Underlining that the increasing interdependence of national economies in a globalizing world and the emergence of rule-based regimes for international economic relations have meant that the space for national economic policy, that is, the scope for domestic policies, especially in the areas of trade, investment and industrial development, is now often framed by international disciplines, commitments and global market considerations; that it is for each Government to evaluate the trade-off between the benefits of accepting international rules and commitments and the constraints posed by the loss of policy space; and that it is particularly important for developing countries, bearing in mind development goals and objectives, that all countries take into account the need for appropriate balance between national policy space and international disciplines and commitments,
强调在全球化世界中，各国国民经济日益相互依存，国际经济关系出现了有章可循的制度，这意味着目前国家经济政策的空间，也就是国内政策的范围，特别是在贸易、投资和工业发展等领域，已往往被国际法则、承诺和全球市场因素定了框框；每个政府都要衡量接受国际规则和承诺的得失，评价失去政策空间所受到的约束；对发展中国家特别重要的是，铭记着各项发展目标和目的，所有国家都应考虑到需要在国家政策空间与国际法则和承诺之间保持适当平衡，
