SUPPLEMENT TO TRADE POLICY PAPER
MINISTERIAL MEETINGS WHERE TRADE ISSUES WILL BE DISCUSSED
1.
UNCTAD IV, to be held in Nairobi in May. The meeting
will focus primarily on commodities. The U.S. position
will be based on the comprehensive approach to commodities,
approved by the EPB. The approach focuses on techniques
to improve the functioning of commodity markets and includes
aspects of supply and market access, investment climate,
information exchange, compensatory finance and market dis-
tribution and production efficiency in LDC's. A paper is
being prepared on buffer stocks for EPB consideration. The
LDC's will be focusing on their integrated commodity program
including consideration of future institutional arrangements
for dealing with individual commodities; common financing; and
use of compensatory financing.
2.
OECD Ministerial Meetings, to be held in Paris probably
on June 21-22. The first day will be chaired by foreign
ministers and the second day will be chaired by finance
ministers. In addition to a discussion of economic prospects,
and the possible adoption of an OECD code for multinational
corporations, the meeting will cover the north-south dialogue,
including progress made in both UNCTAD and CIEC, and renewal
of the OECD Trade Pledge.
