signatory nationとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Bilateral investment agreements had traditionally been seen as “investment protection agreements,” designed to protect investors from possible expropriations of investment properties and other risks such as arbitrary operation of law by investment recipient countries, as the agreements stipulate the following as all or part of their main contents: National Treatment (NT) and Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) Treatment after investment is made; expropriations and compensation; freedom of remittance; resolution of conflicts between the signatory countries; resolution of conflicts between signatory countries and investors; and other aspects.例文帳に追加

二国間投資協定は、従来、投資受入国による投資財産の収用や、その法律の恣意的な運用等のリスクから投資家を保護するため、投資後の内国民待遇・最恵国待遇、収用と補償、送金の自由、締約国間の紛争処理、締約国と投資家の紛争処理又はその一部等を主要な内容とする「投資保護協定」として位置づけられてきた。 - 経済産業省

In the 1990s, however, a new type of investment agreement – the "Investment Protection and Liberalization Agreement" was introduced, which includes provisions to grant the national treatment/most-favored-nation status as soon as the investment is licensed, prohibit the performance requests16, ban enhancement of foreign capital controls, mandate efforts for gradual liberalization, and secure transparency (mandating the publication of laws and response to inquiries from the signatory)17 (see Table 4-4-19).例文帳に追加

1990年代に入ると、そうした通常の投資財産保護の枠組みに加えて、投資許可段階での内国民待遇・最恵国待遇の確保、パフォーマンス要求16の禁止、外資規制強化の禁止や漸進的な自由化の努力義務、透明性（法令の公表、相手国からの照会への回答義務等）の確保等を盛り込んだ新しいタイプの投資協定（「投資保護・自由化協定」）が出てきた（第4-4-19表）17。 - 経済産業省
