Special - Food Sovereignty N°1 - Rather than protectionism, food sovereignty

Rather than protectionism, food sovereignty

In the world, the number of malnutris chronic passed from 826 to 852 million between 1995-1997 and 2000-2002. For the three quarters D? between them, it S? acts the rural ones, primarily of the farmers. They are 204 million in sub-Saharan Africa, where L? life expectancy has moved back for twenty years. Do the farmers constitute two thirds of the credits there? that is to say 110 million more qu? in 1969-1971? , and the malnutris represent a third of the population. Under pretext that the share of L? Did sub-Saharan Africa in total trade pass from 2% to 1,6% between 1990 and 2004, one reads here and there qu? it would not be sufficiently inserted in the world market… C? is an enormous untruth: the share of the exchanges in the interior product gross (GDP) there was, in 2003, of 52,7%, against 41,5% on average world, 19% in the United States, 19,9% in Japan and 16% in the zone euro (except exchanges intern) (1). D? where a conclusion which N? is never publicly drawn: if L? one puts aside the 70% emergent countries D? Eastern Asia (China at the head), the richness of the nations is inversely proportional to their insertion in the world trade!

The percentage of the malnutris in the developing countries (the DEVELOPING COUNTRIES) is proportional to the share of the agricultural produce in their total exports (2). Except tropical products, the food deficit (difference between production and consumption) strongly increased. Thus, of 1995 to 2003, agroalimentary exports of L? Africa of L? West grew of 50% (from 4 to 6,1 billion dollars), but the deficit of its food exchanges increased more: 55% (passing from 2,9 to 4,3 billion dollars).

L? objective of the ministerial conference of L? Should world organization of trade (OMC) with Hongkong be the fixing of rules of the trade durable, take into account L? increase of 3 billion the total number D? human between 2000 and 2050, including 1 billion in sub-Saharan Africa. And that in the context of the climatic reheating, for which Brazilian researchers do estimate that, if the planetary temperature would go up of 5,8 degrees, the potential grounds of Brazil for soya, the corn, rain rice, the bean and the coffee would decrease by half, and D? a third if the rise were only 3 degrees (3). Should that moderate the fever agro-exporter D? a country where, to produce and sell with L? outside always more soya and of beef and veal, the accelerated deforestation of L? Does Amazonia strongly contribute to L? effect of greenhouse.

Vis-a-vis such stakes, which answer? The frenzy of all the States to make cycle of trade negociations said “of Doha” (4) (or “development”) that of L? “access to the market” in all the fields! Multilateral strategy, like bilateral, of both superpuissances commercial that are L? European union and the United States is limpid: since L? does agriculture “weigh” less than 2% of their GDP, against approximately 75% for the services and the balance for the industrial products (of which agroalimentary products), requirements of growth and D? employment must result in exporting always more services and industrial products, even if it means to import more foodstuffs. Successive reforms of the common agricultural policy (CAP) European since 1992, of the law on L? agriculture (Farm Bill) in the United States since 1996, as well as L? Agreement on L? agriculture (AsA) of L? OMC, put in? uvre since 1995, continued this only and single objective, which remains that of the cycle of Doha.

So that the farmers accept these reforms politically, it was necessary to compensate for the fall of the farm prices by subsidies recognized by L? AsA like having little D? “effects of distortion of the exchanges”? in the jargon of L? Are OMC, they classified in the “blue box”? or N? while having at all? and they are then classified in the “green box” (see “Glossary”). What means that these assistances must be partially (blue box) or completely (green box) “uncoupled” from or the production price level of L? current year. The speech on the benefits which would result from it for L? environment, landscapes, the quality of the products and animal wellbeing N? is qu? an alibi with L? use of the taxpayers.

