Comprendre l'OMC
Il y a plusieurs manières de considérer l'Organisation mondiale du commerce. C'est une organisation qui s'occupe de l'ouverture commerciale. C'est une enceinte où les gouvernements négocient des accords commerciaux. C'est un lieu où ils règlent leurs différends commerciaux. C'est une organisation qui administre un ensemble de règles commerciales. L'OMC est essentiellement un lieu où les gouvernements Membres tentent de régler les problèmes commerciaux qui les opposent.
Concluding remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. Vesa Himanen at the Trade Policy Review of the United States 9 and 11 June 2008
This ninth Trade Policy Review of the United States has allowed us to hold a frank discussion on U.S. trade policies and practices, focusing on changes since the last U.S. review in March 2006. The discussions have benefited from the full engagement of the U.S. delegation, led by Ambassador Allgeier, from the constructive contributions by the discussant, Ambassador Uribe, and from the comments by Members.
