MODÈLE DE NOTIFICATION POUR LES ACCORDS 
COMMERCIAUX RÉGIONAUX 
 
Adopté par le Comité du commerce et du développement 
 
le 6 mars 2007  
 
 
Les accords commerciaux régionaux (ACR) conclus récemment sont notifiés comme 
suit: 
 - Conseil du commerce des marchandises (CCM):  unions douanières, zones de 
libre-échange et accords provisoires, notifiés au titre de l'article XXIV:7 a) du 
GATT de 1994; 
  - Conseil du commerce des services (CCS):  accords d'intégration économique, 
notifiés au titre de l'article V:7 a) de l'AGCS; 
  - Comité du commerce et du développement (CCD):  arrangements régionaux ou 
mondiaux conclus entre pays en développement, notifiés au titre du 
paragraphe 4 a) de la Décision sur le traitement différencié et plus favorable, la réciprocité et la participation plus complète des pays en voie de développement (Clause d'habilitation). 
 
 Le Comité des accords commerciaux régionaux est convenu, le 13 octobre 2006, de 
recommander au CCD d'adopter un modèle commun pour ces notifications, lequel est annexé au présent document. 
 Le modèle proposé aiderait les parties à se conformer à l'obligation de notifier un ACR 
tout en mettant à la disposition des autres Membres de l'OMC les éléments essentiels nécessaires de manière systématique et cohérente.  La notification serait reproduite, selon qu'il 
conviendrait, dans un document officiel de l'OMC à cote multiple. 
 La présente proposition est de nature procédurale et sa mise en œuvre n'entraînerait 
aucune modification des droits et obligations juridiques des Membres.
