructure investment gap in the APEC region is huge, while governments alone cannot meet the investment requirements for infrastructure. In 2013, APEC endorsed Multi-Year Plan on Infrastructure Development and Investment, setting an important platform to work on infrastructure development and investment. In 2014, China put “Strengthening Comprehensive Development in Infrastructure and Connectivity” as one of the three priorities of APEC 2014.

Well-established infrastructure can facilitate trade and investment in other sectors. It can support supply chain connectivity and reduce trade barriers such as transaction costs for the region. Moreover, it will boost economic growth of both developed and developing economies in the APEC region. Especially, the lack of infrastructure is one key obstacle to the economic development in developing economies, and acts as a constraint to increasing cross-border investment in the APEC region. Extensive economic research shows that although the capital returns in many developing economies are higher than those in the developed economies, capital flow from the developed to the developing economies is less than economic models would suggest. Among many different explanations to this puzzle, the lack of infrastructure of the developing economies and lack of facilitating investment policies are widely accepted reasons.

There are mutual benefits for all the APEC members to cooperate in infrastructure investment, including through PPP. PPP, when suitably designed and fit for purpose, offer a viable alternative to public sector financing of infrastructure development, in that it can improve service quality, optimize use of resources, and alleviates fiscal constraints through sharing risks and responsibilities. At the same time, there is positive externality of one economy's infrastructure on the other economies. Therefore, the economic cooperation among APEC members on infrastructure investment, including through PPP modality, is very desirable.

On August 13th, 2014, IEG Public Private Dialogue on the theme of “Promoting Infrastructure Investment through PPP” was held in Beijing and carried out intensive discussion on PPP in Infrastructure Investment. Based on previous APEC works on PPP in infrastructure investment and recommendations made by the experts and participants at the 2014 IEG PPD, bearing in mind of the non-binding nature of APEC, economies has identified the following actions that will

30

contribute to the overall objectives of APEC cooperation on regional connectivity and infrastructure. Inpursuing these actions, IEG will coordinate with CTI, SFOM and other related APEC sub-fora, in order to prioritize resources and avoid duplication among the ongoing work:

1. Promote continued policy dialogue on methods of financing infrastructure investment, including through the development of open, transparent, and accessible investment climates and by using PPP and other financing mechanisms. Such dialogue can raise awareness and common understanding of APEC economies on the definition, characteristics, merits and challenges of applying PPP modality in infrastructure investment, as well as creating policies conducive to infrastructure investment.

2. Share good policies and practices, build interests among APEC economies in applying PPP modality including innovative financial mechanisms for infrastructure investment, and identify capacity building needs.

3. Accelerate IEG’s work in assembling PPP Guidebook that aims to compile information on the variety of PPP frameworks already put in place by APEC economies. Consider future IEG work to address other mechanisms of facilitating private sector investment in the infrastructure sector including through public-private financing.

4. Take ABAC Enablers of Infrastructure Checklist as a useful reference for economies to enhance government policies and operation to facilitate infrastructure investment through PPP, such as by strengthening government’s capacity in project planning and coordination, building a sound legal and regulatory environment, developing robust PPP models and frameworks, as well as creating and maintaining a transparent investment environment to attract foreign direct investment.

5. Launch capacity building initiatives to address identified impediments in promoting PPP projects in infrastructure development and improve the ability of developing economies to better utilize PPP, develop policies conducive to investment, and facilitate infrastructure development and boost engagement of the private sector. These will be aligned with APEC’s Multi-Year Plan on Infrastructure Development and Investment.

6. Encourage APEC economies to consider establishing functioning, well-trained PPP centers based on their needs and circumstances, to promote PPP as a method for facilitating infrastructure investment, and share experience, cooperate and coordinate on PPP development in the Asia-Pacific region.

7. Strengthen collaboration between APEC economies, ABAC and private

31

sectors, and international organizations such as World Bank, International Monetary Fund, OECD, Asian Development Bank, etc. with a view to sharing project information and enhancing effective deployment of financial and knowledge resources within and beyond the region.8. Enhance analytical work on PPP and promote collaboration among regional academia, including by exploring the potential for establishment of an APEC network of study bases, which could serve as an important analytical framework to promote PPP development and cooperation under the principle of mutual benefit.

9. Continue APEC efforts to identify actions and best practices to develop a policy environment conducive to such investment.

32

Annex E

APEC Strategic Plan on Capacity Building to Promote

Trade and Investment

Background

In 1995, APEC Leaders endorsed The Osaka Action Agenda and instructed to “pursue economic and technical cooperation in order to attain sustainable growth and equitable development in the Asia-Pacific region, while reducing economic disparities among APEC economies and improving economic and social well-being”, and acknowledged that “such efforts will also facilitate the growth of trade and investment in the region”.

In 1996, APEC Leaders endorsed the Subic Declaration and emphasized that as an essential complement to APEC’s trade and investment liberalization agenda, economic and technical cooperation helps APEC members to participate more fully in and benefit from an open global trading environment, thus ensuring that liberalized trade contributes to sustainable growth, equitable development and to a reduction in economic disparities. APEC Leaders also acknowledged that economic and technical cooperation (ECOTECH) and trade and investment liberalization and facilitation are mutually complementary and supportive.

After 20 years of economic cooperation based on the framework of free and open trade and investment, APEC could take further steps to strengthen its cooperative mode through mutually reinforcing ECOTECH and APEC’s trade and investment agenda, based on its voluntary and non-binding principle. APEC’s comparative advantage in capacity building, due to the diversity of APEC economies, robust, high level commitments, and valuable experience in this area, could provide a significant contribution to implementing its expanded trade and investment agenda. APEC should also explore how to use capacity building in more effective ways to enable Leaders and Ministers to make ambitious commitments with regard to facilitating and liberalizing trade and investment.

APEC consists of diverse economies at different stages of development. Currently, the new trends of globalization and rapid technological change offer unprecedented opportunities for economic growth and employment. But they also pose new challenges for APEC economies, especially the developing economies, as we respond to these changing economic circumstances.

33

Trade and investment liberalization, supported by effective and targeted capacity building programs, can help economies achieve inclusive and sustainable growth, andadvance regional integration. Therefore, it is critical for the CTI, in coordination with the SCE and BMC, to develop a strategic plan which would identify economies’ capacity building needs in the context of ambitious trade and investment commitments by Leaders and Ministers, and address these identified capacity-building needs in a more systematic and focused manner. Such a strategic Plan would contribute to more coordinated efforts and outcomes in promoting and carrying forward APEC’s trade and investment agenda.

