EDITORIAL

Around the Wor-ld, soaring foodprices has rai-sed concerns a-bout global foodsecurity. Indeed,

the rise in food prices has revealed andaggravated preexisting global foodinsecurity. The number of peopleaffected by chronic under nutrition hasincreased from 850 million in 2007 andreached over one billion in 2009. Manycountries, especially those who aredependent on food imports, werealready affected by the price volatilityof agricultural products.Being a threat to food security andnutrition, dramatic increase in worldfood prices causes many social, politi-cal and environmental problems andimpacts the activities of developmentand humanitarian aid. As such, theworld increase of food prices has seri-ously threatened the majority of OICCountries who are net food importers.Even though agriculture has alwaysplayed a crucial role as a means oflivelihood, nutrition and a generator ofjobs for the overwhelming majority ofpeople living in the OIC Countries,most Member States of the OIC are stillconsidered as countries that have a netfood deficit. This structural deficit con-tributes to aggravate the persistent bal-ance of payments and the budgetdeficits, which the OIC Countries arefaced with ; in addition to drastic cuts inthe quantum of public funds intendedfor other social sectors, like education,housing, health and sanitation. Thegap between supply and demand interms of food in OIC Countries hasmade such countries vulnerable to

higher world food prices.Thus, heavy food deficit affects theeconomies of the OIC in the light ofsocioeconomic challenges related tothis global phenomenon. The burden offood import bill, which is increasing dueto the volatility of international prices,the shortage of water because of cli-mate and land degradation, added topolitical conflicts related to hunger, areall factors that make the OIC Countriesmore vulnerable to this phenomenon.With one third of the OIC Countries,belonging to the LDC category andwith the continued erosion of agricul-ture share in international developmentaid, the problem of access to food, tosafety nutrition and to the right to foodis particularly crucial in the context ofany system of sustainable food securi-ty. Thus, the issue of poverty eradicationand the wellbeing of the poor popula-tions of the OIC Countries has alwaysbeen with absolute priority on theagenda of the OIC economic coopera-tion. Indeed, since the adoption of theTen Year Program of Action by the 3rdExtraordinary Summit in 2005 inMakkah al Mukarramah, the OIC hascontinued to intensify its efforts, both atministerial and Experts levels, to pro-vide assistance and relief to the OICMember States! populations who are inneed of help.Similarly, food security partnershipshave been established between theOIC, on the one hand, and the FAOand the IFAD on the other, with a viewto addressing this phenomenon of ris-ing food prices. Collaboration with theFAO on water sustainable manage-ment in the context of food security of

OIC Member States belonging to theMENA region, is an eloquent examplefor a mutual beneficial partnership forthe realization of the objectives thatwere assigned to it.For its part, the COMCEC established,in cooperation with the FAO, a taskforce on food security to mobilize thefunds required for the implementationof the food security programs to thebenefit of its member countries. Asregards the IDB, it has launched itsJeddah Declaration in 2008, with acapital of $ 1.5 billion to help the LeastDeveloped OIC Member Countries toincrease their agricultural productionand create adequate grain stocks.Moreover, and with a view to gettingquick results, national ownerships ofthe process of food safety and thedevelopment of public/private partner-ships should be encouraged. In thisvein, a partnership arrangement bet-ween countries with land, abundantagriculture and natural resources andcountries with capital resources havebeen established so as to address thechronic shortage of investment in thefield of commercial agriculture. Thepartnerships among the State of Qatar,the Kingdom of Morocco and the King-dom of Saudi Arabia as well as someOIC Countries like Senegal, Kaza-khstan and Sudan are eloquent exam-ples of such cooperations. In addition,such initiatives must coordinate withthe roles that Regional, Multilateral andInternational Organizations can play inorder to provide the various processesof national food security with the sup-port required. !

OIC NEWS

The OIC and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Sign theHeadquarters AgreementHis Excellency the Secretary General of theOrganisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Prof. Dr.Ekmeleddin IHSANOGLU and His Royal HighnessPrince Abdulaziz BIN ABDULLAH, Deputy Minister ofForeign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,signed the the OIC Headquarters Agreement on 13August 2012. The agreement constitutes a legal framework thatregulates the relation between the host country,Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the OIC and definesthe privileges and obligations of both parties. The agreement also demonstrates the keenness ofthe Government of His Majesty the Custodian of theTwo Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz toprovide every support to the OIC, with a view toenhancing Islamic solidarity and joint Islamic action.

Under the chairmanship of H.E. Prof. Dr.Ekmeleddin IHSANOGLU, SecretaryGeneral, the Organisation of IslamicCooperation (OIC), the second biggestinternational political and diplomatic

Organisation after the United Nations com-memorated its 43rd anniversary on 25

September 2012. The OIC, the name of which having being changed to be inharmony with the reality of its work and message to theWorld, has always been endeavoring to strengthen thebonds of cooperation among its Member States and makethe values of peace and tolerance predominate in theMuslim world, overwhelming thus the obstacles and differ-ences it is faced with through the settlement of dialogue andpeaceful means in an atmosphere of brotherhood and har-mony.Indeed, over the past 43 years, the OIC, despite all obsta-cles and impediments, has made tremendous success inuniting the Muslims, strengthening Islamic solidarity andunderstanding and developing their commonalities. The OICalso succeeded hugely in its international relations andbecame a vital partner to a number of international andregional Organisations, at the forefront of which is its strate-gic relations with the United Nations. As a result of the dramatic developments that the world wit-nessed at the beginning of the new millennium added to thespread of a political orientation among many states, includ-

ing Muslim ones, towards pluralism and economic open-ness, the need was reinforced for the OIC to adopt a reformprogram that would put it on a firm path towards achievingits lofty objectives and making it a driver of progress andprosperity for the Muslim world. The OIC!s reform and advancement attempts culminated inthe convening of the 3rd Extraordinary Islamic SummitConference held in Makkah al Mukarammah in 2005, whichset in motion a new era in the work of the OIC with thelaunch of the Ten-Year Program of Action and the subse-quent adoption of a new Charter for the Organisation at the11th Islamic Summit held in the Senegalese capital, Dakar,in 2008. With the convening of the Makkah 4th ExtraordinaryIslamic Summit held in the middle of August 2012, the effortby the leaders of the Muslim world to address the risks ofwrangling within the Ummah was apparent and led to theadoption of a resolution to establish a centre of dialogueamong Islamic schools of thought. In implementation of its new Charter, the OIC attained animportant institutional milestone with the setting up of theIndependent Permanent Human Rights Commission. Thisachievement is a turning point in the history of theOrganisation because it would become one of the bedrocksof political direction towards good governance. !

