Résumé : With the conclusion of the Uruguay Round of trade talks in 1994 and the simultaneous creation of the World Trade Organization, food and agricultural products were brought fully into the fold of international trading rules. As tariffs and quantitative restrictions were significantly reduced, regulatory measures have come to center stage as potential sources of trade restrictions. Such measures, designed to ensure food safety, consumer protection, and plant and animal health, are regulated by two agreements annexed to the general trade accords: the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement and the amended Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Agreement. Both agreements provide for special assistance to developing countries, to facilitate their access to opening markets. The preliminary record, after 6 years of implementation, suggests that greater efforts are needed to make the trading system more transparent and beneficial to developing countries.