Proposed Actions

In order to view capacity building from a longer-term perspective, broaden the one-off activities to encompassing more systematic programs, and to achieve more lasting and impactful outcomes in promoting APEC’s trade and investment agenda, China proposes APEC economies agree to this Strategic Plan which may include, but is not limited to the following elements:

Stock take and assess previous capacity building activities. The APEC Secretariat could be tasked to provide an inventory, analysis and evaluation on previous and current capacity building activities undertaken by CTI and its sub-fora, assist in coordinating the development and implementation of various capacity building activities, and make recommendations for future actions.

Share best practice among APEC economies and other related agencies. Carry out topical workshops and case studies to exchange and demonstrate successful cases and experiences on developing and implementing high-quality capacity building activities, such as the regional economic integration Capacity-Building Needs Initiative (CBNI), supply chain connectivity etc. Discuss and identify principles and ways to develop more tailor-made capacity programs to contribute to the core trade and investment agenda of APEC, especially in the priority areas such as the Bogor Goals, supply chain connectivity, global value chains, regulatory coherence, environmental goods and services, and the FTAAP.

Design integrated and multi-faceted programs based on the identified capacity building needs. Strengthen cooperative efforts and provide targeted trade-related technical assistance and capacity building to increase the capacity of developing economies to participate in the regional and multilateral economic cooperation and ultimately use trade and investment friendly policies to help achieve their economic goals; develop and implement longer term capacity building projects. In order to achieve this, a comprehensive survey on the capacity building needs based on currently work will be conducted at CTI and its

34

sub-fora in 2014. The CTI should also emphasize the importance of monitoring and evaluation to ensure that resources are being utilized in a way that maximizes their impact.

Mobilize more resources to support the capacity building programs. Encourage member economies and other interested parties to make additional contributions to existing APEC Funds. Encourage member economies to take individual actions onvoluntary basis to provide any forms of assistance. Encourage international relevant international organizations and other stakeholders to contribute to this process, including with respect to implementation and evaluation of projects.

Annex F

APEC Initiative of Cooperation to Promote Internet Economy

I. The importance of promoting the Internet Economy

The world economy is now undergoing great transformation, more integrated and globalized than ever before. This trend is gaining momentum with the spread of the Internet. The Internet Economy, as a working definition, includes the range of economic activities stemming from or using the Internet and connection technologies. As a new economic phenomenon, such technologies are lowering barriers to economic participation, and the Internet Economy empowers economic participants using e-commerce, instant messaging, search engines, online media, internet finance, and other means.

The ICT revolution has produced cloud computing, big data, machine learning, machine-to-machine communication, and great advances in mobility and remote access, all innovations stemming from or related to the Internet. With these new technologies, we are discovering new ways to put them to use.

In recent years, information and communications technologies have become integrated into many traditional industries, transforming how they do business. The Internet is connecting businesses and resulting in a new, more integrated economic ecosystem. We see these technologies facilitating trade, access to information empowering customers, and increasing opportunities for small and micro enterprises as well as individual entrepreneurs.

In the past industrial era, large corporations were sometimes the only ones able to apply advanced technologies, and they have advantages in taking on large-scale challenges, but new information and connection technologies are opening up the economy, jobs and growth to SMEs and individuals.

As mobile technologies advance and computing becomes embedded in a wider array of devices, we foresee technology becoming increasingly scannable, pliable, wearable and drivable. This ubiquity may cause the devices to fade into the background of a digital environment and change how people experience information and connectivity.

New innovations in finance and payments are also facilitating a wide variety of small-scale commerce and economic activity as well as serving many who have been historically underserved by the formal financial sector. Recognizing this will raise new policy questions, we see demonstrated value in innovations to include: mobile money and micro-financing, lightweight payment technologies, P2P lending, and crowd funding. Such innovations are also challenging many traditional models and spurring new and improved services to the public in sectors such as asset management, insurance, medical care and health management

36

The Internet Economy is an effective carrier of economic reform, innovation and sustainable growth. It has ushered in an era of mass innovation, expanding the space of prosperity; has the potential to turn individuals into an economic growth point. It benefits each and every social stratum, contributing in particular to the growth of the middle class. It has boosted the employment of the destabilizing and the vulnerable groups such as the youth, women and the disabled.

At the macro-level, the Internet Economy may help developed economies stimulate flagging economic growth rates, while providing developing economies a less painful way to overcome the "middle income trap". The growth of the Internet Economy can help satisfy people's aspiration for inclusive and high-quality prosperity in the information era.

Nevertheless, the Internet Economy will produce policy or regulatory challenges. We should be sensitive, as our economies are increasingly interconnected, of the risks of unintended consequences from laws and policies. Laws and regulations often lag behind new technologies, and we should be engaged with each other so our respective efforts are effective and to minimize inadvertent affects across the regional economy.

II. APEC's constructive role in promoting the Internet Economy

With diversified markets and users, the Asia-Pacific region is at the forefront of the Internet Economy. Internet and mobile device subscribers in the region account for 45% and 50% of the world's total. The region has witnessed an explosive growth of the Internet Economy and boasts the largest number of online shoppers in the world.

Demand by SMEs and individuals for access to credit, transactions, and other financial services in the Internet Economy has spurred many new innovations and spurred rapid growth in the Asia-Pacific region. Innovations in online and mobile micro-financing have enabled new economic activity and grass-roots economic participation by individuals as well as SMEs.

This sort of economic activity, which we see in the Internet Economy and is resulting in economic new opportunities and greater inclusiveness and prosperity, is the type of dynamic growth APEC has sought to promote since its establishment.

APEC, as a premier forum for enhancing economic growth and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region, has long been committed to promoting internet economy since the adoption of APEC Blueprint for Action on Electronic Commerce in its annual Leaders’ meeting in 1998 and the establishment of the APEC Electronic Commerce Steering Group (ECSG) in 1999, aiming to promote the development and use of electronic commerce by creating legal, regulatory and policy environments in the APEC region. The work was followed by the highlighting of the use of ICTs in the world economic development in the Action Agenda for New Economy, the e-APEC Strategy and the Statement to Implement APEC Policies on Trade and the Digital Economy endorsed by APEC Leaders in their annual meetings in 2000, 2001 and 2002

37

respectively.

Further to it, goals of achieving universal access to broadband in all APEC economies by 2015 and achieving access to next generation, high speed broadband by 2020 were endorsed by Ministers in 2009 and 2010, so as to enable economies to access more benefits of ICTs that increase economic efficiencies and productivity, utilize smart ICT applications, and improve the livelihoods of people in APEC economies, and stimulate economic growth in the APEC region. Once more, the use of ICT was recognized by our Leaders as a crucial driver for further integration in the APEC region in 2012. And our Ministers also encouraged members to “expand the application of safe and trusted ICT and e-commerce environment”, and “explore the possibility of implementation a one-stop shop for online transactions”, and to provide all the procedures and services “required to export and e-commerce across boundaries promote the easiness of doing business” in their Joint Ministerial Statement in 2013.