L? European union sought “to sell” these reforms with the DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in two manners. Initially, it accepted D? in the long term to eliminate the “restitutions”, name given to its subsidies with L? export, which actually dropped, of 9,5 billion D? ecus in 1992 to 3,4 billion D? euros in 2002. But, like the United States, it refuses to notify to L? OMC direct assistances of the boxes blue and green which also profit, but in an indirect way, with the exported products. C? is the case, for example, those going to cereals and, consequently, the meats of the animals having consumed them. In the second place, L? Did union propose, on October 28, 2005, to reduce by 70% L? together of its coupled internal supports, and to decrease by 46% on average its customs duties, out “sensitive products”. Obviously, n the other hand, it awaits the DEVELOPING COUNTRIES qu? they quote equivalent in L? access to their markets of the services and the nonagricultural products. The proposals of the United States to reduce by 53% their coupled internal supports (5), and by 55% to 90% the customs duties, go in the same direction.

Since the ministerial conference of L? Did OMC of Cancún (September 2003), the DEVELOPING COUNTRIES put an end to L? hegemony of Quadrilateral (the United States, European Union, Japan, Canada) on L? OMC. After the constitution of the regroupings of named countries G20, G33 and G90 (see “Glossary”), Brazil and L? India replaced Japan and Canada in G4 ensuring the control of the negotiations. With the risk to betray the majority of the DEVELOPING COUNTRIES and to continue to marginalize the poorest countries of G90.

Are the DEVELOPING COUNTRIES less and less easily deceived “play of the boxes” to which L were delivered? Union and the United States since 1992, by transferring a percentage growing their supports from the orange box (“coupled” supports, therefore ineluctably to reduce) to the blue box, then with the green box? in which the reform of the CAP of June 2003 and D? April 2004 made it possible to place 90% of the internal subsidies! Actually, since 1995, Washington and Brussels cheat massively in the notification of their internal supports and with L? export, and in the conformity of the CAP and Farm Bill with the rules of L? AsA.

L? article 6.2 of L? Does AsA stipulate that, for the developed countries, the subsidies with the inputs (C? be-with-statement with the intermediate consumptions, in particular of raw materials) “are coupled”. Like 60% of the production of cereals, oilseeds and protéagineux (COP) of L? Are European union and of the United States inputs of the livestock productions, it S? what follows 60% of the direct assistances with the COP (9 billion D? euros per annum) “are coupled”. L? Union however notified out of blue box, and the United States notified their direct payments out of green box. In three recent judgements, L? Body of settlement of disputes (ORD) of L? Did OMC finally admit qu? L had to be considered? together subsidies profiting with the exported products? including those of the green box? like contributing to the dumping.
Do iniquitous agreements

Vis-a-vis Brussels and in Washington, G20, G33 and G90 have D in common? to require developed countries L? elimination of the restitutions, a strong reduction of the “coupled” supports and customs duties. Does none of these groups dispute the legitimacy of L? OMC vis-a-vis the risks, considered to be definitely higher, D? bilateral agreements of free trade, as one does see it in those, particularly iniquitous, than L? European union intends to impose on the ACP countries (Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific) in 2008 (6). Do all refuse D? to open their markets of the nonagricultural products and the services before D? to be ensured of L? stop of the agricultural dumping of North and D? a broad opening of its agroalimentary markets. Commercial Minister of L? India, Mr. Kamal Nath declared on November 8: “L? is stake of this cycle of knowing S? it will profit with those which gain 1 dollar per day or 5.000 dollars per month (7). ”

Beyond these convergences, 3 G (G20, G33, G90) are divided on the degree of protection of their domestic market. Is G20 quartered between its nine most competitive members? of which those of Mercosur (8) and Thailand? , which wishes L? opening of the markets, including those of the hostile South, and ten members also belonging to G33 (of which China, L? India and L? Indonesia), which wants to maintain a strong protection, including with respect to other DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. Because, in 2004, 51% of agroalimentary exports of Brazil were intended for D? other DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, against 23% in 1990. Do the members of G90, as for them, rightly fear the strong erosion of the tariff preferences from which they still profit, if L? European union and the United States too strongly reduces their nonpreferential customs duties.

