Market access
Remerciements
Les auteurs tiennent à remercier tous ceux qui ont communiqué des données y compris les notifications figurant dans le sujet spécial, principalement les administrations des pays/territoires et les délégations auprès de l'OMC. Dans certains cas, les données ont été mises à disposition sur les sites Web des pays/territoires ou par l'intermédiaire d'organisations régionales. Vu le grand nombre de données statistiques et de métadonnées qu'il fallait traiter, et comme celles-ci n'étaient pas disponibles au sein d'une seule organisation, cette publication n'a été possible que grâce aux efforts conjoints de l'OMC, de l'ITC et de la CNUCED. Les trois organisations possèdent chacune une expérience reconnue et des avantages comparatifs dans le domaine de l'analyse tarifaire.