In 2014, APEC continues to carry out the work on promoting the Internet Economy. In February, the Concept Paper "Developing the Internet Economy through Enhanced ICT Cooperation" was endorsed in SOM 1 in Ningbo. In April, the APEC Telecommunications and Information Working Group (TELWG) held a Roundtable on the Internet Economy in Yangzhou, where representatives from member economies and internet enterprises envisaged the bright future of the Internet Economy in the Asia-Pacific region. In May, during SOM 2 in Qingdao, members agreed to incorporate the Internet Economy under agenda Priority Two -- "Promote Innovative Development, Economic Reform and Growth" -- as a key cooperation area of the "new economy" pillar.

III. Proposed Actions

Observing established guidelines focusing on practical economic cooperation, respecting the diversity of APEC members, we propose the following cooperative actions with a view to seizing the opportunity to promote the growth of the Internet Economy:

1. Establish an Ad Hoc Steering Group consists of APEC member economies, related fora and ABAC to discuss issues arising from the Internet Economy, propose actions, and encourage collaboration across multiple APEC fora.

2. Promote technological exchanges with stakeholders in member economies.3. Organize entrepreneurship and skill training on the Internet Economy to facilitate capacity

building and encourage entrepreneurship and innovation. Recalling the 2009 APEC Digital Prosperity Checklist, organize training programs to help developing member economies bridge the digital divide.

4. Continue work to realize the goal of achieving universal access to broadband by 2015 and universal access to the next generation, ultrahigh-speed broadband by 2020 in the APEC region, as well as promoting IPv4 to IPv6 transition.While we strive to benefit more from the Internet Economy and new technologies, we note the importance of continued work to ensure robust, reliable and resilient infrastructure. Continue activities in promoting confidence and trust in electronic environments globally

38

by encouraging secure cross border flows of information, including electronic documents. Reaffirm the necessity of multi-stakeholder cooperation to continue efforts to expand and strengthen the Asia-Pacific Information Infrastructure and to build confidence and security in the Internet Economy.

5. Leverage the Internet Economy to foster an enabling environment and inclusive economic participation to allow people to improve their own lives. We note the potential for technologies to empower vulnerable and disadvantaged groups like women, young people, people with disabilities, and the poor.

6. Support the healthy development of innovative Internet finance. We commit to promote safe, efficient, low-cost and inclusive financial services to enable SMEs and individuals to share the benefits of economic development, with a view to building an open, cooperative, and safe environment for the Internet Economy. We propose a dialogue bringing together a balanced group of stakeholders to explore innovative new ways to serve the underserved.

7. Explore how "mobility" may help facilitate economic activity and promote APEC goals. As mobile devices become more ubiquitous connection technologies will change how we experience the Internet and interact with an increasingly rich information environment. We propose TEL open a dialogue of these topics, inclusive of stakeholders and other fora, to explore these topics.

8. Promote the development of Internet of Things (IOT). The deployment embedded sensors and computing, machine to machine communication, and the development of improved analytics will be transformative and offer many benefits but also raise new policy questions. We propose TEL initiate discussion of these topics and their policy considerations, promoting deployment of such technologies.

Annex G

APEC Ocean Cooperation in the Asia Pacific Region

APEC members share one ocean, and they account for over 80% of global aquaculture production. The ocean is an important conduit for 90% of world trade, and connects people, markets and livelihoods, as well as providing ecosystem services and playing an important role towards fulfilling economic recovery and prosperity of the Asia Pacific region.

APEC recognizes the need to conserve and sustain the ocean so that it can continue to meet the needs of the present without damaging the interests of future generations. It is also mindful of increasing challenges both from natural and human factors, such as over- exploitation of resources in the context of increasing human demands, increasing pollution, loss of biodiversity, and the impacts of global climate change and natural disasters. APEC is an important platform for regional economic integration and growth, and a well-placed platform for discussion and cooperation related to the ocean.

We acknowledge and seek to build upon previous work in this area, which came out of guidance from APEC Leaders’ Declarations, APEC Leaders’ Growth Strategy, and the 2013 Joint Ministerial Statement and commitments made in the 2002 Seoul Ocean Declaration, the 2005 Bali Plan of Action, the 2010 Paracas Declaration and Paracas Action Agenda, and in particular the Xiamen Declaration, which is the outcome document of the 4th APEC Ocean- related Ministerial Meeting (AOMM4) held in Xiamen, China, on 28 August, 2014. We also commend the progress made by the Ocean and Fisheries Working Group in these years

We confirm that “for the purposes of APEC, the APEC Ocean and Fisheries Working Group views Blue Economy as an approach to advance sustainable management and conservation of ocean and coastal resources and ecosystems and sustainable development, in order to foster economic growth”. We also recognize the importance of the APEC Marine Sustainable Development Report, which provides an overview of marine sustainable development activities within APEC.

While progress has been made in APEC, particularly over the past few years, we also recognize that the world’s oceans and seas still require better understanding and coordinated action and the urgent need for ocean cooperation due to the complex and trans-boundary nature of ocean and coastal issues and challenge. We support the call made by APEC Ocean- Related Ministers in the Xiamen Declaration for the establishment of more integrated, sustainable, inclusive and mutually beneficial partnership through ocean cooperation among APEC members, that implements previous commitments and focuses efforts on collaborative and concerted actions in the following four priority areas: (1) Coastal and marine ecosystem conservation and disaster resilience; (2) The role of the ocean on food security and food- related trade; (3) Marine science, technology and innovation; and (4) Blue Economy.

We welcome the Xiamen Declaration and support the actions within it in the hopes of supporting healthy and productive oceans and coasts in the APEC region.

Beijing Declaration on Fighting Corruption

We APEC member economies recognize that corruption impedes economic sustainability and development, threatens social security and fairness, undermines the rule of law, and erodes government accountability, as well as public trust. We reaffirm the Santiago Commitment to Fight Corruption and Ensure Transparency, the APEC Course of Action on Fighting Corruption and Ensuring Transparency, as well as the Vladivostok Declaration on Fighting Corruption and Ensuring Transparency, which reflect our continued commitments to combat corruption across all sectors, including public sector and private sector, in the Asia Pacific region. We commend the Anti-Corruption and Transparency (ACT) Working Group for guiding us in strengthening our resolve to effectively fight corruption across borders, and for its commitment over the years to working across APEC subfora, with the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), and with key regional and international partners.

