SUMMARY

Abstract: This publication is a follow-up of a seminar on trade, environment and sustainable development, which took place from 17-19 March 1998. The interface between trade and the environment covers a large number of topics that merit thorough discussion. This publication introduces those themes related to trade and environment that were addressed in the seminar by national and international experts. The study focuses on the implementation of international environmental conventions particularly pertinent to the Malagasy context, such as CITES and the Convention on Biodiversity. The study also looks at Malagasy exports and their relation to the environment. In order to stress the positive aspects of the trade-environment linkages, trading opportunities for environmentally preferable products and, more particularly, organic products are examined. Other issues were equally the subject of this study, such as environmentally sound technology transfer, sustainable tourism, domestically prohibited goods or more generally imports which can have a harmful effect on the Malagasy environment.
