中国内地首个自由贸易园区将落户申城。记者昨天从有关部门获悉，上海已向国家相关管理部门提交了在上海综合保税区设立自由贸易园区的申请，相关试点工作最快有望于今年启动。

Mainland China's first free trade zone will be settled in Shanghai.Reporters yesterday from the relevant departments learned,Shanghai has to the national related administrative departments of the state council for the comprehensive free trade zone in Shanghai set up free trade zone application,Related pilot work that is expected to happen in this boot.

　　自由贸易园区是由单个国家或地区为降低国际贸易成本，促进对外贸易和国际投资的发展，在自己境内设定的某特定区域，以便实施海关保税、免税等特殊监管政策。与国内现有的保税区体制相比，自由贸易园区在外汇管理、货物监管、企业建立等方面拥有更多的贸易便利化条件，因此也被视为保税区的“升级版”。

Free trade zone is up to the individual countries or regions to reduce the cost of international trade,To promote the development of foreign trade and international investment,In their own domestic set a particular area,In order to implement customs bonded/Tax and other special supervision policy.With domestic existing bonded area compared to the system,Free trade zone in the foreign exchange management/Goods supervision/The establishment of enterprises have more trade facilitation condition,So can also be seen as the bonded area"Upgrade edition".

　　记者了解到，上海综保区一旦试点自由贸易园区工作，将实现离岸贸易与在岸贸易，物流功能与结算功能，内贸与外贸的统筹协调发展，成为上海国际金融中心、国际航运中心、国际贸易中心建设的最大结合体，为上海参与更大范围的国际竞争打开一扇大门。

The reporter understands,Shanghai harness the area once pilot work free trade zone,Will achieve offshore trade and the trade,Logistics function and settlement function,Domestic trade and foreign trade coordination development,Become Shanghai international financial center/The international shipping center/International trade center construction of the largest combination,For Shanghai to participate in a wide range of international competition to open a door.

　　试水自由贸易园区后，上海综保区将成为申城的“制度创新池”，一系列旨在进一步活跃市场机制的探索有可能渐次展开。比如，在外汇管理等方面，给予区内符合一定条件的企业以“有限离岸地位”。这是发展离岸贸易、发展高端航运金融等业务的政策起点，否则企业的很多高端服务功能很难形成与境外同业的竞争优势。

Test the waters free trade after the park,Shanghai harness the area will become the Shanghai"System innovation pool",A series of market mechanism to further active exploration may gradually spread.Such as,In the foreign exchange management, etc,Give the accord with certain conditions of the enterprise to"Co., LTD., offshore status".This is to develop offshore trade/The development of high-end shipping financial business policy starting point,Otherwise the enterprise a lot of high-end service function is difficult to formation and foreign trade competitive advantage.
