ACTIVITÉ PARALLÈLE DE L'OCDE  
COÛTS, AVANTAGES ET EFFICACITÉ DES AUDITS À DISTANCE  
POUR LA SÉCURITÉ ALIMENTAIRE INTERNATIONALE  
COMMUNICATION PRÉSENTÉE PAR L'OCDE  
La communication ci -après, reçue le 18 octobre  2023, est distribuée à la demande de l' OCDE . 
_______________  
 
 
1.  Les audits à distance ont permis au commerce international des produits alimentaires de se 
poursuivre malgré les graves perturbations causées par la pandémie de COVID -19, mais quel 
sera leur rôle à l'ave nir? Sur la base d'études de cas et d'une enquête de l'OCDE, ce rapport 
examine le coût, les avantages et l'efficacité des audits à distance . L'analyse révèle que les 
principaux avantages sont notamment la réduction des frais de voyage et de l'empreinte ca rbone, 
une utilisation plus souple du temps ainsi que  des possibilités de former et d'impliquer davantage 
de personnel . Toutefois, il existe  des inconvénients majeurs, notamment des limitations dans la 
collecte  des éléments de preuve, la lourde charge supplémentaire que représente le temps de 
préparation, les problèmes de connectivité Internet et le manque de relations interpersonnelles . 
En général, la plupart des parties prenantes considèrent que les audits à d istance sont moins 
efficaces que les audits sur place, en particulier les audits de systèmes réglementaires ou les 
audits physiques d 'établissements . Ce rapport souligne la nécessité d'harmoniser la terminologie 
dans ce domaine de travail et d'élaborer des  lignes directrices pratiques établissant quand et 
comment effectuer  des audits à distance.  
2.  Ce rapport sera présenté durant une activité parallèle à la réunion du Comité SPS , le 
16 novembre  2023 de 14 heures à 14h50 (HEC) . La réunion se tiendra sous forme hybride , et il 
sera possible d'y accéder en ligne en s'enregistrant en suivant ce lien , ou d'y assister en personne

CUBA – ARTICLE XV:6  
EXTENSION OF WAIVER  
Decision of 23 November 20211 
 Noting  the request by the Government of Cuba for an extension of the waiver relieving it from 
the provisions of paragraph 6 of Article XV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade  1994, 
which provide that any Contracting Party which ceases to be a member of the International  Monetary 
Fund shall enter into a special exchange agreement with the WTO;  
 Considering  once again that, owing to special circumstances, the application of the provisions 
of paragraph 6 of Article XV to Cuba would raise a number of legal a nd practical difficulties;  
 Noting  the assurances given by the Government of Cuba that it will use the waiver with the 
purpose of continuing to promote trade and investment with Members;  
 The Members, acting pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 3 of Art icle IX of the Agreement 
on the WTO,  
 Decide:  
1. Without derogation from any other provisions of Article XV and subject to the terms and 
conditions set out below, to extend the waiver granted to the Government of Cuba by Decision of 
7 August  1964, as exten ded on 18  October  1996, 20  December  2001, 15  December  2006, 
14 February  2012, and 12  December  2016, relieving it from the provisions of paragraph 6 of the 
said Article from 1  January  2022 to 31  December  2026.  
2. The extension shall be subject to the Govern ment of Cuba satisfying the WTO that it has 
complied with its undertaking to make use of the waiver without thereby affecting the objectives of 
the General Agreement or harming or impairing the rights of the other contracting parties.  
3. The Government of Cuba will submit to the General Council an annual report on the 
implementation of this waiver with a view to facilitating the annual review provided for in 
paragraph  4 of Article IX of the WTO Agreement.  
4. The Government of Cuba will, upon request, prompt ly enter into consultations with any 
interested Member with respect to any difficulty or matter that may arise as a result of the 
implementation of this waiver, where a Member considers that any benefit accruing to it under the 
GATT  1994 may be or is being  impaired unduly as a result of such implementation. Such consultation 
shall examine the possibility of action for a satisfactory adjustment of the matter. This decision does 
not affect Members' rights as set forth in the Understanding in Respect of Waiver s of Obligations 
under the GATT  1994.
