	`TEXTE:`
DL=,/LP,/TX	`BRUXELLES, 10 nov (AFP) - La Commission europeenne a`
	`propose mercredi un nouveau systeme d'importations de bananes,`
	`en conformite avec les regles de l'OMC (Organisation mondiale`
	`du commerce), a annonce un porte-parole europeen.`

	`Ce systeme, qui devrait aussi sauvegarder l'acces preferentiel`
	`au marche europeen des pays ACP (Afrique-Caraobes-Pacifique),`
	`prevoit un mecanisme en deux etapes.`

/TX	`Dans un premier temps, le systeme des contingents tarifaires,`
	`qui avait ete condamne par l'OMC, reste en place jusqu'a la`
	`fin de 2005, mais avec des amenagements. Au-dela de cette`
	`date, les contingents devraient disparautre et ceder la place`
	`a un systeme uniquement tarifaire, soit des droits d'entree`
	`variables selon le pays d'origine.`

	`Pendant la periode transitoire, deux contingents tarifaires`
	`sont mis en place.`

	`Un premier contingent reserve pour les pays d'Amerique Latine`
	`et les pays ACP compterait 2,553 millions de tonnes, avec un`
	`droit de douane de 75 euros par tonne pour les pays d'Amerique`
	`Latine et nul pour les pays ACP.`

	`Un deuxieme contingent de 850.000 tonnes est mis en place`
	`pouvant varier selon les besoins du marche, partage entre`
	`deux categories de fournisseurs:, les bananes d'Amerique`
	`latine, avec un droit de 275 euros par tonne et les bananes`
	`ACP avec un droit nul.`

	`Les licences d'importation devraient etre distribues selon`
	`le principe du premier arrive, premier servi pour le 1er`
	`contingent.`

	`Pour le deuxieme contingent, les licences d'importations`
	`sont attribuees selon un systeme d'adjudication.`

	`conference consacree au controle des ventes d'armements`

	`Selon un porte-parole du FO, cette conference, organisee a la`

	`Paris, pourrait avoir lieu les 17 et 18 octobre. Sa date`
	`officielle n'a cependant pas encore ete fixee.`

/TX	`Lors de leur reunion de Paris, les principaux vendeurs d'armes,`
	`qui sont aussi les membres permanents du Conseil de Securite des`
	`Nations Unies (Chine, Etats-Unis, France, Grande-Bretagne, URSS)`
	`avaient engage un processus de negociations en vue de`
	`l'elaboration d'une sorte de code de "bonne conduite". L'objectif`
	`en est notamment de restreindre les ventes "dangereuses" aux pays`
	`a risque, a commencer par le Moyen Orient.`

	`Le controle des armements en Union Sovietique et la situation en`
	`Europe de l'Est, de meme que la crise yougoslave, devaient`
	`egalement etre evoques au cours de leur "reunion de travail" par`
	`les experts reunis jeudi et vendredi a Londres, a huis clos. Plus`
	`generalement, ces experts ont examine quelles regles communes de`
	`"retenue" dans les ventes d'armes pourraient etre etudiees par`