Current rules of L? AsA are unjust: only can the rich countries support their farmers by authorized internal subsidies, but having effects of dumping and substitution for the imports, whereas, in same time, they oblige the poor countries to reduce L? single instrument with their range: protection with L? importation. C? is why food sovereignty? an effective protection with L? importation? , associated L? prohibition of any export in lower part of the average total cost of production without direct and indirect subsidy, is, paradoxically, the least protectionist form of the support of agricultures for all the countries.

Refonder the CAP and L? Is AsA on food sovereignty in L? obvious interest of L? European union since its exports to third countries, expressed as a percentage of its total production 2000-2003, N? were that 10,7% for cereals, 6,9% for the meats and 9,5% for the dairy products. L? is agriculture used to him as currency D? exchanges in its negotiations with L? OMC and with Mercosur for D? to open additional markets with its exports of services and industrial products. But, with this play, it is likely to lose infinitely more than its 11 million D? agricultural credits, taking into account the “multipurpose” character of L? agriculture: food production, safeguarding of L? environment, grid of the territories, etc The United States is in a comparable situation, since their agroalimentary surplus does not cease dropping: it passed from 26,8 billion dollars in 1996 to 14,3 billion in 2001 and to 7,3 billion in 2004, the forecasts being of 4 billion for 2005, and a deficit growing with means and long terms.

To incite L? Europe and the United States with S? to engage in a food policy of sovereignty, the strategy is simple: to put an end to their massive cheatings in order to oblige them, under the pressure of their farmers separated of subsidies, with refonder the CAP and Farm Bill on remunerative prices for the producers, therefore on an effective protection with L? importation.

As such a step is incompatible with the objectives of L? OMC, two solutions would be possible: that is to say to return to the special statute of L? agriculture in L? General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) D? before 1995 (where were all the forms of protection authorized in fact), but by prohibiting on the other hand all the types of subsidies to L? export; maybe, preferably, to entrust the regulation of agricultural trade at an institution which could be L? United Nations for L? food and L? agriculture (FAO) or the United Nations Conference on Trade and Developme (UNCTAD), even at an ad hoc institution. It would also have as a function D? to ensure the international coordination of the control of L? offers, so D? to avoid the structural overproductions, and D? to impose minimal prices, in particular for the tropical products.

Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Us young people come from the various countries D? Africa and D? Europe represented: Benign, Cameroun, Congo-Brazzaville, Mali, Niger, Mauritania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal and France.

Taking part in the 3rd Edition of L? University D? Summer of Punt forms African for an Equitable Trade (Interdependent PEACE/Action), held in Saint-Louis (Republic of Senegal) of the 13 at August 15, 2008, placed under the topic “youth vis-a-vis the challenges of the millenium”.

Having become aware of the challenges and stakes which arise for our continent in this beginning of the third millenium, challenges which relate in particular to the various sets of themes:

1. Food safety in Africa: Place and role of African youth;
2. OMD (Objective of the Millenium for the Development): The challenge of the young people;
3. Climatic change: Which behavior to cure it? ;
4. APE (Agreements of Economic Partnership): Dimension development, New strategies of plea.

Have, after having examined, within the framework of work in workshops relating to the sets of themes above, and noted the need D? a widened networking and D? a greater synergy D? action on the level of the African continent, by making more place with youth in the strategies of plea to defend the interests of L? Africa vis-a-vis the current stakes in the world.

Participants in this University D? Summer S? worry on the situation of food Safety in the world in general and in Africa in particular, ask that efforts be made out of matter D? inputs, D? access to the ground and the appropriations, of the control of L? water, D? organization of the agricultural dies and management of the conflicts; so qu? is a final solution found for L? self-sufficiency and the food sovereignty of the African continent in:

? Facilitating L? access of the young people and the women to the ground, and the appropriations;
? Founding preventive and curative measures vis-a-vis the climatic risks;
? Organizing the agricultural dies and by promoting the local products vis-a-vis the competition of the strongly subsidized imported products;
? Reinforcing the technical capabilities of the farmers (country, fishing, stockbreeders).