We highly applaud the continued contributions of all APEC member economies to protect integrity and promote transparency and participation of society in the Asia-Pacific region. Acknowledging that increased global connectivity demands vigorous international cooperation to successfully combat corruption, we urge member economies to further intensify our collective efforts in the fight against corruption by strengthening existing cooperation and developing new areas of international collaboration within the APEC ACT framework.

With this vision in mind, we hereby call for more concerted efforts for international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, subject to domestic laws and policies, through the following actions:

-- Reaffirming our commitment to denying safe haven to those engaged in corruption, including through extradition, mutual legal assistance, and the recovery and return of proceeds of corruption; considering the adoption of more flexible approaches enabled by domestic legislation for recovery of proceeds of corruption; and striving to expedite international cooperation in the prevention, investigation, prosecution, and punishment of corruption offenses.

-- Strengthening information sharing among APEC economies, according to domestic laws, concerning cross-border movements of public officials involved in corruption criminal investigations and their illicitly acquired assets, as an effort to help combat corruption, bribery and illicit financial flows to the utmost extent; and calling for transparency of beneficial ownership of legal persons and legal arrangements as consistent with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) definition, aimed at more effective prevention and detection of corruption.

42

-- Looking anew at the potential of enhancing bilateral cooperation to fight corruption through the use of existing international legal instruments such as the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) and the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organized Crime(UNTOC), and relevant initiatives like the APEC Course of Action on Fighting Corruption and Ensuring Transparency; encouraging member economies , where appropriate, to sign and conclude bilateral extradition treaties and mutual legal assistance agreements; and welcoming anti-corruption programs that follow successful models.

-- Establishing the APEC Network of Anti-Corruption Authorities and Law Enforcement Agencies (ACT-NET) with an Office responsible for daily administrative tasks, and looking forward to the development of the ACT-NET as an informal network for sharing information and exchanging best practices and techniques among anti-corruption and law enforcement authorities in the Asia-Pacific region, to assist in detecting, investigating and prosecuting corruption, bribery, money laundering, and illicit trade.

-- Strengthening international cooperation efforts through the support of and participation in ACT-NET and other multilateral networks; exploring the potential of other existing mechanisms, where appropriate, such as UNCAC, UNTOC, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), FATF, and the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG), to promote effective international, regional and bilateral cooperation between and among law enforcement, prosecutorial, regulatory and financial intelligence entities; and supporting the development and introduction of new anti-corruption tools and initiatives, such as jurisdiction-specific guidebooks, to provide technical assistance to anti-corruption and law enforcement authorities in member economies.

-- Collectively pursuing efforts to nurture fair and open markets, and encouraging member economies to initiate, enact, implement, and continually perfect, where appropriate, legislation prohibiting bribery; recognizing the importance of intensifying cross-border cooperation to prevent, investigate and prosecute bribery; encouraging member economies to broaden and strengthen dialogues between governments and business communities in the fight against bribery; and welcoming tools and guidelines developed by member economies in this regard.1

-- Cooperating on anti-corruption cases through all feasible measures within the bounds of each economy’s laws and regulations, and facilitating administrative arrangements for officials cooperating with each other in APEC member economies.

1 Including the APEC Principles on the Prevention of Bribery and Enforcement of Anti-bribery Laws and the APEC General Elements of Effective Corporate Compliance Programs.

43

-- Taking all necessary measures in accordance with fundamental legal principles of each economy to implement and promote transparency, including strengthening corruption prevention bodies and anti-corruption policies, as well as welcoming the participation of society; establishing measures and systems to protect whistleblowers; attaching great importance to capacity building of anti-corruption and law enforcement authorities; and advancing exchanges, personnel training and technical assistance for member economies.

Building upon our past commitments to fight corruption and ensure transparency, we shall lead by example to continue our fight against corruption in the Asia-Pacific region. With fresh vigor and renewed momentum, we will take concrete actions and pursue additional effective measures as necessary to safeguard our common security, market integrity, the rule of law, and sustainable growth.

附件AAPEC提倡共享全球資料標準之使用宣言

1. 在 2013宣言中，我們承認全球資料標準的貢獻能提升供應鏈之效率，也鼓勵官員使用全球資料標準探討從何促進資料標準架構之兼容性，及經濟架構的相容性。2. 在任何國際貨物交易中，當貨物隨全球供應鏈移動時，一定範圍的訊息會在多方間互換。全球資料標準可應用於確保相關訊息是以一種固定的模式進行傳達，一方面易懂，另一方面能多方共享。舉例來說，全球資料標準支持了普遍的條碼系統，統一代碼和用於分類貿易物品的編碼系統。我們對領導開發全球資料標準的私營部門及在亞太經合會裡持續支持本議題的企業諮詢委員會表示感謝。3. 隨著政府與私營部門交易逐漸電子化，確保相關利害關係人的系統能共享的重要性與實用性也隨之提高。確切而言，我們樂見官方著手探究本議題的濫觴，其中包含一個研討會及有關全球資料標準的貿易政策對談。從這些活動中發現全球資料共享標準被廣泛使用，而建立了以下更多的益處：

a. 效率：全球資料表準可以藉由排除不必要的交易，改善供應鏈的效率以達更有效傳達且精準的風險評估。b. 完整姓：全球資料標準可用於核對供應鏈中一件商品的完整性。c. 能見度：全球資料標準能提高供應鏈流程的能見度及透明度。d. 創新：全球資料標準可提供一個創新平臺使新的資訊利用方法得以用於「智慧」供應鏈流程。

4. 我們也認為我在們在全球資料標準的成果會為 APEC的工作核心帶來更多的貢獻。這包含了更多的目標，其中有連結性、全球價值鏈、茂物目標以及各經濟體在 2015供應鏈的表現中進步10%，這也包含點出供應鏈重要樞紐的作用。

5. 意識著全球資料標準的流通與APEC目標之間既有的聯繫等利益，我們指示官員通過實驗計畫，與私營部門進一步在全球數據標準的工作上進行合作。這些實驗計畫將進一步實際地探討全球資料標準的好處，我們鼓勵APEC會員體根據自身條件參與這些計畫。6. 最後，我們鼓勵官方執行一項研究來評估這些實驗計畫的整體成果以及建立一組以政策面為基礎的準則或建議，以供未來在

