The Working Group on Trade and Competition under NAFTA Article 1504("WG") is required to report to the NAFTA Commission on issues concerning the relationship between competition law and policy and trade in the free trade area no later than December 31, 1998, and to make recommendations on further work as appropriate. In this interim report, the WG describes its work accomplished to date and its workplan for the remainder of its five year mandate. The WG has undertaken its mandate via the generation of papers which address trade and competition issues in terms of :(i) setting out the contextual framework of the discussion,(ii) the comparison of competition laws, and(iii) specific issues relevant to trade and competition. The studies undertaken to date identify similarities and differences between the competition laws and policies of the three NAFTA Parties, and consider which, if any, of these differences may have implications for trade among the three contracting parties. 3, record 1, English, - Working%20Group%20on%20Trade%20and%20Competition

Le groupe de travail sur le commerce et la concurrence établi en vertu de l'article 1504 (le «GT«) est tenu de faire rapport à la Commission de l'ALENA des questions concernant les rapports entre les lois et politiques en matière de concurrence et le commerce dans la zone de libre-échange au plus tard le 31 décembre 1998 et de formuler les recommandations sur les travaux supplémentaires qui pourront être appropriés. Dans le présent rapport, le GT fait état des travaux effectués à ce jour et de son plan de travail pour le reste de son mandat de cinq ans. Le GT a entrepris son mandat en produisant des études sur le commerce et la concurrence qui ont pour objet (i) de définir le cadre contextuel de la discussion, (ii) de comparer les lois sur la concurrence et (iii) d'examiner des aspects spécifiques du commerce et de la concurrence. Les études entreprises jusqu'ici identifient les similitudes et les différences entre les lois et les politiques sur la concurrence des trois Parties à l'ALENA et examinent si les différences recensées ont des incidences sur les échanges commerciaux entre les trois Parties. 3, record 1, French, - Groupe%20de%20travail%20sur%20le%20commerce%20et%20la%20concurrence