OIC High Level Forum on Trade Facilitation &Single Window Initatives for Enhanced Regional

Economic CooperationCasablanca, Morocco, January 7th- 9th, 2013

The Islamic Centre for Development of Trade (ICDT) will organize under the auspices of theOrganisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), in collaboration with the ITFC and the IslamicDevelopment Bank Group, the “OIC High Level Forum on Trade Facilitation & Single WindowInitiatives for Enhanced Regional Economic Cooperation” in Casablanca, Kingdom ofMorocco, from january 7th to 9th, 2013.

In preparation for the forum, the Director General of ICDT held on September 15th, 2012 inJeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a coordination meeting with the Malaysian representa-tives and the officials of the ITFC, member of the IDB Group, to discuss the organizationalmodalities of this event.

BackgroundDue to its direct and immediate impacts on countries! competitiveness, trade facili-tation has become an important agenda item of international trade after the reduc-tion of customs tariffs through bilateral and multilateral trade agreements.Trade facilitation within and across borders is now seen as a key driver of nationaltrade development as well as a stimulator of regional economic integration and it is

a high concern for policymakers at a national andregional level. In this con-text, IDB Group along withother OIC institutions placeutmost attention to support-ing trade facilitation effortsat national and regionallevel. This support includestechnical assistance to MCsand regional organizationsfor the preparation of nation-al and regional trade &transport framework agree-ments and master plans.IDB group in cooperationwith OIC Institutions organ-ize workshops, seminarsand capacity building pro-grams to support trade facil-itation efforts in the wi-der

strategic context of econom-ic integration and coopera-tion among OIC MemberCountries and regions.Because of the critical roleof customs administrationsin the facilitation and controlof trade transactions recentOIC workshops and semi-nars organized in 2011 re-peatedly recommended ac-tive role of customs adminis-trations in trade facilitationinitiatives, for example th-rough the promotion of dataharmonization, informationexchange and single win-dow initiatives.Simplification, harmoniza-tion, standardization andcomputerization of trade

procedures and documentsthat control the flow of goodsacross national borders areindispensable componentsof facilitation of trade acrossborders and in that context,the implementation of a sin-gle-stop platform for allthese formalities, usuallycalled single-window (SW),is high in the trade facilita-tion agenda. Implementationof SW initiatives requires acomplete reengineering ofthe clearance processesand involves interlinkagesand information sharing bet-ween customs and othergovernment agencies (G2G)responsible for trade, exportand impor and between the

private sector and govern-ment agencies (B2G). Thegovernment agencies invol-ved include notably the cus-toms administrations, theport authorities, the trans-port administrations and theparastatals (e.g. sanitaryand phytosanitary inspec-tion services, SPS), whilebanks, insurance compa-nies, customs brokers,freightforwarders, shippingcompanies and shippersbeing the main private sec-tor stakeholders. Successful SW implementa-tion drastically improves thetime and the cost perform-ance of the internationaltrade transactions and facili-

tates the implementation ofregional and global trade ag-reements, enhancing hen-ce, regional economic inte-gration. But, the SW imple-mentation comes at a costand with great challengesthat requireintensive coop-eration efforts and experi-ence sharing to build uponsuccesses and failures ofother SW initiatives. In thelast decade, regardless ofincome level, many govern-ments have introduced aform of SW system to man-age export and im-port relat-ed procedures, with a vari-ous success in implementa-tion and also various busi-ness models according tolocal context and availableresources. A more ad-vanced use of informationtechnology in the context ofcustoms clearance has alsoemerged under the name ofe-Customs. According to theWB Doing Business Report2012, today 49 countries inthe world have a SingleWindow in place. Many OICcountries are among thoseimplementing e-Customs,SW or simply some form ofinteragency data exchangesystem to facilitate tradeinternational transactions,and electronic facilities such

as trade portals that providetraders with data and infor-mation about trade rules andregulations, computerizedcustoms systems like ASY-CUDA World that enableelectronic customs clea-rance, or port communitysystems of first or secondgenerations that enable theefficient management ofcargo movements in portswith advanced track andtracing features. The nextchallenge is now for nationalentities (whether customsadministrations, SW opera-tors, ports, parastatals, etc.)to develop interconnectivitystrategies and policies andmechanisms by which infor-mation can be collected andexchanged at a regionallevel. International andregional standards alreadyexist and are being dissemi-nated by international orga-nizations such as WCO,UNECE or UNCTAD, andmost regional trade agree-ments support the intercon-nection and data exchangeagenda. The main benefitfor the trading community isthat a Single Window canprovide the trader with a sin-gle point for the one-timesubmission of all requiredinformation and documenta-

tion to all governmentalagencies in-volved in export,import or transit procedures.As the SW enables govern-ments to process submittedinformation, documents andfees both faster and moreaccurately, traders shouldbenefit from faster clearanceand release times, enablingthem to speed up the supplychain; in addition to theimproved transparency andincreased predictability andgood governance.However, the successfulimplementation of such re-gional initiatives will bedetermined by the level ofcollaboration in analyzingcross-border supply chainissues and ensuring techni-cal interoperability of na-tional systems. There is aneed also to create appro-priate legal framework forinformation exchange ac-ross borders and data secu-rity challenges. But theseissues are being solved indifferent parts of the worldby enhanced cooperationand dialogue.