APEC經濟體中與全球資料標準有關之倡議做為參考。58

附件 BAPEC促進再生及潔淨能源（RCE）貿易與投資宣言

促進 RCE的貿易及投資，對於符合我們目前及未來能源的需求至為關鍵。對於 RCE更多的運用將多樣化我們的能源供給，並降低環境衝擊。近年來，RCE的市場持續的成長，但跨境貿易及投資的不同型態的障礙仍構成挑戰。2014年舉辦了 RCE貿易及投資公私部門對話，並啟動了「APEC環境商品及服務公私部門夥伴關係(PPEGS)」以促進 RCE貿易及投資並增加 RCE的運用。根據 APEC之前針對 RCE的工作及第 1屆 PPEGS對話的建議，在APEC非拘束及自願性的本質下，我們同意採取下列行動：1. 藉由進一歩確認APEC會員體間 RCE商品所面臨的貿易障礙，並共同打擊在 RCE部門中任何型式的保護主義，深化監控及抵制保護主義措施的合作，以促進市場的開放程度。2. 透過強化APEC會員體間的合作及協調，包括定期舉辦公私部門對話及建立會員體間更廣泛的理解與信任，來防止 RCE跨境貿易及投資的貿易磨擦。3. 提升影響 RCE貿易及投資措施領域的法規調和及合作，包括探究 RCE產業別中標準及認證系統的調和一致，以確保此區域高品質 RCE產品的供給。4. 確保所有政府對於促進環境商品及服務的支持及刺激方案皆須透明並符合WTO規則。5. 強化智慧財產權的保護及執行，並認知全面平衡的智慧財產系統的重要性，以提供誘因及保護鼓勵創意及創新，提供 RCE研究及發展的實質支持。6. 鼓勵會員體針對 2011年領袖宣言所設定的環境商品及服務貿易及投資目標在自願性的基礎下進行報告。7. 鼓勵APEC會員體間有關 RCE的技術合作，以對永續性、包容性發展作出貢獻。8. 鼓勵私部門及學界在 RCE相關的政策制定更深化更頻繁的參與，以支持APEC合作，並在 RCE產業創造更多的合作機會。我們承諾創造 RCE貿易及投資的有利環境，以對亞太地區的永續發展及普遍繁榮作出貢獻。我們指示資深官員針對這些行動的執行發展知識分享及能力建構活動，包括促進 RCE貿易及投資的意見、經驗及最佳實務的交流。

附件CAPEC海關相互承認、相互協助、相互分享(3M)策略性架構

海關在國際貿易中扮演著確保安全與便捷的要角。APEC海關社群替 APEC會員體成就了區域海關程序上的便捷與和諧，不但降低了APEC貿易成本更改善了供應鏈的成效。以WTO貿易便捷化協定的結論而言，海關程序重組將於 2020在達成茂物目標上扮演著更主動且具決定性的角色，也替區域經濟整合及貿易便捷化注入新血。APEC領袖在 2013宣示要推動單一窗口系統使海關程序現代化，以達成制度性連結和亞太地區的全面且無縫的連結及整合。因此，APEC 2013工作聲明(2014展望)確認了APEC海關的優先事項以改善供應鏈連結性及加強海關程序，並著重在單一窗口與優質企業認證。海關工作亦將包含人與人連結和野生動物走私。為達到此目的，我們以相互承認、相互協助和相互分享之倡議為基礎，指導資深官員有系統地推動海關運作，以提升AEPC會員體公認的後續緊迫工作。1. 推動連結性與貿易便捷化• 執行WTO ATF短期目標:在最新發展上，互相更新ATF和此領域相關的早期完整執行。長程目標: 準備檢視ATF未來四年運行後之執行與運作，並探討ATF執行非綁定或最佳條款的可能性。• 單一窗口短期目標: 繼續為會員體提供能力建構和技術支援，用最少的延遲來建立並完善其單一窗口。長程目標: 實現APEC會員體之間單一窗口系統的共通性。• 海關運輸短期目標: 運作於第 8 檢查點，並幫助APEC海關運輸引導會員體處理給予第三方區域物資特惠協調不善的問題。長程目標: 開展能力建構、落實海關運輸指引、進行定期評估並建立過境貨物原產地認證的統一安排，以創造報關的便利環境和對於國際貿易運作更淺顯的運輸規範，以提高供應鏈的效益和安全性。2 強化法律執行效率及貿易秩序• 保護智慧財產權(IPR)短期目標: 提高會員體間的技術交流、經驗分享與海關在邊境保護智慧財產權的執法能力。長程目標: 建立一個研究和培訓保護邊境智慧財產權的長期機制。3 拉近與私營部門的合作以強化貿易安全• 優質企業認證工作(AEO)

60

短期目標: 繼續協助尚未建立AEO的計畫的會員體開展能力建構，並進一步推進AEO企業的最低標準，包含中小企業。長程目標: 繼續執行能力建構計畫，增加會員體之間的AEO共識，並制定出AEO MRA的利益表，以進一步促進亞太地區的貿易。• 跨境電子商務短期目標: 增加APEC海關社區在電子商務上的風險管理意識，並透過提高資訊交流水準的最佳行動來促進與商界的合作。長程目標: 加強APEC會員體和私部門之間合作，鼓勵私營部門的自律和順從，而建立安全且高效率的跨境電子商務，並以此促進APEC的經濟與貿易發展。4 科技化以加強海關控管效率•邊界海關之間的貨單交換短期目標: 鼓勵有邊境海關合作經驗的會員體進行經驗交流，促進亞太地區土地邊境海關的貨單交換。長程目標: 進行統一貨單的可行性研究，從貨單的資料內容，格式和語言來達成共識，並推動APEC會員體之間的貨單統一。除了以上提及的重點任務之外，SCCP將繼續推行其他正在進行的項目，包括貿易復甦，放行時間研究等，以進一步簡化和協調區域通關程序，確保貨物和服務能有效地安全地通過該區域。SCCP將繼透過ACBD和VWG與私營部門密切合作，執行任務。

