(...) le contrat-cadre de contrepartie comprend souvent une clause générale de qualité qui indique que les produits compensatoires doivent être de «qualité habituelle d'exportation», ou «d'un niveau de qualité concurrentiel sur les marchés internationaux», ou qui reprend d'autres notions semblables dont l'imprécision laisse place à de nombreuses interprétations divergentes et conflictuelles, surtout si l'on considère l'absence de données objectives propres à la qualité des produits compensatoires.
