外贸代理制度的主要内容

1、外贸代理制

外贸代理制是指由外贸公司充当国内客户和供货部门的代理人,代理委托方签订进出口合同,收取一定的佣金或手续费的做法。外贸企业需要承担相应的责任,而价格和其他合同条款的最终决定权属于委托方,进出口盈亏和履约责任最终由委托方承担。外贸代理制作为社会分工的产物,对开拓国际市场具有重大的作用,经过多年的发展和完善,已经成为现代国际贸易中一种重要的贸易方式。

2、中国外贸代理制的概念简介

所谓外贸代理,就是由中国的外贸公司充当国内客户和供货部门的代理人,代其签订进出口合同,收取一定的佣金或手续费的做法。过去长期以来,中国外贸公司在出口方面一直是采取收购制,即由外贸公司用自有资金向国内供货部门收购出口商品,然后由外贸公司以自己的名义自营出口,自负盈亏。

推行外贸代理制的主要目的之一就是要改变过去的传统做法,即改为由外贸公司接受国内供货部门的委托,代其对外签订出口合同,代办出口手续,收取约定的佣金,至于出口的盈亏则由国内供货部门自负。

这项改革的主要好处在于:它有利于国内供货部门了解国际市场对产品的要求,促使他们提高出口产品的质量;增强其竞争能力和出口创汇能力;增强国内生产供货部门对履行出口合同的责任感,促使其改善经营管理,提高经济效益;同时还可以减轻外贸公司在收购出口货源方面的财务负担,并使外贸公司的经营方式更加灵活多样。对于工贸双方都十分有利。

3、相关法规

中国《民法通则》第63条规定:“公民、法人可以通过代理人实施民事法律行为。代理人在代理权限内,以被代理人的名义实施民事法律行为,被代理人对代理人的代理行为承担民事责任。”

4、各国法规

对于代理的概念,大陆法系各国一般都规定得比较窄。《德国民法典》第164条第1款规定:“代理人于代理权限内,以被代理人名义所为的意思表示,直接为被代理人和对被代理人发生效力。”

《法国民法典》第1984条规定:“委托或代理,为一方授权他方以委托人的名义为委托人处理事务的行为。”

大陆法系各国为了拓宽代理的适用范围还规定,只有当被代理人经过两道合同手续才能与第三人发生法律关系,第一个是代理人与第三人订立的合同,第二个是代理人把有关权利转让于被代理人的合同。英美法系中代理概念的含义则较为完整并具有整体化的特征。

英国法学家认为“当一人(代理人)根据委托人(被代理人)授权而与第三人订立合同时,该代理人与委托人之间发生的法律关系称为代理。代理人所订立的合同对委托人和该第三人发生效力。”

显然这个概念表述的代理既包括显名代理、隐名代理即所谓代理人在同第三人订立合同时表明他是代理人,但没有指出他为之代理的被代理人的姓名的代理),也包括未经披露被代理人身份的代理,并且即使是在未经披露被代理人身份的代理关系中,三方当事人之间的关系也表现为一个有机联系的整体。

相比之下,中国《民法通则》第63条规定的代理的概念却显得过于狭窄,即代理必须以被代理人的名义,而且只将代理理解为代理人的行为。从法理上来看,代理不仅指代理行为,也指代理法律制度,更重要的是指代理法律关系。

据此有的学者提出,“代理是发生在被代理人、代理人及第三人之间的民事法律关系,代理人依代理权与第三人进行民事活动,其权利义务直接由被代理人承担,但行纪关系不包括在代理概念之中。”这一概念拓宽了中国代理概念的范畴,表明中国的代理不仅应包括显名代理,也应包括隐名代理,并将行纪作为一种独立的民事法律关系。
