Our discussions have benefited from the participation of H.E. Ms Naha Mint Hamdi Ould Mouknass, Minister for Trade, Industry and Tourism and head of the delegation of Mauritania, and Ms Fanta Cisse, Secretary General of the Ministry of Trade and head of the delegation of Guinea. I am also grateful to H.E. Mr Alberto Sanz for his contribution as the discussant, and to the Members for their commitment to this review.

Institutions et questions de fond
Dans la présente section, on examinera la manière dont la normalisation et l’évaluation de la conformité fonctionnent dans la pratique et les caractéristiques pertinentes des infrastructures mises en place à cet effet dans différentes régions du monde. On considérera tout d’abord le processus de normalisation: les endroits où il a lieu, la manière dont il est organisé et ses protagonistes. On étudiera ensuite, dans la sous-section 2, l’organisation de l’évaluation de la conformité aux niveaux international, régional et national et les incidences que les prescriptions en matière d’évaluation de la conformité peuvent avoir sur les échanges.
