UK calls for urgent reforms at the World Trade Organization
英國呼籲世界貿易組織進行緊急改革
The United Kingdom is advocating for urgent reforms to the World Trade Organization (WTO), arguing that the institution, founded in 1995, has become outdated.
英國正致力於推動世界貿易組織（WTO）的迫切改革，主張該組織自1995年成立以來已顯得陳舊過時（ㄔㄣˊㄐㄧㄡˋㄍㄨㄛˋㄕˊ）。
London describes itself as a "critical friend," pushing to transform the WTO into a modern, effective system that can handle the challenges of 21st-century global trade.
倫敦當局將自己定位為一位「批判性友人」，推動將WTO轉型為現代且有效的體系，以應對21世紀全球貿易的挑戰。
A top priority for the UK is restoring the WTO's dispute settlement system, which is currently paralyzed due to issues with judicial appointments.
英國的首要任務是恢復WTO的爭端解決機制，該機制目前因司法任命問題而陷入癱瘓（ㄊㄢㄏㄨㄢˋ）。
Furthermore, the UK supports the use of "plurilateral agreements" to tackle modern issues like digital trade and environmental standards, which are difficult to address through traditional consensus-based methods.
此外，英國支持利用「複邊協定」來解決數位貿易與環境標準等現代議題，這些議題難以透過傳統的共識制方法來處理。
Post-Brexit, the UK has taken a more independent role, joining reform-minded groups to address systemic problems.
脫歐（ㄊㄨㄛㄡ）後，英國採取了更為獨立的角色，加入改革導向的團體以解決系統性問題。
This includes tackling "non-market" practices like state subsidies and reforming the criteria for "developing nation" status, which the UK argues is often misused by large economies to gain unfair advantages.
這包括應對政府補貼等「非市場」行為，並改革「開發中國家」地位的認定標準；英國認為大型經濟體常濫用此地位以獲取不公平的優勢。
By moving away from endless process debates toward achieving substantive results, the UK aims to curb protectionism and provide the stability necessary for global businesses to thrive.
透過減少無休止的程序辯論，轉而追求實質成果，英國旨在遏制保護主義，並為全球企業的蓬勃發展提供必要的穩定性。
For a trade-dependent nation like the UK, a functioning WTO is essential to ensure a fair and competitive international marketplace.
對於像英國這樣依賴貿易的國家而言，一個運作良好的WTO對於確保公平且具有競爭力的國際市場至關重要。
