    La réforme des règles d'origine des produits du schéma des préférences généralisées (SPG) -- Entre impératif de simplification et besoin de protection
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , n. 558, mai ,  2012 ,  303-314
    The EU has granted, since 1971, significant price reduction to a set of products coming from countries declared eligible for the community preference plan (SPG) imported into the EU. Regulation 1063/2010 dated 18/11/2010, which constitutes a significant step in a process initiated in 2003, defines the EU's intentions, regarding the original rules of the SPG system, and changes some clauses of the current provisions to make them effective. The new text, which is in line with the millennium Doha programme for development is designed as an answer to the expectations of countries eligible for the plan, specifically of the PMAs, which demand simpler, less restrictive original rules in order to include them more easily in the world economy. The reform simplification requirement sought by the reform does not prevent us from revealing its preventative aspect for better community industry protection. A general through on the material and procedure rules of the new SPG system is necessary in order to better understand the ambivalent nature of the reform.
