The IPOA-IUU [International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing] calls upon all States to develop additional internationally agreed market-related measures to prevent, deter and eliminate [illegal, unreported and unregulated] fishing. Such measures must be interpreted and applied in accordance with the principles, rights and obligations established by the [World Trade Organization] and implemented in a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory manner. The goal is to prevent international trade in fish and fish products harvested through [illegal, unreported and unregulated] fishing while not creating unncessary barriers to trade in other fish and fish products.

OBS

The Sherman Antitrust Act(Sherman Act), July 2, 1890, ch. 647, 26 Stat. 209, 15 U. S. C. & I was the first United States Federal statute to limit cartels and monopolies. It falls under antitrust law. The Act provides :"Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal". The Act also provides :"Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony... "The Act put responsibility upon government attorneys and district courts to pursue and investigate trusts, companies and organizations suspected of violating the Act.

  • Doctrines, systèmes et politiques économiques
OBS

Le Sherman Antitrust Act du 2 juillet 1890 est la première tentative du gouvernement américain de limiter les comportements anticoncurrentiels des entreprises : il signe ainsi la naissance du droit de la concurrence moderne. La loi américaine porte le nom du Sénateur John Sherman de l'Ohio qui s'éleva contre le pouvoir émergent de certaines entreprises constituées en quasi-monopoles : «Si nous refusons qu'un Roi gouverne notre pays, nous ne pouvons accepter qu'un Roi gouverne notre production, nos transports ou la vente de nos produits.». L'expression d'"anti-trust" vient du fait que la proposition de loi visait à contrer les agissements d'un groupe pétrolier, la Standard Oil, qui était constitué en "trust" et non sous la forme d'une société dont les droits étaient, à l'époque, limités. Ironiquement, lorsque la Standard Oil fut démantelée, elle avait pris déjà la forme d'une société et le Sherman Antitrust Act ne s'appliqua plus guère aux trusts.

All contracts restraining trade are illegal unless approved by the courts and found to be reasonable or against the public interest. It can be found for example in an employer-employee relationship where as a condition of employment the employee agrees not to set up in competition with his employer for some time in the future. This could be enforced if it is necessary to protect any knowledge gained in the service of the employer, but it is not intended to reduce or eliminate normal competitive business. It may also occur when the seller of a business agrees not to set up in competition with the buyer of the business. [Klein, Gerald. Dictionary of Banking. Pitman Publishing, 1995].

A better system of shipment inspection must also be put in place in order to facilitate cross-border trade. Canadian customs is looking into developing a customs self-assessment regime for low-risk, high-volume importers of goods from the United States. Exporters can file monthly reports with the Canadian government for all transactions. This would enable Canadian customs inspectors to concentrate their efforts on preventing the shipment of illegal goods, drugs and other security threats.

Autocotisation des douanes. Le plan d'action offre aux importateurs commerciaux une façon plus rapide (et, selon l'ADRC, plus fiable) de faire passer la frontière canadienne aux marchandises et permet à l'ADRC de concentrer ses ressources sur les expéditions à " risque élevé ou inconnu " en envoyant l'avis de main-levée des expéditions à " faible risque " à la frontière lorsque les importateurs à faible risque s'identifient eux-mêmes. L'application du plan d'action repose sur l'établissement de profils des clients, la vérification et les contrôles au hasard à la frontière. Les importateurs utiliseront leurs propres livres et registres pour rendre compte à l'ADRC des marchandises importées, et non pas de formulaires remplis exclusivement aux fins de l'ADRC. Grâce au plan d'action, l'ADRC passe d'une politique d'évaluation individuelle des opérations à un système d'autocotisation après le fait et à un système d'observation volontaire.