Objectives The Forum will be a platformfor information sharingamong the participants ontheir trade facilitation pro-

grams, particularly on singlewindow initiatives. The fo-rum will review the lessonslearnt from the implementa-tion of single window sys-tems in OIC MCs and someother examples from otherregions of the world. Theforum will examine the cur-rent situation in data ex-change among agenciesand across the borders;what policies, legal frame-works and technologies ha-ve been put in place and areneeded for optimized infor-mation sharing across theborders. The forum willadvocate the benefits ofcustoms system intercon-nections, data harmoniza-tion and development ofregional data center andaims at identifying steps inbuilding an enabling envi-ronment for interoperablesingle window systemsamong OIC MCs. In thiscontext, the Forum will pro-mote the use of internationalstandards and codes in sin-gle window and paperlesstrade projects and examinethe facilities, solutions pro-vided by ASYCUDA andsimilar other custom auto-mation systems for intera-gency and cross-borderdata exchange. !

These ten coun-tries represented 71% ofintra-OIC trade in 2011.The main products coveredby the intra-OIC trade in2011 are: mineral fuels(27%) and miscellaneousmanufactured goods (26%),food products (22%), ma-chinery and transport equip-ment (10%), chemicals (9%)and non-edible materials(6%).The following Member Sta-tes exceeded in 2011 thethreshold of 20% of the levelof intra-OIC trade advocatedby the Ten Year Programmeof Action (TYPOA) by 2015,these are: Somalia, Djibouti,Syria, the Gambia, Senegal,Jordan, Lebanon, Afgha-nistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan,Kyrgyzstan, Iraq, Comoros,Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso,Guinea Bissau, Turkme-nistan, Niger, Uzbekistan,Yemen, Libya, Oman, Egypt,Togo, Iran, Mali, Bahrain,Uganda, Mauritania, Came-roon, Guyana and Turkey.Measures to promote tradein goods and services andcross investment of theother OIC countries thathave not reached the pro-portion of 20% must bestrengthened to achieve theTYPOA prior to maturitydata notably, in the area ofcapacity building, participa-tion in international fairs andexhibitions, including thoseorganized by ICDT, techni-cal and financial assistanceand the alleviation of foreigntrade procedures and intra-

OIC trade investments.

OBSTACLES TO INTRA-OIC TRADE DEVELOP-MENTDespite considerable effortsat the OIC level and byMember States to promoteintra-OIC trade and elimi-nate bottlenecks, many ob-stacles still exist, notably:- Problems of market ac-cess: tariff, para-tariff andoften non-tariff obstacles;- Barriers in logistics infra-structure, transport, weak orunsuitable support servicesto international trade;- Existence of a non-diversi-fied exportable offer and notadapted to the norms andstandards of the markets;- Lack of information on mar-kets and business opportu-nities, despite efforts byICDT on the subject;- Limited meeting opportuni-ties and promotion of dome-stic production in other OICmarkets;- Complexity of administra-tive procedures related toforeign trade at the level ofcustoms, banks, ports, etc. Lack of managers and tech-nicians specialized in inter-national trade;- Inadequate and insufficientfinancing instruments espe-cially, for the benefit of SME-SMI.

Obstacles to exports:The main obstacles to thedevelopment of intra-OICexports are: the cost ofdeveloping new markets,

foreign exchange risks, thecost or supply of labor, theregulation of foreign govern-ment, the collection of infor-mation on Member States!markets, getting licenses orbonds and local partners.

Obstacles to imports:The main obstacles reportedare: the risk of not havingauthorizations from the Fo-reign Exchange service andobtaining bank guaranteesto carry out imports followedby political and commercialrisks, quality standards, san-itary and phytosanitary mea-sures, customs valuationand customs procedures,obtaining import licensesand safeguards and rules oforigin.

CONCLUSIONIntra-OIC trade has globallyshown a good progressionin 2011 in so far as the vol-ume of this trade reachedUS$ 344 billion; i.e. anincrease by 26.7% in com-parison with 2012.

The Common Market forEastern and Southern Afri-ca traces its genesis to themid 1960s.

Itwas under these circum-stances that, in 1965, theUnited Nations EconomicCommission for Africa(ECA) convened a ministe-rial meeting of the thennewly independent statesof Eastern and SouthernAfrica to consider propos-als for the establishment ofa mechanism for the pro-motion of sub-regionaleconomic integration. Themeeting, which was held inLusaka, Zambia, recom-mended the creation of anEconomic Community ofEastern and Central Afri-can states.

Partout dans lemonde, la flam-bée des prix desaliments a su-scité des inquié-tudes quant à lasécurité alimen-taire mondiale.En effet, la hau-sse des prix ali-

mentaires a révélé et aggravé uneinsécurité alimentaire mondiale pré-existante. Le nombre de personnesaffectées par la sous-nutrition chro-nique a augmenté de 850 millions en2007 pour atteindre plus d!un milliarden 2009. Beaucoup de pays, en parti-culier ceux qui sont à la fois pauvres etdépendants des importations de nour-riture, étaient déjà touchés par l!insta-bilité des prix des produits agricoles. Étant une menace pour la sécurité ali-mentaire et nutritionnelle, l'augmenta-tion spectaculaire des prix mondiauxdes aliments entraîne de nombreuxproblèmes d!ordre social, politique etenvironnemental et se répercute surles activités de développement et l!aidehumanitaire. En tant que tel, la haussemondiale des prix alimentaires a sé-rieusement menacé la majorité despays de l'OCI qui sont importateursnets de produits alimentaires.Quoi que l!agriculture ait toujours jouéun rôle crucial en tant que moyen desubsistance et de nutrition, mais aussi,en tant que générateur d!emplois pourl!écrasante majorité des populationsvivant dans les pays de l!OCI, la plu-part des Etats Membres de l!OCI sontencore considérés comme des payssouffrant d!un déficit alimentaire net.Ce déficit structurel contribue à ag-graver les problèmes persistants de labalance de paiements et de déficitbudgétaire rencontrés par les pays del!OCI, s'ajoutant aux diminutions dras-tiques du quantum des fonds publicsdisponibles pour d!autres secteurssociaux, à l!instar de l!éducation, del!habitat, de la santé et de l!assainisse-

