La tarification sociale a pour but d’offrir un prix réduit aux personnes qui ne peuvent pas (ou qui peuvent difficilement) s’offrir certains biens ou services lorsque ceux-ci sont facturés aux tarifs pratiqués sur le marché. Elle vise donc à mettre en place un système de prix conforme aux principes d’équité sociale et économique pour réduire la charge financière qui pèse sur certaines catégories de personnes. 2, record 1, French, - tarification%20sociale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Il s’agit d’une stratégie à fort impact social qui retire certains biens ou services de la logique qui domine le marché à but lucratif. La tarification sociale est à l'inverse des stratégies de discrimination par les prix qui visent à maximiser les profits. Mais si sa finalité est sociale, elle poursuit tout de même un objectif économique, puisque l'entreprise doit assurer sa viabilité, donc reposer sur un modèle d’affaires solide. Cette définition générale précise les contours de la tarification sociale. Elle permet de rassembler les différents systèmes tarifaires à vocation sociale pratiqués sous une même appellation. En pratique, la tarification sociale peut prendre différentes formes. 2, record 1, French, - tarification%20sociale

La GPO fait appel à des mesures de contrôle et à des seuils de référence pour décider des mesures à prendre pour gérer une pêche. Là où la ressource est abondante, cette approche aidera à établir le niveau de récolte en fonction du marché, ce qui permettra aux chasseurs de phoque de maximiser leurs profits sans nuire à la conservation de la ressource. 1, record 3, French, - Gestion%20des%20p%C3%AAches%20par%20objectifs