APEC區域的基礎建設投資出現嚴重斷層，造成政府無法獨立完成。2013年，APEC 替多年的基礎建設發展與投資背書，建立了一個重要的平臺。2014年，中國大陸將「強化基礎建設連結性的全面發展」設立為APEC 2014年會的三大要點之一。建立良好的基礎建設可以協助其他領域的交易與投資。它能幫助連結供應鏈和減少交易阻礙，如降低區域交易成本等。此外，它能加速APEC區域內已開發及開發中會員體的經濟成長。基礎建設困乏對於發展中會員體而言，特別是經濟發展的關鍵阻礙，約束了APEC區域的跨界投資成長。廣泛經濟研究顯示許多開發中會員體回饋的資本較已開發會員體為高，由已開發流入開發中會員體的資本低於經濟模型所示。在諸多對此謎題的解釋中，開發中會員體的基礎建設困乏以及缺少投資協助政策是廣為接受的原因。透過公私合作，配合基礎建設投資的所有APEC會員體都能相互得到利益。設計得宜且符合意圖的公私部門合作，可提供一個可行的替換方法讓公部門能為基礎建設發展提供資金，如此便能透過風險及責任分享改善服務品質，優化資源應用和舒緩預算限制。同時，會員體間的基礎建設有著正向的外部效益。因此，APEC會員體之間透過公私合作的經濟配合是為相當理想的基礎建設投資。2014八月十三日，在北京舉行了投資專家小組的公私部門對談，主題為：「透過公私合作推廣基礎建設投資」，其中積極討論基礎建設投資中的公私合作。根據 2014投資專家小組公私部門對談中的專家及參與人員提出的意見，並謹記APEC的非約束性質，會員體指出了以下的行動能為APEC地區連結性及基礎建設合作的廣大目標帶來貢獻。為實現諸此行動，投資專家小組會配合貿易暨投資委員會、資深財務長會議和其他APEC相關次級論壇來調度資源和避免相關工作的重複性：1. 推廣關於資助基礎建設投資方法上持續的政策對談，包含使用公私合作和其他資助機制來進行發展公開化、透明化和便利的投資環境。此種對談可提高APEC會員體的認知及共識，在定義、特性、益處及難題上應用公私合作模型進行基礎建設投資，並訂定有利基礎建設投資的政策。2. 分享優良政策及實踐，使APEC會員體關注公私合作模型，包含基礎建設投資的創新財務機制和鑑定能力建設需求。3. 加速投資專家小組「組合公私合作嚮導準則」的工作，旨在累積不同公私合作框架且已在APEC會員體實行的資訊。考慮未來投資專家小組要解決其他促進私營部門在基礎建設投資的機制，包含透過公私融資機制。

4. 以「APEC 企業諮詢委員會 實現方法 的基礎建設清單」作為有用的參考讓各會員體能加強政府的政策與執行，以透過公私合作促進基礎建設投資，藉此加強政府計畫的規劃與執行力、建立一套完整合法且有管理的環境、開發健全的公私合作模型與框架以及創造並維持一個透明的投資環境以吸引外地的直接投資。5. 發起能力建設倡議，解決既有阻礙以推廣基礎建設發展的公私合作計畫和改進開發中會員體利用公私合作的能力、開發有利投資的政策以及促進基礎建設發展並刺激私營部門的參與。這些都將集結於APEC基礎建設發展與投資的多年計畫之中。6. 鼓勵各APEC會員體基於不同需求和情況的考量，建立可有效運作且訓練有素的公私合作中心，推廣以公私合作作為方法，促進以基礎建設投資為方法來做經驗分享，合作與協調亞太區域的公私合作發展。7. 強化各APEC會員體、APEC企業諮詢委員會和私營部門以及國際組織的合作關係，如世界銀行、國際貨幣基金會、經濟合作暨發展組織及亞洲開發銀行等，而著眼於分享計畫的資訊和加強區域內外資金和知識資源的有效分佈。8. 加強公私合作的分析工作和推廣區域間的學術合作，包含尋找有建設研究基地潛力的APEC網路，進而成為一個重要的分析框架並在利益共享的原則下，用來推廣公私合作的發展和配合。9. 延續 APEC的努力，辨別發展相關投資政策環境的行動和最佳做法。

附件 EAPEC促進貿易投資議程之能力建構策略計劃

背景1995年，APEC領袖認可了大阪行動綱領並指示追求經濟和技術合作，以實現在亞太區域的持續性增長和公平性發展，同時減少APEC會員體之間的經濟落差和改進經濟和社會福祉，並承認此貢獻將有助於該地區貿易與投資的增長。1996年，APEC領袖認可蘇比克宣言，並強調作為對APEC的貿易和投資自由化議程的重要補充，經濟和技術合作有助於APEC成員充分地參與和受益於一個開放的全球貿易環境，從而確保貿易自由化促成穩定成長、公平發展和經濟不平等的減少。APEC領袖也承認經濟暨技術合作(ECOTECH)以及貿易投資自由化和便利化相輔相成。經過 20多年經濟合作框架下的貿易與投資自由化，APEC基於其自願和非約束性的原則，可透過經濟暨技術合作和APEC貿易投資綱領的配合來進一步強化其合作模式。基於此區域內APEC會員體的多樣性、穩定投入以及寶貴經驗，APEC能力建構的比較利益可為擴張其貿易投資綱領帶來顯著貢獻。APEC還應探討如何使用能力建構以更有效的方式使領袖和部長能做出遠大承諾，促進貿易和投資自由化。APEC由處於不同發展階段的會員體組成。目前，全球化的新趨勢和技術快速變化為經濟成長和就業創造前所未有的機遇。但當我們應變這些不斷變化的經濟環境時他們同時也為APEC 帶來新的挑戰，特別是開發中會員體。藉標的性高效率能力建構計畫支援貿易和投資自由化，可協助會員體實現範圍性永續成長並提升區域整合。因此，對貿易暨投資委員會、SCE和預算管理委員會而言，重要的是由各領導人和部長制定在長遠貿易和投資承諾方面的戰略計畫，來確定會員體的能力建構需求，並以更有系統和集中力的方式處理這些確定的能力建構需求。如此的戰略計畫將在促進和弘揚APEC貿易暨投資綱領上貢獻更具協調性的努力和成果。建議行動為了以更長遠的角度來看能力建構，拓展一次性活動，以涵蓋更多系統性計畫，並為了在促進APEC貿易投資綱領上，實現更持久和具影響力的成果，中國大陸提議APEC會員體同意此戰略計劃，其可包含，但不僅限於以下內容：

64

盤點和評估以往的能力建構活動。要求APEC秘書處提供由貿易暨投資委員會與其小組展開至今的能力建構活動清單、分析與評估，協助協調各項能力建構活動的制定和實施，並為今後的行動提出建議。分享APEC各會員體及其他相關機構之最佳實踐範例。利用專題及個案研究以交流和展示成功案例和經驗，開發並實施高品質的能力建構活動，如區域經濟一體化的能力建構需求計劃（CBNI），供應鏈連接性等。討論和確定原則以及如何制定更有針對性的能力計劃，以促進APEC的核心貿易和投資綱領，特別是在要點區域，如茂物目標、供應鏈連接性、全球價值鏈、管理一致性、環境產品與服務及亞太自由貿易區。根據既有能力建構需求，設計完整且多元的計畫。加強合作努力，並提供有針對性的與貿易相關技術援助和能力建構，以提高發展中國家參與區域和多邊經濟合作的能力，並最終利用貿易和投資友好的政策，以幫助實現其經濟目標；制定和實施較長期的能力建構項目。為了實現這一目標，在能力建構需求進行全面調查的基礎上，目前的工作將在 CTI及其子論壇於 2014年進行。CTI還應強調監測和評估的重要性，以確保資源能達到其影響力的最大化。動員更多的資源來支持能力建構計劃。鼓勵各會員體及其他有關單位對APEC現有基金提供額外捐款。鼓勵各會員體採取個別行動，並自發性地提供任何形式的援助。鼓勵相關國際組織和其他利益者參與這過程，包括計畫的評估和實施。

