COMMERCIALE DE L'OMC
Au cours d'une cérémonie qui s'est tenue à Genève le jeudi 5 avril 2001, le Directeur général,
M. Mike Moore a remis leur diplôme aux participants au 16ème stage de politique commerciale de
l'OMC, venus de 30 pays et territoires douaniers.  En félicitant les participants, M. Moore a déclaré:"Je suis sûr que vous avez acquis des connaissances qui serviront les intérêts de vos pays et de vos
peuples".  M. Moore a ajouté qu'en dépit du fait que les places disponibles dans les stages soient
limitées par le manque de ressources, ces activités ont une incidence significative sur le renforcement
des capacités.
Au nom du groupe de participants, M. Ka-shing Au, de Hong Kong, Chine, a remercié le
Directeur général pour le soutien au renforcement des capacités fourni par les activités de formation
de l'OMC.  M. Au a souligné la dimension humaine de ce stage, assurant M. Moore que les contacts
étroits noués durant le stage, tant entre participants qu'avec l'OMC, resteraient des liens solides.
Le 16
ème stage de politique commerciale de l'OMC, qui s'est tenu du 15 janvier au
5 avril 2001, sera suivi d'un stage similaire en français, qui débutera le 23 avril 2001.
