COMMUNIQUÉ 
DE PRESSE

19 mars 2004

ASSISTANCE TECHNIQUE 
La Norvège fait une donation de 10 millions de couronnes 
norvégiennes en faveur de l'assistance technique de l'OMC 
Le 15 mars 2004, le gouvernement norvégien a apporté une contribution de 10 millions de 
couronnes norvégiennes (1,8 million de francs suisse s) au Fonds global d'affectation spéciale pour 
le Programme de Doha pour le dé veloppement.  Cette contribution sera utilisée pour financer la 
mise en œuvre du plan d'assistance technique et de formation de l'OMC pour 2004.  
Le Directeur général de l'OMC, M. Supachai Panitchpakdi, et l'Ambassadeur norvégien, 
M. Eirik Glenne, ont signé le Mémorandum d'accord sur la contribution de la Norvège le 15 mars 2004. 
 
"La Norvège apporte, depuis plusieurs années, un solide soutien à l'assistance technique liée au commerce que l'OMC a mise en place en faveur des pays en développement, et en particulier des 
pays les moins avancés" a indiqué l'Ambassadeur norvégien, M. Eirik Glenne.  "Contribuer à 
renforcer la capacité des pays en développement et des pays les moins avancés pour leur permettre de tirer pleinement parti du système commercial multilatéral est une priorité politique 
importante du gouvernement norvégien.  La contribution faite aujourd'hui au Plan d'assistance 
technique de l'OMC pour 2004 est l'expression concrète de notre participation continue aux efforts de l'OMC dans ce domaine." 
 
"Je suis extrêmement reconnaissant à la Norvège de cette nouvelle contribution au Fonds d'affectation spéciale" a indiqué le Directeur géné ral de l'OMC, M. Supachai Panitchpakdi.  "Ce 
n'est qu'avec la pleine participation de tous les Membres de l'Organisation que nous garantirons le 
succès du Cycle de négociations de Doha.  De plus en plus, les pays en développement font part de leur désir de contribuer plus activement aux débats de l'OMC.  Nous pouvons les aider, par 
l'assistance technique." 
 La Norvège est l'un des Membres qui a apporté les plus grosses contributions volontaires aux 
activités d'assistance technique de l'OMC depuis 1995, avec un total de 8,7 millions de francs 
suisses.  
Le Fonds de Doha a été créé à la suite de la Conférence ministérielle de l'OMC tenue à Doha en 
novembre 2001, au cours de laquelle un nouveau cycle de négociations a été lancé.  En décembre 2003, le Conseil général a approuvé un montant de 24 millions de francs suisses comme 
objectif pour le Fonds d'affectation spéciale pour 2004.