ment. Le fossé existant entre l!offre etla demande en termes de produits ali-mentaires dans les pays de l!OCI arendu ces pays vulnérables aurenchérissement des cours interna-tionaux des denrées alimentaires.Ainsi, ce lourd déficit alimentaire serépercute sur les économies des paysde l!OCI à la lumière des challengessocio-économiques liés à ce phéno-mène global. Le fardeau de la facturedes importations alimentaires, qui necesse d!augmenter du fait de la volati-lité des cours internationaux, la pénuriede l!eau consécutive aux aléas clima-tiques et la dégradation des sols, demême que les conflits politiques liés àla faim, sont autant de facteurs quiaugmentent la vulnérabilité des Paysde l'OCI face à ce phénomène. Avec un tiers des pays de l!OCI appar-tenant à la catégorie de PMA et avecl!érosion continue de la part de l!agri-culture dans l!aide internationale audéveloppement, la problématique del!accès à l!alimentation, à la sécuriténutritionnelle et au droit à l!alimentationdevient particulièrement cruciale dansl!optique de tout régime durable desécurité alimentaire. Ainsi, le dossierde l!éradication de la pauvreté et lebien être des couches démunies et vul-nérables parmi les populations despays de l!OCI a toujours bénéficié de laprimauté absolue sur l!agenda de lacoopération économique de l!OCI. Eneffet, depuis l!adoption du programmed!action décennal par le 3ème SommetÉxtraordinaire en 2005 à Makka, l'OCIn'a cessé de redoubler d!efforts, tantau niveau des Experts qu!au niveauMinistériel, pour apporter l!aide et lessecours aux populations des EtatsMembres de l!OCI qui en ont besoin. De même, des partenariats portant surla sécurité alimentaire ont été établisentre l!OCI, d!une part, et la FAO et leFIDA d!autre part, en vue de remédierà ce phénomène de la hausse des prixalimentaires. La collaboration avec laFAO sur la gestion durable de l!eau

dans le contexte de la sécurité alimen-taire des Etats Membres de l!OCIappartenant à la région MENA, con-stitue un exemple éloquent en matièrede partenariat mutuellement avan-tageux pour la réalisation des objectifsassignés. De son côté, le COMCEC a établi, encoopération avec la FAO, une taskforce sur la sécurité alimentaire pourmobiliser les fonds requis en vue de lamise en œuvre des programmes desécurité alimentaire de ses pays mem-bres. Quant à la BID, elle a lancé en 2008 saDéclaration de Jeddah, dotée d!uncapital de 1,5 milliard de dollars, pouraider les Pays Membres de l!OCI lesMoins Avancés à accroître leur produc-tion agricole et à créer des stocksadéquats de céréales.D'autant plus, et dans la perspectived'obtenir rapidement des résultats,l!appropriation nationale des processusde sécurité alimentaire et le déve-loppement des partenariats public/pri-vé devraient être encouragés. Danscette veine, un arrangement de parte-nariat entre les pays disposant de ter-res et de ressources naturelles et agri-coles abondantes et les pays dis-posant de capitaux devront être con-clus en vue de remédier à la pénuriechronique des investissements dansl!agriculture commerciale. Les parte-nariats entre l'Etat du Qatar, leRoyaume du Maroc et le Royaumed'Arabie Saoudite, ainsi que certainsPays de l'OCI comme le Sénégal, leKazakhstan et le Soudan sont desexemples éloquents de telles coopéra-tions. De surcroît, de telles initiativesdevront coordonnées avec les rôlesque pourront jouer les organisationsrégionales, multilatérales et interna-tionales afin d'appuyer les diversprocessus nationaux de sécurité ali-mentaire. !

NOUVELLES DE L’OCI

Son Altesse Royal le Prince Abdulaziz BIN ABDUL-LAH, Vice Ministre des Affaires Etrangères duRoyaume d!Arabie Saoudite et Son Excellence leSecrétaire Général de l!Organisation de la ConférenceIslamique (OCI), le Professeur Docteur EkmeleddinIHSANOGLU ont procédé à la signature de l!Accord desiège de l!OCI et ce, le 13 Août 2012.L!accord constitue un cadre légal régulant les relationsentre l!Etat Hôte, le Royaume d!Arabie Saoudite, etl!OCI et définissant les droits et responsabilités de cha-cune des parties.L!Accord corrobore également la volonté de sa Majestéle Serviteur des deux Saintes Mosquées, le RoiAbdullah BIN ABDULAZIZ, d!apporter tout son soutienà l!OCI et ce, dans le but de promouvoir la solidaritéIslamique et l!action Islamique Commune. !

Sous le Haut patronage de Son Excellencele Professeur Docteur EkmeleddinIHSANOGLU, Secrétaire Général del!Organisation de la Coopération Islami-que (OCI), la deuxième plus grande

Organisation politique et diplomatique àl!échelle internationale après les Nations

Unies, a célébré son 43ème anniversaire le 25 Septembre2012. L!OCI, dont l!appellation a fait l!objet de changement afin derefléter au mieux ses activités sur le terrain et son message,s!est toujours attelé à renforcer les bases de coopérationentre ses Etats Membres et véhiculer des valeurs de paix etde tolérance de manière à dépasser les obstacles et les dif-férences par l!instauration d!outils de dialogue et de paix etce, dans une atmosphère de fraternité et d!harmonie.En effet, au cours des 43 dernières années, l!OCI, malgréles obstacles, a accompli d!énormes réalisations en unis-sant les Musulmans, en renforçant la solidarité Islamiquede même qu!en intégrant et en servant leurs intérêts com-muns. L!OCI s!est également distinguée dans ses relationsà l!échelle internationale et s!est positionné comme parte-naire indispensable auprès des Organisations Inter-nationales et Régionales parmi lesquelles les NationsUnies.Suite aux situations dramatiques survenues dans le mondeau début du millénaire et à la vague de changement poli-tique intervenue dans plusieurs Etats, parmi lesquels les