附件 FAPEC促進網路經濟合作倡議

I. 促進網路經濟的重要性世界經濟目前正歷經巨大的轉型，相較從前變得更為整合及全球化，這種趨勢受到網路的擴散獲得更大的動能。網路經濟在工作上的定義包括自使用網路及連線科技所延伸的經濟活動範圍。作為新的經濟現象，網路經濟賦予經濟參與者使用電子商務、即時訊息、蒐尋引擎、線上媒體、網路金融及其它方法。ICT革命產生雲端計算、巨量資料、機器學習、機器間溝通及行動遠端技術的重大進歩 ，所有的創新都自網路延伸或與其相關，透過這些新科技，我們發現新的應用使用方式。近年來，資訊及通訊科技變得與傳統產業更為融合，並改變經營的方式。網路連結企業並產生新穎、更為整合的經濟生態系統。我們認為這些科技促進貿易，資訊的取得使消費者更有選擇的便利，並增加小型微型企業及個人企業主更多的機會。在過去工業化時代，僅有大公司有辦法應用先進科技，並在面對大規模挑戰時具備優勢，但新的資訊及連結技術打開中小企業及個人的經濟、就業及成長機會。隨著行動技術的進歩，及運算科技成為鑲嵌入廣泛種類的產品設備，我們預測科技漸變得可掃瞄、可折疊、可穿戴及可運載。這種無所不在使得設備消失於數位環境中，並改變人們體驗資訊及連結性的方式。在金融及支付方式的創新同樣也促進多樣的小規模商業及經濟活動，及提供服務給那些過去在正規金融體系未能被服務的對象。對此認知將產生新的政策問題，我們認為創新的外顯價值應包括行動支付及微型金融、微價支付技術、P2P貸款及群眾募資。這樣的創新亦挑戰許多傳統模式及對如資產管理、保險、醫療照護及健康管理等領域產生新型進化的服務。網路經濟對於經濟改革、創新及永續成長來說是有效的媒介。其揭開大量創新的年代，擴展繁榮的空間，並將個人都轉變為經濟成長的據點。網路經濟使每個社會階層皆能受惠，特別是對中產階級的成長有所貢獻。其提高弱勢團體如青年、婦女及殘障人士的就業機會。

66

在總體的層次，網路經濟可以協助已開發會員體刺激衰退的經濟成長率，並提供開發中會員體克服「中等收入陷阱」較為不艱難路徑。網路經濟的成長可以協助滿足人們在資訊時代對於包容性高品質繁榮的企望。僅管如此，網路經濟仍將造成政策及法規的挑戰。隨著我們的經濟逐漸變得相互連結，我們應對於法律及政策所造成非預想的結果有所警覺。法規通常落後於新的技術，我們應相互參與使得我們個別的努力有所效用，並減少怠忽的效果。II. APEC在促進網路經濟的建設性角色亞太區域具有多元的市場及用戶，使其走在網路經濟的最前線。此區域的網路及行動裝置用戶估計分占全世界的 45%及 50%。此區域見證網路經濟爆炸性的成長，並為世界線上購物最多的數量。SMEs及個人對於信用、交易及其它金融服務的需求，促使亞太區域許多的新穎創新及快速成長。透過線上及行動微型金融的創新，使得個人及 SMEs 得以參與新的經濟活動。此種經濟活動及網路經濟產生新的經濟機會及更大的包容性及繁榮，是APEC成立時就想達到的動態成長。APEC作為提升亞太地區經濟成長及繁榮的首要論壇，自 1998年採認APEC電子商務行動藍圖，並在 1999年設立 ECSG以來一直承諾促進網路經濟，藉由創造理想法規及政策環境以促進電子商務的使用及發展。這個工作在 2000、2001及 2002年的領袖會議所採認的「新經濟行動議程」、「e-APEC Strategy and the Statement to Implement APEC Policies on Trade」及「數位經濟」等皆強調 ICT在世界經濟發展上的運用。不僅如此，2009年及 2010年部長分別採認要在 2015年前使所有APEC會員體達到建置寬頻網路及 2020年前達成建置高速寬頻網路的目標，使會員體藉由 ICTs的運用提升效率及生產力、運用智慧ICT應用而受惠更多，進而改善APEC會員體人們的生活，並刺激APEC區域的經濟成長。再一次，2012年領袖肯定 ICT的使用為更進一歩整合的關鍵趨動力。部長於 2013年聯合部長宣言中鼓勵會員體拓展安全可靠 ICT的應用及電子商務環境，並探究線上交易執行一站式商店的可能性，以提供跨境輸出及跨境電子商務所需的程序及服務，以提高經商便利性。2014年，APEC持續執行促進網路經濟的工作。2月，在寧波所舉行的 SOM1採認了「藉由提升 ICT合作發展網路經濟」概念文件 。4月，TELWG在揚州舉行網路經濟的圓桌會議，來自會員體的代表及網路企業擘劃網路經濟在亞太地區的光明未來。5月青島 SOM2期間，會員體同意將網路經濟置於第二優先領域「促進創新發展、

67

經濟改革及成長」以作為「新經濟」主軸的關鍵合作領域。III. 提議行動設立聚焦於實際經濟合作的指導原則，遵重APEC會員體的多元性，我們提議下列合作行動，以掌握促進網路經濟成長的機會。1. 由APEC會員體、相關論壇及ABAC所組成設立特別的指導委員會，就網路經濟有關的議題進行討論、提議行動並鼓勵跨多重論壇的合作。2. 促進相關利害關係者的技術交流。3. 組織網路經濟的企業家精神及技術訓練，以促進能力建構及鼓勵企業家精神及創新，重新檢視 2009 APEC Digital Prosperity

Checklist，組織訓練方案以協助開發中會員體縮小數位差距。4. 持續努力以達成 2015年建置全面性寬頻(broadband)、2020年前達超高速寬頻(ultrahigh-speed broadband)的目標，及促進網際網路通訊協定 IPv4 版轉型至 IPv6 版。當我們努力想從網路經濟及新科技中受惠，我們注意持續工作的重要以確保強勁、可靠及韌性的基礎設施。應透過鼓勵資訊跨境流動的安全以提升對於全球電子環境的信心及信任，包括電子文件。重申多元關係者 合作的必要以持續拓展及強化亞太資訊基礎設施，並建立網路經濟的信心及安全。