L? University D? Does summer of Saint-Louis require of African youth, of S? to engage and D?? uvrer for L? attack of the Objectives of the Millenium for the Development D? here 2015. For this purpose, relating to L? Objective 1 (Reduction of L? extreme poverty and of the hunger), the participants recommend the following solutions:
? The promotion of L? entreprenariat of the young people;
? The support of L? State with the actions of the young people;
? The promotion of L? country agriculture;
? L? effective implication of the young people to the catch of the decisions.
For L? Objective 2 of the OMD (To ensure L? primary education for all), the recommendations hereafter were made:
? Removal of L? exploitation of the children, in order to guarantee a primary education for all;
? The installation of inciting measurements, to encourage L? primary education of the children;
? The decentralization of L? primary education in the most moved back zones;
? L? adaptation of L? primary education with our cultural values and morals.
In connection with L? Objective 3 (To promote L? equality of the sexes and L? autonomisation of the women), L? stress was laid on:
? The maintenance of the girls with L? school (positive discrimination);
? Valorization, L? framing and promotion D? economic activities of the women;
? The popularization of the law on the parity and its appropriation by the women.

Moreover, the participants reaffirm that the human activities (Deforestation, uncontrolled urbanization, production of gases for purpose of greenhouse, practise agricultural nondurable, etc) are the principal causes of climatic Change. For this purpose, they put forward the measures D? attenuation of the impacts and D? adaptation to the climatic change below:

? The afforestation by adapted species and the follow-up;
? The sensitizing of the populations to the good environmental conduits;
? The setting in? uvre of the strategies of durable urban development;
? Reduction or the reduction D? emission of gases for purpose of greenhouse;
? Did the popularization of BREAD (Plane D? National action D? Adaptation to the climatic change) and its translation in national languages;
? The promotion of renewable energies;
? L? adoption of the practices D? durable agriculture;
? The methods D? cleansing and of waste processing respectful of L? environment;
? L? durable adjustment of fishings.

Considering what do the problems of the APE (Agreements of Economic Partnership) constitute one of the major stakes for L? economic future of L? Africa, L? University D? be of Saint-Louis 2008 invites young D? to be with C? ur of the strategies of Plea for a renegotiation between L? European union and L? African union, in order to arrive at the signature of the equitable APE which will take into account dimension D? regional integration and the durable development of L? Africa. The strategies selected to this end are:

? L? information and the sensitizing of the populations;
? Reconciliation of the interests of country signatories of the interim agreements with those of the countries not signatories;
? Consolidation and reinforcement of L? African integration;
? The denunciation of the interim agreements;
? The installation of the structures of follow-up and D? alarm;
? L? information of the populations on L? state D? advance of the negotiations of these agreements.

The Third edition of L? University D? does summer reiterate its step in direction of the authorities and the African decision makers for the setting in? uvre of these measures suggested by the young people, and of the strategies or D? other effective actions for L? economic integration and the durable development of the African countries.

Do the participants denounce with last energy, the pressure of L? European union on certain African countries for the signature of the interim agreements, and D? other agreements which involve the cut-price selling or the ecological dumping of our natural resources.

Do the young people reiterate their firm will to take an active part in all the initiatives contributing to construction D? a new vision of the Rebirth African, only able to carry out the safety and the food sovereignty of the continent.

Lastly, the young people wish that the Chief of L? Is State of Senegal, its Excellence Me Abdoulaye WADE, the godfather of their network but also their lawyer auprès D? other chiefs D? State African for qu? a more attentive listening is granted to different associations and antennas from their movements represented in the various countries of the Continent.