pays musulmans et ce, pour plus de pluralisme et d!ouver-ture économique, l!OCI a dû adopter un programme deréforme qui lui permettrait d!atteindre ses objectifs et quiconstituerait pour le Monde musulman un moteur de pro-grès et de prospérité.Les tentatives de l!OCI en matière de réforme ont abouti lorsde la 3ème Session Extraordinaire de la ConférenceIslamique au Sommet tenue à Makka Al Moukarrama en2005, à l!occasion de laquelle l!OCI est entrée dans unenouvelle ère, et ce, à travers le lancement du Programmed!Action Décennal et l!adoption ultérieurement de la nou-velle Charte de l!OCI lors du 11ème Sommet Islamique tenudans la capitale Sénégalaise, Dakar, courant 2008.Avec la tenue de la 4ème Session Extraordinaire de laConférence Islamique au Sommet à la mi-Août 2012, l!effortdes Leadeurs du Monde Musulman pour faire face auxrisques encourus dans la Oummah était tangible et a con-duit à l!adoption d!une résolution pour la création d!unCentre de dialogue entre les écoles de pensées Islamiques.Dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre de la nouvelle charte,l'OCI a posé un jalon institutionnel important avec la mise enplace de la Commission indépendante permanente desDroits de l'Homme. Ceci marque un tournant important dansl'histoire de l'Organisation, car il constituera l'un des fonde-ments de la direction politique et ce, en faveur de la bonnegouvernance. !

o Secteur BancaireLe secteur bancaire djibou-tien joue un rôle essentieldans l'économie nationale.Avec une politique deschanges axée sur le main-tien de la parité fixe avec ledollar, la place bancaire dji-boutienne jouit d'un libéral-isme financier qui pourrait luipermettre de s'assurer uneassise de place financièrerégionale attractive, dynami-que et sécurisante pour lesopérateurs de la région. Lastricte application des dispo-sitions réglementaires etdes normes prudentielles envigueur au niveau interna-tional ont permis à la placefinancière djiboutienne dedisposer d'un système ban-caire fiable et sain, adossé àde grands groupes ban-caires et bénéficiant de laliberté de mouvements descapitaux.Outre la Banque Centrale deDjibouti, le tissu bancaire dji-boutien comprend cinq étab-lissements de crédits et de

dépôts.Le secteur bancaire joue unrôle essentiel dans l'é-conomie nationale. En effet,il emploie plus de 400 per-sonnes et représente plusde 5% du PIB. Le libéral-isme de change conjuguéau rôle commercial des ban-ques djiboutiennes au ni-veau régional permettentd'attirer d'importants capi-taux étrangers sur la placede Djibouti, avant d'êtretransférés vers les marchésinternationaux.De plus, le fait que toutacteur économique, résidentou non-résident peut, sansdélai, procéder à une ouver-ture de compte et unegrande liberté de transfert

partout dans le monde con-stitue l!un des avantages deDjibouti.La stabilité politique, éco-nomique et l'ouverture àl'extérieur permise par unsystème de télécommunica-tions performant et le dé-veloppement de l'utilisationde l'internet sont des atoutsnon négligeables dont dis-pose Djibouti en tant queplace financière régionale.o Secteur des TélécomsLa modernité et la qualitédes équipements de télé-communication dont la Ré-publique de Djibouti s!estdotée, lui confèrent le statutde plaque tournante de larégion dans ce domaine. Eneffet, cette performanceplace le secteur des télé-coms djiboutien au premierrang des systèmes africainstant par sa capacité d!ac-cueil que par sa puissanced!interconnexion. L!évolutiondu réseau a notammentfavorisé le développementdu commerce, des banques

et, d!une manière générale,des services liés au trans-port.Le secteur des télécomsoffre un large éventail deproduits et de services,articulés autour de troisaxes principaux : la télé-phonie fixe, le téléphonemobile et l!Internet.Grâce à sa situation géo-graphique et à sa politiqued!intégration régionale, Dji-bouti se place comme voiede transit régional des télé-communications par la pré-sence des câbles sous-marins d!interconnexion en-tre l%Europe et l!Asie. Cecientraîne donc un déve-loppement du réseau inter-national en faisant de Dji-bouti un hub de télécommu-nications.Le secteur des postes et destélécommunications est ré-formé par la Loi n° 13/AN/98du 11 mars 1998 qui permetla séparation des deuxsecteurs et la création de laPoste de Djibouti et de

Djibouti Télécom. Cettedernière compte 650 collab-orateurs. En vue de faire deDjibouti une plate-formerégionale et internationale etpour répondre aux besoinscroissants de sa clientèle,Djibouti Télécom a entreprisd!importants investisse-ments sur le plan humain,commercial et technique.Grâce au déploiement del!infrastructure en fibre op-tique, une nette améliorationdes communications télé-phoniques a été constatéeen plus de I!offre de solu-tions haut débit à la carte.Ainsi, Djibouti Télécom estaujourd!hui en mesure d!of-frir I!ADSL à ses clients,même dans les districts lesplus isolés. En outre, Djibouti Télécom ainauguré un nouveau ré-seau d!une capacité de200000 abonnés extensibleà 1,8 millions, basé sur latechnologie EDGE (uneévolution de la technologieGSM/GPRS).Des investissements ont étéfaits dans le câble sous-marin EASSY reliant tousles pays de l!Afrique orien-tale, du Soudan jusqu!àl!Afrique du Sud dans le butde faire de Djibouti un hubrégional.o Secteur des Transports* Aéroport International deDjibouti :Situé dans la Corne del!Afrique, au carrefour destrois continents (l!Afrique,l!Asie et l!Europe), l!Aéroportde Djibouti demeure un HUBpour les vols commerciauxen provenance de la So-malie et de l'Ethiopie, serendant vers les différentes

