  MESURE PRISE PAR LE GOUVERNEMENT CANADIEN POUR  
ÉLIMINER UNILATÉRALEMENT CERTAINS  
DROITS NPF APPLIQUÉS  
COMMUNICATION PRÉSENTÉE PAR LE CANADA  
 
 
La communication ci -après, datée du 19 avril 2017, est distribuée à la demande de la délégation 
du Canada . 
_______ ________  
 
 
1. Soucieux de démontrer son engagement en faveur de la libéralisation progressive des 
échanges , le Canada souhaite informer les Membres de  l'Organ isation mondiale du commerce 
d'une mesure  récente  qu'il a prise  unilatéralement afin d'éliminer le s droits NPF appliqués à une 
large gamme d'ingrédients  importés  destinés à la fabrication de produits alimentaires.  
 
2. À compter du 1 6 janvier  2017, le gouvernement canadien a éliminé les droits de douane visant  
certains ingrédients importés utilisés dans l'industrie agroalimentaire , y compris certains fruits et 
légumes, céréales, épices, graisses et huiles, préparations alimentaires et articles en chocolats , qui 
représentent des importations passibles de droits d'une valeur de 700 millions de dollars environ 
par an.1 
 
3. L'élimination de ces droits de douane vise à renforcer la compétitivité des transformateurs 
canadiens de produits agroalimentaires sur le marché intérieur  et les marchés étrangers grâce à 
une réduction des  coûts de production, ce qui souti endra l'investissement et créera des emplois de 
classe moyenne bien rémunérés dans ce secteur important.  
 
4. Même si ces mesures visent principalement à améliorer la compétitivité des fabricants 
canadiens, elles constituent également un exemple concret  du rôle de leader mondial joué par le 
Canada dans l'ouverture du commerce.  
 
5. Cette initiative se situe dans le prolongement de l'élimination unilatérale intervenue ces 
dernières années de tous les droits de douane restants appliqués par le Canada aux machin es et 
au matériel et aux intrants manufacturiers industriels importés .2 Un étude de cas de l'OCDE de 
novembre  2013 a souligné à quel point ces mesures avaient permis de renforcer la position du 
Canada dans les chaînes de valeur mondiales, ainsi que son att rait aux yeux des investisseurs et 
des milieux d'affaires.3 
 
6. Le Canada espère que ces mesures encourageront d'autres Membres à réfléchir à des manières 
similaires de soutenir l'ouverture des marchés mondiaux et d'améliorer la compétitivité nationale 
grâce à la libéralisation  unilatérale des échanges.
