摘　　要：DS583争端方依据DSU第25条提起仲裁,并将其“视为”上诉仲裁。“仲裁”与“上诉”本是两个性质不同的争端解决方式,二者为替代关系,不能同时作为同一个争端的解决手段。WTO部分成员之间达成的MPIA,起到了衔接两个程序的作用。“DS583仲裁程序”实质为MPIA下的上诉仲裁程序的第一次实操,其裁决具有上诉仲裁裁决的效力,即该裁决为终局裁决,对双方具有法律约束力,且不会被撤销或被宣布无效。原因在于“DS583仲裁程序”与MPIA下的仲裁程序基本一致,且“DS583仲裁程序”处理的实体问题为“专家组结论”,而不是引起争端发生的最初争议措施。在上诉机构无法正常运行的情况下,DS583通过实质上为MPIA下的上诉仲裁程序解决了上诉问题,重新树立了成员对WTO争端解决机制的信心。The DS583 disputing party initiated arbitration in accordance with Article XXV of DSU and regarded it as an appeal arbitration."Arbitration"and"appeal"are originally two different dispute settlement methods.They are substitutes and cannot be used as the means of settlement of the same dispute at the same time.The MPIA reached by some WTO members has played a role in connecting the two procedures.In essence,the DS583 arbitration procedure is the first practice of the appeal arbitration procedure under MPIA,and its award has the effect of the appeal arbitration award,that is,the award is final and legally binding on both parties,and will not be revoked or declared invalid.The reasons are that the DS583 arbitration procedure is basically the same as the arbitration procedure under Annex 1 of MPIA,and the substantive issues handled by the DS583 arbitration procedure are from the report of the expert group,not the initial dispute measures that caused the dispute.In the case that the Appellate Body could not operate normally,DS583 solved the appellate issue through the appellate arbitration procedure under MPIA in essence,and to a certain extent reestablished the confidence of members in the WTO dispute settlement mechanism.
