Mike Moore préside la cérémonie de remise des diplômes qui clôture le seizième cours de politique commerciale de l'OMC

Au cours d'une cérémonie qui s'est tenue à Genève le jeudi 5 avril 2001, le Directeur général, M. Mike Moore a remis leur diplôme aux participants au 16ème cours de politique commerciale de l'OMC, venus de 30 pays et territoires douaniers.

En félicitant les participants, M. Moore a déclaré: “Je suis sûr que vous avez acquis des connaissances qui serviront les intérêts de vos pays et de vos peuples”. M. Moore a ajouté qu'en dépit du fait que les places disponibles dans les cours soient limitées par le manque de ressources, ces activités ont une incidence significative sur le renforcement des capacités.

Au nom du groupe de participants, M. Ka-shing Au, de Hong Kong, Chine, a remercié le Directeur général pour le soutien au renforcement des capacités fourni par les activités de formation de l'OMC. M. Au a souligné la dimension humaine de ce cours, assurant M. Moore que les contacts étroits noués durant le cours, tant entre participants qu'avec l'OMC, resteraient des liens solides.

Le 16ème cours de politique commerciale de l'OMC, qui s'est tenu du 15 janvier au 5 avril 2001, sera suivi d'un cours similaire en français, qui débutera le 23 avril 2001.