Le Virus de la Grippe aviaire
About this event: MDG West Africa Open Forum
Related to country: Cameroon


Décrite dès l'Antiquité et au Moyen-Age, la grippe a été identifiée comme une cause d'épidémies au fil des siècles. Si l'on ne sait pas vraiment quand les virus sont apparus chez l'homme, on est aujourd'hui en mesure d'expliquer l'origine et la cause de la ré-émergence périodique des pandémies de grippe.
Un virus très variable.

La grippe est due à trois groupes de virus, A, B et C. Tandis que le virus de type C est relativement stables, les virus de type A et B évoluent sans cesse.

Un premier mécanisme de variation est appelé glissement antigénique : des mutations de gènes codant pour des protéines de surface provoquent des modifications mineures du virus. Le nouveau variant reste très proche du précédent, si bien que l'immunité conférée par une grippe contractée précédemment protégera contre le nouveau variant.
Cependant l'accumulation de ces modifications entraîne une différence antigénique qui aboutit à une moindre reconnaissance du nouveau virus par les systèmes immunitaires qui ont rencontré ces virus dans le passé. Ce phénomène impose le changement des souches vaccinales plus ou moins régulièrement. L'aspect progressif de ces changements explique que la plupart des épidémies sont souvent mineures ou de moyenne importance.

Pour les virus de type A, il existe un deuxième phénomène de variation, appelé cassure, qui peut être plus grave. Des changements radicaux des protéines antigéniques du virus, avec le remplacement d'une protéine par une autre, donnent naissance à un nouveau virus, totalement différent de celui qui circulait jusque-là. Brutalement ce nouveau virus apparaît et gagne tous les continents. C'est la pandémie. L'immunité pré-existante ne protège pas et un vaccin préparé avec les souches précédentes est inefficace.
C'est ainsi que de nouveaux virus sont apparus, causant des pandémies dramatiques : grippe espagnole en 1918 (40 millions de morts), grippe asiatique en 1957 (4 millions de morts) et grippe de Hong Kong en 1968 (2 millions de morts).
Une cassure impliquant le gène de la protéine majeure de surface du virus, l'hémagglutinine, constitue le point de départ d'une pandémie potentielle, après laquelle une période de circulation dans l'espèce humaine s'installe avec des épidémies saisonnières "normales".
Depuis vingt-cinq ans, les virus en circulation sont des descendants du virus Hong-Kong (1968). Les vaccins légèrement modifiés chaque année sont efficaces.

A ces deux mécanismes, il faut ajouter la possibilité de ré-émergence d'un virus ancien. Ainsi, un sous-type disparu depuis 1957 est réapparu en 1977 causant "l'épidémie de grippe russe" et les virus qui en sont dérivés circulent toujours aujourd'hui..

Un virus qui vient des oiseaux

Où dorment ces virus pendant des années ?
Sans doute chez les animaux et notamment les porcs et les oiseaux. Les oiseaux sont vraisemblablement l'hôte original des virus de la grippe : ils servent de réservoirs à tous les sous-types de virus A. Les réservoirs animaux jouent un rôle important dans l'apparition de nouveaux virus chez l'homme. L'exemple le plus documenté est l'apparition du virus de Hong Kong en 1968. Ce nouveau virus s'est rapidement étendu aux pays voisins puis au monde entier en l'espace d'une année. Les virus humains qui circulaient seuls depuis 1957 appartenaient au sous-type A (H2N2). Deux gènes dont un gène majeur ont alors été remplacés par leurs équivalents de virus aviaires : H3 a remplacé H2.

Les pandémies de grippe prennent souvent naissance en Extrême-Orient où la population très dense vit en contact étroit avec les animaux. L'élevage conjoint du porc et du canard favorise le passage du virus de l'animal à l'homme. Les canards domestiques sont contaminés par des canards sauvages migrateurs. Les porcs respirent de grandes quantités de virus aviaires. Si le porc est également contaminé par un virus humain, un virus hybride peut apparaître. Ensuite, les fermiers sont contaminés par voie respiratoire par le nouveau virus. Après quelques mutations, le virus s'adapte à l'homme et commence à se répandre dans la population.

