Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat. The objective of the government's procurement review policy is to enhance the use of procurement in support of industrial and regional development and other national objectives in a manner that is fully consistent with the government's approved procurement objectives, and with Canada's international commitments within the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade(GATT), the North American Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA) or other trade rights and obligations. The government's approved procurement objectives are in descending order of priority : the pre-eminence of operational requirements, competition, fairness and accessibility as major policy cornerstones of the federal procurement process; long-term industrial and regional development; and other national objectives. 1, record 2, English, - Procurement%20Review%20Policy

Les objectifs approuvés du gouvernement en matière d'approvisionnement sont, en ordre décroissant d'importance : accorder la prééminence aux besoins opérationnels, à la concurrence, à l'équité et à l'accessibilité, les pierres angulaires du processus fédéral d'approvisionnement; favoriser le développement industriel et régional à long terme; et poursuivre d'autres objectifs nationaux. 1, record 2, French, - Politique%20sur%20l%27examen%20des%20acquisitions

In principle, contracts are awarded by private agreement only if the invitation to tender procedure has been unsuccessful, if there is an emergency or if the higher interests of State must be protected, and the authorization of the General Directorate for Government Procurement(DGMP) is required; in practice, however, the report prepared by the Secretariat for the first review of Mali's trade policy noted that private agreement, was the procedure used for 60 per cent of government procurement financed out of the State budget and around 4. 5 per cent of government procurement financed from the external funds. 4, record 4, English, - direct%20contracting

The United Nations General Assembly decided to hold in 1981 the first United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries in Paris. At that Conference the international community unanimously adopted the Substantial New Programme of Action for the 1980s for the Least Developed Countries(SNPA), containing guidelines for domestic action by LDCs, which were to be complemented by international support measures. However, despite major policy reforms initiated by many LDCs to carry out a structural transformation of their domestic economies, and supportive measures taken by a number of donors in the areas of aid, debt and trade, the economic situation of these countries as a whole worsened during the 1980s. 1, record 7, English, - Substantial%20New%20Programme%20of%20Action%20for%20the%201980s%20for%20the%20Least%20Developed%20Countries

As with "mutual recognition" of goods and services, the policy is that once accredited in one EC Member State, this accreditation will be accepted throughout the Community. As with testing and certification, there exists European specification for testing laboratories(EN 45 000), drawn from the UK/ISO model. Multinational manufacturing companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Rank Xerox are already harmonizing their European bases of operation to ISO 9000/EN 29 000. Thus, their suppliers are necessarily being accredited to BS 5750/ISO 9000 as a means of remaining capable of supplying companies throughout the EC. The European equivalent of Canadian testing and certification organizations are known as "Notified Bodies", who access the responsibility of manufacturers to the regulations in European Directives. At the present time, it is not certain who will decide upon the credibility of a third-country Notified Body, although the EOTC is set to perform this task.(Europe 1992.

Pour la Commission, l'important c'est que les organismes notifiés dans le cadre des directives communautaires participent d'une manière directe ou indirecte à tous les travaux de l'Organisation européenne pour les essais et la certification qui les concernent. Prenons l'exemple d'un comité sectoriel qui traite des machines. C'est au sein de ce comité que se discuteront le développement des normes, des pratiques relatives aux machines, etc. Il faudra donc que les organismes notifiés dans les directives concernant les machines soient impliqués dans ces travaux et y participent de façon active. D'une manière générale, les comités sectoriels de l'Organisation constitueront un cadre dans lequel seront abordés toutes les questions relatives aux normes, aux pratiques, à l'état de l'art de la discipline visée, ce qui touche au fonctionnement de ces organismes notifiés.
