Abstract

Cet article propose une évaluation des effets sur le marché mondial de l'Organisation commune de marché (OCM) de la banane, mise en place par l'Union européenne (UE) le 1er juillet 1993, et modifiée en avril 1994. A l'aide d'un modèle statique d'équilibre partiel du marché mondial de la banane, les auteurs quantifient les effets de la nouvelle réglementation communautaire sur les prix intérieurs et mondiaux, la structure des importations européennes de bananes en provenance des pays d'Amérique latine, des pays de la zone Afrique-Caraïbes-Pacifique (ACP) et des zones productrices de l'UE, la consommation des différents Etats membres et le bien-être des consommateurs et des producteurs. Les résultats de simulations suggèrent que les effets de la mise en oeuvre de l'OCM de la banane sont sensibles à deux facteurs clés : la taille du contingent tarifaire appliqué aux importations communautaires de bananes dollar et non-traditionnelles ACP et la capacité des pays ACP à utiliser pleinement leurs propres contingents.
