Conférence ministérielle 
Neuvième session 
Bali, 3-6 décembre 2013  Original: anglais  
 
  DÉCLARATION DE S.E. MME AMELIA ANNE KYAMBADDE 
MINISTRE DU COMMERCE, DE L'INDUSTRIE  
ET DES COOPÉRATIVES  
OUGANDA  
Au nom de ma délégation, je tiens à remercier le gouvernement et le peuple de la République 
d'Indonésie pour leur chaleureuse hospitalité. Je voudrais aussi féliciter le Directeur général pour la manière dont il a dirigé l'Organisation et me né les négociations qui ont permis d'aboutir au 
paquet qui est maintenant devant nous.  
 L'Ouganda est conscient des progrès déjà accomplis sur certaines questions de fond qui ont fait 
l'objet de négociations et constituent le paquet dont nous sommes saisis. Il se félicite en particulier 
des quatre projets de décision qui portent sur les règles d'origine préférentielles pour les pays les 
moins avancés; la mise en œuvre effective de la dérogation concernant le traitement préférentiel 
pour les services et fournisseurs de services des pays les moins avancés; l'accès aux marchés en 
franchise de droits et sans contingent pour les pays les moins avancés; et le coton.   Nous reconnaissons en outre qu'un certain nombre d'autres questions, tout aussi importantes, 
demeurent en suspens et devront être examinées après Bali, notamment l'Accord sur la facilitation 
des échanges, l'agriculture et le traitement spécial et différencié.   
Il importe donc que la présente Conférence ministérielle affiche avec force sa volonté d'aborder 
ces questions en suspens dans des délais convenus, spécifiques et réalistes après Bali.  
Pour l'Ouganda, le programme de travail de l'après-Bali devrait porter en priorité sur les questions 
suivantes:  
i) modalités de mise en œuvre de la fourniture de l'assistance technique et financière 
dont il est question dans le paquet; 
 ii) préoccupations pertinentes soulevées concernant les dispositions du paragraphe 44 de 
la Déclaration ministérielle de Doha sur le traitement spécial et différencié; 
 iii) solution permanente à la question de la détention de stocks publics à des fins de 
sécurité alimentaire d'ici à la dixième Conférence ministérielle; et 
 vi) élimination de toutes les formes de subventions à l'exportation comme il était 
demandé dans la Déclaration ministérielle de Hong Kong d'ici à la dixième Conférence 
ministérielle. 
 En conclusion, nous estimons que le programme de travail de l'après-Bali devrait être axé sur la 
conclusion du Programme de Doha pour le développement et qu'il faut résister à la tentation 
d'introduire de nouvelles questions. Nous souhaitons également insister à nouveau sur les dispositions du paragraphe 47 de la Déclaration ministérielle de Doha relatives à la mise en œuvre 
à titre provisoire des accords afin de préserver le bilan global des négociations.