destinations du Moyen Or-ient (Dubaï et Djeddah) etde l!Europe dont la France.Sa position géographiquestratégique lui confère unrôle de transbordement dufret via un transport multi-modal et un rôle de corre-spondance pour les touris-tes visitant la région de laCorne de l!Afrique.* La plate forme Portuaire :L'orientation naturelle de l'é-conomie Djiboutienne versune économie de service enévolution vers des activitésdu secteur tertiaire à hauteproductivité du capital con-fère au Port AutonomeInternational de Djibouti unrôle de structure importantdans le développement del'ensemble de l'économienationale. Au carrefour de l'Afrique, del'Extrême-Orient et de l'Eu-rope, sur l'une des routesmaritimes les plus fréquen-tées au monde, le PortAutonome International deDjibouti occupe une situa-tion stratégique pour l'é-clatement régional et leséchanges internationaux. Dès l'indépendance, le portde Djibouti a bénéficié de lavolonté politique de l'Etat defaire de cet outil la locomo-tive du développement éco-nomique et social du pays. o Secteur Agricole Fortement limité par les con-ditions naturelles notam-ment climatiques, le secteuragricole ne constitue que3% du PIB. Le pays ne dis-pose que d!environ 10.000hectares de terres arables,dont seulement 10% sontcultivés. Djibouti, compteprès de 1.700 exploitations

agricoles employant au totalautour de 3.600 personnes.La surface moyenne desexploitations est d!un demi-hectare.De type oasien, la produc-tion agricole est avant toutfamiliale et de subsistanceet est essentiellement tour-née vers les cultures ma-raîchères. La production desfruits et légumes frais estestimée à environ 6000tonnes et couvre moins de10% des besoins nationaux.o L!élevage : Le secteur del!élevage occupe une bonneplace dans l!activité de lapopulation rurale de Djiboutiet répond à une demandeimportante du secteur ali-mentaire. Il constitue unimportant facteur de déve-loppement pour l!économienationale vu la demande enviande et lait. Les éleveursDjiboutiens pratiquent unélevage extensif sur près dedeux millions d!hectares dunord au sud du pays.Composé principalement de

petits ruminants, le chepteldjiboutien est estimé à plusd!un million de têtes debétails, 40.000 bovins et50.000 camelins. L!élevagenomade, qui représente90% des activités du secteurrural, est essentiellementcaractérisé par une mobilitéaléatoire en fonction despluies et des pâturages.L!élevage sédentaire estpratiqué autour des centresurbains et des points d!eau.La République de Djibouti arécemment construit un cen-tre régional d!exportation debétail vers les pays de lapéninsule arabique. Ce cen-tre régional est destiné pourla certification à grandeéchelle de l!origine et de lasanté du bétail destiné àl!exportation et comprenddes équipements de mar-quage, des lieux de quaran-taine et des services vétéri-naires.o La pêche : En dépit d!unpotentiel de développementconsidérable, la pêche con-

La flottillede pêche est composéed!environ 200 petites embar-cations dont la taille varieentre 4 et 8 mètres, avecquelques unités dépassantles 10 mètres, ce qui ne per-met pas des grandes prisespour suffire à la demandelocale. o Secteur industriel etminierLa République de Djiboutidispose d'importantes res-sources telles que l'or, legaz naturel, la géothermie,le cuivre, le zinc, ainsi que lefer et l'aluminium.L!existence de ressourcesnaturelles diversifiées seconfirme de plus en plus àDjibouti, comme avec ladécouverte de la présenced'or dans la localité de HessDaba dans la région deDikhil en mai 2000.En plus, du début du xxesiècle aux années 1950, laCôte française des Somalisa été considérée comme unimportant producteur de sel,avec les salines qui en-tourent la ville de Djibouti.Au début des années 2000,a commencé une exploita-tion industrielle du sel du lacAssal.o L!artisanatL!artisanat traditionnel laissebeaucoup de place à l!ima-gination et à la créativité.Les matériaux utilisés sontdivers et variés.Avec les fibres du palmier

L!union douanière se définie, Com-munément, comme un traité signé pardeux ou plusieurs pays, visant la con-stitution d!un espace douanier unique,à l!intérieur duquel peuvent circuler lesbiens et services sans barrières tari-faires et non tarifaire. Juridiquement, les unions douanièresreprésentent une des formes de déro-gation au principe de la non-discrimi-nation, stipulé par l!article 1er du GATT1947 intitulé «Traitement de la nation laplus favorisée (NPF)» et qui constituela pierre angulaire des textes del!Organisation Mondiale du Commerce(OMC).Ladite dérogation est justifiée vis-à-visdes principes de l!OMC, par l!Article 24du GATT portant sur le commerce desmarchandises et l!Article 5 de l!AccordGé-néral sur le Commerce desServices (AGCS). La création de cesunions doit obligatoirement être noti-fiée à la Commission des AccordsRégionaux de l!OMC, instituée en vertude la décision WT/L/671 du ConseilGé-néral de l!OMC, qui précise lemécanisme de la notification selon lesprincipes de la transparence. Parmi les 170 notifications faites, con-cernant les Accords de création degrou-pements régionaux, la commis-sion de l!OMC en question a été infor-mée de la mise en place de 21 Unionsdouanières à travers le monde, dont 6concernent à la fois le commerce desmarchandises et des services. Les unions douanières se présententcomme une étape avancée de l!inté-gration régionale. A la différence dessimples Zones de Libres échange, lespays membres des unions douanièressont obligés de substituer leurs poli-tiques commerciales nationales parune autre politique commune. De

même, les tarifs douaniers propres auxpays céderont la place à un tarifextérieur commun, appliqué par lespays membres de l!Union aux importa-tions extrarégionales.Cette harmonisation des politiques estd!autant difficile, qu!elle nécessite l!ex-istence de facteurs de réussite de l!in-tégration. L!économiste canadien Jacob Vinerprécisait, il y a déjà un demi-siècle, queles pays ayant fait le choix de segrouper, doivent avoir des niveaux dedéveloppement rapprochés et despoints communs concernant lessecteurs économiques prioritaires enplus de l!existence des indices de lacomplémentarité économique. La question qui se pose c!est commenttraduire, concrètement, les décisionspolitiques de créer ces unions, sachantqu!elles émanent souvent d!un sou-bassement idéologique influencé pardes considérations ethniques et na-tionalistes. Les Etats membres du groupementdoivent négocier des principes gé-néraux fondateurs, visant l!agence-ment de leurs espaces nationaux pourla constitution d!un espace douanierplus vaste et unifié. Ces principestouchent plusieurs aspects dont essen-tiellement la mise en place d!un tarifdouanier extérieur commun (TEC) vis-à-vis des pays hors union. Ceci n!est pas une tâche facile,puisque il entraîne un désarmementdouanier pour certains secteurs sensi-bles qui étaient protégés auparavant,tels que le secteur agricole, l!agro-ali-mentaire ou le textile. Outre la moins-value fiscale suite à la levée des bar-rières tarifaires, ces secteurs vont êtrelivrés à la concurrence extérieure avectous ses effets négatifs sur le tissu

