... "open-air drug market" refers to geographically well-defined, open-air areas in which illegal drugs (of one or more kinds) are bought and sold ... These types of markets contain drug dealers, buyers, or both. Simply put, dealers will sell drugs where there is a demand for them, and buyers will purchase drugs where there is a supply available to them ... In addition to this, open-air markets are likely to be open markets where there are few barriers to access and those who appear to be plausible buyers will be able to purchase drugs ... 2, record 1, English, - open%2Dair%20drug%20market

Dans les marchés publics, la transparence est donc essentielle non seulement pour permettre le suivi et le contrôle des processus et des décisions, mais aussi pour veiller à ce que les décideurs soient tenus responsables de leurs actions. Elle contribue également à la passation de marchés publics ouverts et favorise donc la concurrence. 2, record 2, French, - march%C3%A9%20public%20ouvert

Les acheteurs et les vendeurs de marchandises comme les grains, qui font l'objet de transactions considérables, doivent disposer des moyens nécessaires pour s'entendre rapidement sur les prix et les conditions de vente. Ils y parviennent généralement en recourant à l'une des trois méthodes suivantes : ententes particulières, vente publique ou marché ouvert. Dans le marché ouvert, de nombreux acheteurs et vendeurs négocient entre eux publiquement. Dans l'industrie céréalière, ces transactions s'effectuent aux «Bourses de commerce» ou «Bourses des denrées». 1, record 3, French, - march%C3%A9%20ouvert
