Abstract

Le nouveau régime d'importation de la banane dans l'Union européenne (UE) est un processus en deux étapes vers un système de droit de douane unique qui devrait entrer en vigueur au plus tard le 1er janvier 2006. Pendant la phase de transition 2001-2005, les importations communautaires de bananes continueront d'être régies par un système de contingents tarifaires. L'article fournit une évaluation quantitative de ce nouveau régime d'importation. L'analyse met l'accent sur l'évolution de la structure des importations communautaires entre origines préférentielles et non préférentielles pendant la phase de transition. Puis le droit de douane équivalent qui devrait être appliqué en 2006 aux importations communautaires en provenance des origines non préférentielles est calculé. Les résultats suggèrent que les pays ACP (Afrique, Caraïbes et Pacifique) les plus vulnérables, en particulier les Etats des Caraïbes, devraient pâtir de cette nouvelle régulation sauf dans le cas où ils recevraient des compensations, sous forme d'aides directes, leur permettant d'améliorer la compétitivité de leur production de bananes.