économique et social. Dans ce sens,les pays lésés vont défendre une posi-tion leur permettant de limiter lesdégâts, soit par l!adoption d!un mécan-isme de désarmement graduel ou parla définition d!une liste négative de pro-duits exclus des engagements dans lecadre de l!union douanière. Certainesexpériences, parlent d!un fond depéréquation et de soutien, pour aiderles secteurs à se mettre à niveau etaffronter la concurrence ; d!où l!intérêtde bien négocier l!adhésion au groupe-ment. L!autre volet de la gestion des unionsdouanières, concerne la répartition desrecettes douanières entre les paysmembres. Cette question représenteune arme à double tranchant. Elle peutservir d!outil efficace pour limiter lesdistorsions régionales au sein de l!e-space unique et permettre un déve-loppement économique harmonieux,comme elle peut être source de lour-deurs administratives et de dysfonc-tionnement provoquant des litigesentre les Etats membres.Les mécanismes de répartition desrecettes douanières des groupementsdouaniers à travers le monde, présen-tent certaines similitudes, dont il con-vient de citer quelques-uns à titre d!ex-emple :* Pour l!Union Douanière de l!AfriqueAustrale (SACU), ce sont les pays quiper-çoivent les recettes mais pour lecompte d!un budget commun. Le traitéinstituant la SACU, précise qu!une par-tie du budget commun financera lefonctionnement des instances del!Union. Le reste sera réparti de tellefaçon à ce que les pays membresbénéficient de leur part des recettesdes droits de douanes sur la base desvaleurs des importations (CAF) réal-

isées par le pays membre. Le Conseilde la SACU, a arrêté 15% des recettesdouanières pour le financement desprojets de développement économiqueet sociale des pays membres. * S!agissant de l!UEMOA, le traité mod-ifié de janvier 2003, stipule dans sontitre III (Articles 54 et 55) que lesressources de l'Union proviennentnotamment d'une fraction du produit dutarif extérieur commun (TEC) et destaxes indirectes perçues dans l'ensem-ble de l'Union. Ces ressources serontperçues directement par l'Union. L!UE-MOA a opté donc pour un système dy-namique de répartition des recettes quipeut varier d!une année à l!autre. LeConseil de l!Union arrête à la majoritédes deux tiers (2/3) de ses membres,les modalités d'application des articles54 et 55, conformément aux principesdirecteurs fixés par la Conférence desChefs d'Etat et de Gouvernement.S!agissant des taxes perçues, une taxesur la valeur ajoutée (TVA) de l'Unionsera instituée et se substituera à lafraction du produit des taxes indirectesnationales.D!autres taxes additionnelles pourrontêtre introduites par l'Union, selon le

besoin. Ce mécanisme qui s!inspirelargement du système de l!UnionEuropéenne, permettra de financer unbudget commun destiné à la réalisationdes actions de développement et à lalutte contre les disparités régionales. Ces mécanismes, dans la pratique,cachent certainement des difficultésd!une mise en œuvre équitable ettransparente et surtout lorsque il s!agitd!un projet d!union qui manque d!ho-mogénéité économique entre ses paysmembres. L!Union est censée être unespace régional de prospérité éco-nomique en mesure d!absorber lespréoccupations purement nationalesdu développement économique etsocial. Dans ce cas, le partage desressources demeure une question cru-ciale qui impose des défis pour chaquepays candidat à l!adhésion à l!Union.C!est vrai que l!union fait la force, maisau niveau national, il faut savoir com-ment la gérer. L!ouverture du pays surson environnement régional, le metdevant la nécessité de concilier entreplusieurs engagements gouvernemen-taux préalablement pris. Des questionslégitimes sont à poser à cet égard. Tout d!abord, au moment de l!adhésion

à l!Union, que doit faire le pays candi-dat pour ses engagements au niveaude l!OMC et tout ce qui est en rapportavec les taux de droits d!importationdéjà consolidés ? Encore plus, comment trouver lesmoyens adéquats de se désengagerdes Accords Commerciaux Préféren-tiels déjà signés bilatéralement avecles parties tierces hors union ? Il y alieu de souligner à titre d!exemple quel!entrée en vigueur du TEC del!UEMOA, en janvier 2000, a provoquél!abrogation unilatérale des Accordspréférentiels bilatéraux des pays mem-bres. Ceci a provoqué un vide juridiquequi sévi jusqu!à maintenant entre cer-tains pays membres de l!UEMOA etplusieurs de ses partenaires. La même problématique se pose dansle cadre du projet de l!Union DouanièreArabe. Ainsi, quel sera le sort desAccords de Libre Echange bilatérauxsignés par certains pays arabes avecles grandes puissances mondiales ?Seront-ils remplacés par un ALE avectoute l!Union ou tout simplementabrogés ? !

