Abstract

[eng] The Outlook for Basic Products Agreements - France has always favoured inter-governmental agreements to organize the market of basic products at stable and fair price levels. Only a small number of agreements of this kind have come into force after difficult negotiations. This is why within the new world economic order that it advocates the United Nations General Assembly came out in favour of an « integrated global approach », which, while taking into consideration the characteristics of each basic product, should enable the discussion to restant on a broader basis. The fourth United Nations Trade and Development Conference held in Nairobi in May 1976 has just set up a procedure and a working calendar which should enable practical conclusions to be reached in the near future. However, the reservations expressed by some countries representing a large proportion of world trade lead to fears that the political goodwill, without which the compromises necessary for the negotiations to succeed cannot be reached, is not always present. [fre] La France a toujours été favorable à la conclusion d'accords intergouvernementaux destinés à organiser les marchés des produits de base à des niveaux de prix stables et équitables. Un petit nombre seulement d'accords de ce type a pu être mis en vigueur après de difficiles négociations. C'est pourquoi, dans le cadre du nouvel ordre économique mondial dont elle préconise l'établissement, l'Assemblée Générale des Nations Unies s'est prononcée en faveur d'une « approche globale intégrée » qui, tout en tenant pleinement compte des caractéristiques de chaque produit de base, devrait permettre de reprendre les travaux sur une base élargie. Précisément, la quatrième CNUCED (Conférence des Nations Unies pour le Commerce et le Développement) tenue à Nairobi en mai 1976, vient de mettre au point une procédure et un calendrier de travail qui devraient permettre d'aboutir à des conclusions pratiques dans un proche avenir. Toutefois, les réserves formulées par quelques pays représentant une part importante du commerce mondial, font craindre que puisse manquer parfois la volonté politique sans laquelle ne s'ébaucheront pas les compromis nécessaires au succès des négociations.