5. 運用網路經濟以建置有善環境及包容性的經濟參與，讓人們可以改善他們的生計。我們注意科技對於弱勢團體如婦女、青年、殘障及貧窮賦權的潛力。6. 支持創新網路金融的健全發展。我們承諾促進安全、有效率、低成本及包容性的金融服務，以協助 SMEs及個人得以分享經濟成長利益，為建立一個開放、合作及安全的網路經濟環境。我們提議舉行對話以聚集多元平衡的利害關係者以探究創新的新途徑。7. 探究「行動化」如何協助便捷經濟活動並推進APEC目標。當行動裝置變為無所不在的連結科技時，將改變我們體驗網路的方式，及與日益豐富的資訊環境間的互動。我們提議 TEL為這些主題召開一對話，包含相關利害者及其它論壇以進行探究。8. 促進物聯網(Internet of Things, IOT)的發展，建置感應器及電腦，機器對機器的通訊及分析技術的發展皆為轉化性質，可以提供許多好處，但同樣也會造成新的政策問題。我們提議 TEL提案討論這些主題及其政策考量，以促進這種科技的建置。

附件GAPEC亞太地區海洋合作

APEC會員體共享一片海洋，他們占全球養殖產量的 80%以上。海洋是世界貿易 90%以上的重要管道，連接了人、 市場和生計，以及提供生態系統服務功能，更扮演了實現亞太地區經濟復甦和繁榮的角色。APEC認識到保護和維持海洋的需要，因為它可以滿足目前的需求不損害後代的利益。它也是從自然和人類日益增多的挑戰，如過度開發資源下，日益殷切的人力需求、 污染、 生物多樣性喪失、 和全球氣候變化和自然災害。為提供有關海洋區域經濟一體化和發展的良好討論途徑，APEC是個重要平臺。我們承認並且試圖從這些宣言提出指導，如 APEC領袖宣言、APEC領袖成長戰略、2002年首爾海洋宣言的部長報告及承諾、2005年的峇厘行動綱領以及 2010在廈門宣言中的 Paracas宣言及行動綱領，也就是 2014八月二十八日廈門第四屆海洋相關部長會議(AOMM4)的成果文件。我們也讚揚這些年來由海洋與漁業工作小組取得的進展。為促進經濟增長，APEC海洋與漁業工作小組認為藍海經濟作是可以促進永續管理、養護海洋和沿海資源及生態系統的永續發展。我們也認識到APEC海洋永續發展報告的重要性，它提供海洋APEC內海洋永續發展活動的概況。在過去的幾年中雖然取得了在APEC的進展，由於海洋和沿海的複雜性和跨界性，我們也認識到全球海洋仍然需要更好的認識與合作行動。我們支持 APEC 海洋相關部長在廈門宣言所提的內容，包含建立讓 APEC會員體更加一體化、永續且各方受益的合作關係，這也實現先前所致力於以下四個優先領域中海洋合作互利的夥伴關係：(1) 沿海和海洋生態系統養護和災後復原 ；(2) 糧食安全和食物相關貿易 (3) 海洋科學、 技術和創新 ；和 (4) 的藍海經濟我們接受廈門宣言，並支持其行動，希望以此支援亞太地區海洋和沿海的健康與富裕。

附件H打擊貪腐北京宣言

我們APEC會員體認識到，腐敗阻礙了經濟的持續發展，威脅了社會保障和公平性，破壞法治，並削弱政府的公信力，以及民眾的信任。我們重申《聖地牙哥反貪腐並確保透明化宣言》，《APEC 打擊貪腐與確保透明行動方針》，以及海參威領袖宣言的反貪腐並確保透明化。這反映了我們持續打擊所有在亞太地區貪腐的承諾，不論是公共部門或私營部門。我們讚揚反貪腐及透明化工作小組（ACTWG）指導我們，而加強我們的決心，有效地打擊跨國貪腐，還有其多年來與APEC企業諮詢委員會（ABAC）以及與主要的區域和國際合作夥伴致力於APEC次級論壇之間的工作。我們高度讚揚所有APEC會員體在亞太地區對於保護完整性，提高透明度和社會參與的持續貢獻。我們認識到增加全球連接性需要強而有力的國際合作，才能成功打擊貪腐，因此進一步加強

APEC反貪污及透明化框架內的國際合作新領域和在反貪腐鬥爭中的共同努力，催促各經濟體加強現有的合作和發展以對抗貪腐。以此為戒，我們在此呼籲亞太地區以國內法律和政策，透過以下行動使國際合作更加一致：

--重申我們將使那些貪腐者無處藏身的承諾，包括引渡，司法互助，以及透過更靈活的國內立法途徑討回貪腐所得並致力於預防，調查，起訴和懲罰貪腐犯罪的國際合作。 --加強APEC會員體之間國內法的資訊交流，了解涉及貪腐刑事調查公職人員的跨界行動和其非法所得資產，以便幫助打擊腐敗、賄賂和最大程度的非法資金流動；呼籲法人和法律受益權的透明度必須符合「國際金融工作小組」(FATF)的定義，因而能有效地預防和偵查貪腐行為。 --透過現有的國際法律文件重新看待加強雙邊合作的潛力，以對抗貪污，如：「聯合國反貪污公約」(UNCAC)、「聯合國打擊跨國組織犯罪公約」(UNTOC)和「APEC反貪污及透明化行動綱領」，以及鼓勵會員體簽署並締結雙邊引渡條約和法律互助協定；並歡迎遵循成功案例的反貪腐計畫。 --建立APEC反貪腐和執法機構網路(ACT-NET)辦事處，負責處裡每日行政庶務並發展為一個非正式的網路，在亞太地區的反腐敗和執法機構之間分享資訊、交流最佳實踐與技術以協助偵查、調查和起訴貪污、賄賂、洗錢和非法貿易。 --透過支援和參與ACT-NET和其他多邊網路，加強國際合作的成效，如：UNCAC、UNTOC、經濟合作與發展組織(OECD)、FATF以及亞太洗錢防制組織(APG)，以促進執法、檢察、監管和金融情報實體之間有效的國際、區域和雙邊合作，並支援開發和引進新的反貪腐工具和倡議，如：特定管轄指南，以提供反貪腐和執法機構的技術援助來協助會員體。 --共同追求培育公平和開放的市場，鼓勵會員體進行提倡、頒佈、實施和不斷完善，酌情立法禁止賄賂；認識加強跨界合作的重要性，以防止、調查並起訴賄賂行為；鼓勵會員體擴大並加強各國政府和企業間的反賄賂；歡迎會員體已開發的相關工