Les virus grippaux des oiseaux constituent un gisement de gènes viraux. On pensait jusqu'à récemment que ces virus n'infectaient pas l'homme mais pouvaient infecter le porc, que des virus humains peuvent aussi contaminer. Le porc semblait être l'intermédiaire obligatoire entre l'oiseau et l'homme. L'épisode de "la grippe du poulet" survenu à Hong-Kong en 1997 a cependant montré que des virus aviaires pouvaient directement provoquer des cas humains de grippe, parfois sévères : 18 personnes furent touchées dont 6 décédèrent. Le même virus aviaire (H5N1) infecta en 2003 deux autres personnes dont une mourut, toujours à Hong Kong. Deux cas en 1999 et un en décembre 2003 ont encore été recensés dans cette ville, mais dûs à un autre virus aviaire A(H9N2). Un troisième virus aviaire A(H7N7) a provoqué la mort d'un vétérinaire et touché 83 personnes aux Pays-Bas en avril 2003.

La menace de la grippe aviaire A(H5N1)

Huit pays d'Asie ont été touchés fin 2003-début 2004 par une épizootie de grippe aviaire due au virus A(H5N1) : Cambodge, Chine, Indonésie, Japon, Laos, Corée du Sud, Thaïlande et Vietnam. En janvier 2004, l'OMS lançait l'alerte : le virus aviaire en circulation était déclaré transmissible à l'homme. Plusieurs cas humains mortels avaient alors été recensés au Vietnam, la plupart des personnes infectées faisant partie de familles de fermiers, avec des élevages familiaux de volailles. De fait, entre le 30 décembre 2003 et le 17 mars 2004, 12 cas humains d'infection due au virus A(H5N1) avaient été confirmés en Thaïlande, et 23 au Vietnam, provoquant au total 24 décès. Pendant cette période, 100 millions de poulets étaient morts de la maladie ou avaient été abattus. Une résurgence de l'épizootie en juin 2004 dans certains pays et quelques cas sporadiques chez l'homme avaient suivis.
Mais c'est surtout depuis fin décembre 2004 que la situation s'est à nouveau aggravée, avec la découverte de nouveaux foyers chez les volailles au Vietnam et plusieurs décès chez l'homme, puis les premiers cas humain au Cambodge, et une recrudescence de l'épizootie dans certaines provinces en Thaïlande ainsi que dans le Nord-Ouest de la Chine. Récemement, les premiers foyers de grippe aviaire H5N1 ont été signalés chez des volailles en Europe (Turquie et Roumanie). Le premier cas humain en Indonésie a été confirmé en juillet 2005. A ce jour*, le bilan global officiel des cas humains touchés par la grippe aviaire est de 118 cas, dont 61 décès, recensés au Vietnam (91 cas), en Thaïlande (18 cas), au Cambodge (4 cas) et en Indonésie (5 cas).
Bien que des cas de transmission d'homme à homme aient été suspectés, le virus ne fait pas aujourd'hui l'objet d'une transmission interhumaine efficace. Mais la rencontre entre le virus aviaire et le virus humain est actuellement redoutée: elle pourrait conduire à des échanges génétiques entre les deux types de virus et déboucher sur un virus réassortant susceptible de s'adapter plus facilement à l'homme. Un tel virus pourrait alors diffuser sur un mode épidémique voire pandémique. A l'heure actuelle, l'abattage massif des élevages de volailles et la mobilisation d'un réseau international de laboratoires, dont un à l'Institut Pasteur, font partie des moyens mis en œuvre pour prévenir une éventuelle pandémie. Des candidat-vaccins humain contre le virus A(H5N1), mis au point par différents laboratoires en Grande-Bretagne et aux Etats-Unis, devraient entrer en phase d'essais cliniques.