TENDANCES DU COMMERCE INTRA-OCI TENDANCES DU COMMERCE EXTERIEUR DES ETATSMEMBRES DE L!OCIMalgré la crise économique mondiale, le commerce desEtats Membres de l!OCI ne cesse de croître, ceci s!expliquepar la hausse des prix des produits énergétiques et desautres produits de base de l!ordre de 26% entre 2010 et2011 et l!augmentation de la demande des pays de l!OCI. Lecommerce des Etats Membres est passé de 3,2 trillions $USen 2010 à 3,9 trillions $US en 2011 soit une progression de23,5%. Le commerce des Etats Membres de l!OCIreprésente 10,8% du commerce mondial en 2011. Lesacteurs du commerce mondial des Etats Membres de l!OCIen 2011 sont : la Malaisie (467 milliards $US), l!ArabieSaoudite (457 milliards $US), les Emirats A U (455 milliards$US), l!Indonésie (381 milliards $US), la Turquie (376 mil-liards $US), l!Iran (225 milliards $US), le Nigeria (166 mil-liards $US), le Qatar (126 milliards $US), le Koweït (109 mil-liards $US) et l!Algérie (105 milliards $US).

Les principaux produits faisant l!objet du commerce intra-OCI en 2011 sont : les combustibles minéraux (27%), lesdivers produits manufacturés (26%), les produits alimen-taires (22%), les machines et matériel de transport (10%),les produits chimiques (9%) et les matières premières noncomestibles (6%).Les Etats Membres suivants ont dépassé le seuil de 20%du commerce intra-OCI de 20% prôné par le Plan d!ActionDécennal (PAD) à l!horizon 2015, il s!agit de : Somalie,Djibouti, Syrie, la Gambie, Sénégal, Jordanie, Liban,Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tadjikistan, Kirghizistan, Iraq,Comores, Côte d!Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Guinée Bissau,Turkménistan, Niger, Ouzbékistan, Yémen, Libye, OmanEgypte, Togo, Iran, Mali, Bahreïn, Ouganda, Mauritanie,Cameroun, Guyane et Turquie. Des mesures de promotionde commerce des produits et services et des investisse-ments croisés des autres pays de l!OCI qui n!ont pas atteintla part des 20% doivent être renforcées pour atteindre lesobjectifs du PAD avant l!échéance dans le domaine du ren-forcement des capacités, de participation aux foires etsalons internationaux et notamment ceux qui sont organisépar le CIDC, de l!assistance technique et financières et l!al-lègement des procédures du commerce extérieur et de l!in-vestissement intra-OCI.

LES OBSTACLES AU DEVELOPPEMENT DU COM-MERCE INTRA-OCIEn dépit des efforts considérables déployés au niveau del'OCI et par les Etats Membres pour promouvoir le com-merce intra-OCI et enrayer les goulots d'étranglement, denombreux obstacles subsistent encore notamment :- Problèmes d'accès aux marchés : obstacles tarifaires,para-tarifaires et souvent non-tarifaires,- Entraves au niveau logistique : infrastructures, transports,services d'appui au commerce international faibles ou nonadéquats ;- Existence d'une offre exportable non diversifiée et nonadaptée aux normes et standards internationaux desmarchés ;- Manque d'informations sur les marchés et les opportunitésd'affaires, malgré les efforts déployés par le CIDC en lamatière ; - Limite des opportunités de rencontres et de promotion desproductions nationales sur les autres marchés des pays del'OCI ;- Complexité des procédures administratives liées au com-merce extérieur au niveau douanier, bancaire, portuaire,etc… ;- Manque de cadres et de techniciens spécialisés en com-merce international ;- Inadéquation et l'insuffisance des instruments de finance-ment en particulier au profit des PME-PMI.* les entraves à l!exportation:Les principales entraves au développement des exporta-tions intra-OCI sont : le coût de développement des nou-

veaux marchés, les risques de change, le coût ou la fourni-ture de la main d!œuvre, la réglementation du gouverne-ment étranger, l!obtention des renseignements sur lesmarchés des États Membres l!obtention des licences ou descautions et partenaires locaux. * les entraves à l!importation:Les principaux obstacles reportés sont : le risque de ne pasavoir des autorisations du service des changes et l!obtentiondes cautions bancaires pour effectuer des importations suiv-is par les risques politiques et commerciaux, les normes dequalité, sanitaires et phytosanitaires, les évaluations endouane et les procédures douanières, l!obtention deslicences d!importation et les mesures de sauvegarde et lesrègles d!origine.

CONCLUSIONLe commerce intra-OCI s!est globalement bien comporté en2011 dans la mesure où la valeur du commerce a atteint 344milliards $US soit une hausse de 26,7% par rapport à 2010,de même la part du commerce intra-OCI dans le commerceglobal a progressé de 4% passant de 17,03% en 2010 à17,71% en 2011.Le commerce intra-OCI est dominé par les pays d!Asie àhauteur de 34% suivis par les pays du CCG avec 31%, lespays du Moyen Orient (24%), les pays d!Afrique subsahari-enne (6%) et les pays de l!UMA (5%). Il a atteint 688 mil-liards $US en 2011 soit 17,71% du commerce extérieur desÉtats Membres.Par ailleurs, la mise en œuvre du PRETAS déjà en vigueuren février 2010, des règles d!origine en Août 2011 et duProgramme Exécutif de la feuille de route pour le renforce-ment du commerce intra-OCI surtout dans le domaine de lapromotion du commerce, du financement du commerce, dela facilitation du commerce qui sera renforcé par l!initiativedu Guichet Unique Islamique, du renforcement des capacitéet du développement des produits stratégiques con-tribueront sans doute à l!augmentation de la part du com-merce intra-OCI dans le commerce global dans lesprochaines années. Pour mieux accroître le commerce intra-OCI, les organessubsidiaires et spécialisés de l!OCI doivent collaborer pourdévelopper les produits et services stratégiques suivants quicontribueront à atteindre l!objectif du Plan d!Action Décennalqui est de porter la part du commerce intra-OCI à 20% àl!horizon 2015 via entre autres, les projets intégrés dans lessecteurs suivants : coton, textiles et vêtements , matériel deconstruction et de l!ingénierie ; industrie du cuir et de lachaussure, produits agro-alimentaires, produits pharmaceu-tiques et services de la santé, produits Halal, transport etlogistique, technologies de l!information et de la communica-tion et services de l!éducation. !
