Alain Lemieux, L'approche sectorielle i la r~glementation des relations com- merciales internationales : une application au secteur du textile et du vte- ment, University of Ottawa
Principalement vers la fin des ann6es '50, les probl~mes rencontres dans le commerce international des textiles et des v~tements devinrent de plus en plus aigus. Aux yeux de la plupart des pays impliqu6s dans ce commerce, l'Accord gdn6ral sur les tarifs douaniers et le commerce s'av6rait insuffisant pour corriger ces probl~mes. Afin de pallier A cette situation, ces pays adopt~rent, au d6but des ann6es '60, un Accord h court terme sur les textiles de coton auquel se suc- c6deront l'Accord h long terme sur les textiles de coton et h partir de 1974, l'Ar- rangement concernant le commerce international des textiles (A.M.F.).
La pr6sente these a comme objectif principal d'analyser en profondeur l'6mergence et le fonctionnement de I'A.M.F., ainsi que son application dans Fun des pays participants, soit le Canada. Cette analyse nous permettra de d6montrer que la r6glementation sectorielle propos6e par I'A.M.F. s'impose comme une solution de compromis entre le protectionnisme sauvage et la lib6- ralisation absolue et imm6diate des 6changes.
Cet examen nous permettra enfin de constater que l'approche "A.M.F." a eu des influences certaines dans d'autres secteurs et surtout qu'elle s'inscrit dans cette tendance accrue la sp6cialisation du droit international 6conomique.

Problems found in the international clothing and textile industry became increasingly acute towards the end of the 1950s. Most countries involved in this trade did not find that the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade sufficiently dealt with these problems, thus to remedy this situation they adopted a short-
McGILL LAW JOURNAL
term agreement with respect to cotton in the early 1960s, followed by a long- term agreement, and finally, in 1974, the Arrangement Regarding International Trade in Textiles.
The principal objective of this thesis is to provide an in-depth analysis of the emergence and operation of the Arrangement Regarding International Trade in Textiles, as well as its application in Canada, one of its participating coun- tries. This analysis will demonstrate that the regulation proposed by the Arrangement Regarding International Trade in Textiles is the appropriate solu- tion with its compromise between protectionism and total liberalisation of trade.
Finally, this study will show how the Arrangement Regarding International Trade in Textiles approach has been influential in other areas and how it follows the tendency towards increased specialization in international economic law.
Hashem Jaber, The Remedies Regime Under the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, University of Ottawa
In 1980, a diplomatic conference sponsored by the United Nations in Vienna adopted the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (the Convention). The Convention entered into force in January 1988. The adoption of the Convention is an important step in the greater harmonization of the private law branches of international trade law.
The thesis introduces the remedies available to parties in the international sale of goods under the Convention and compares these remedies with those available under Egyptian, English and French law in order to reveal some of the effects the Convention may have on traders involved in international sales. The thesis concludes that (1) the Convention should serve as a useful initial step in the unification of international trade law if proper attention is given to its gen- eral principles and drafting history; (2) the Convention's remedial provisions serve the needs of international trade participants better than existing law; (3) the Convention's remedial provisions correspond more to international trade practice than do those of the selected domestic laws and are simple, clear, and easy for the international traders and their lawyers to understand, and (4) the Convention contains a unique system of remedies that is similar in some respects and different in many others from the remedies regimes of the domestic laws under consideration.

THESIS SURVEY
En 1980, une conf6rence diplomatique tenue A Vienne sous l'6gide des Nations Unies adopta la Convention des Nations Unies sur les contrats de vente intemationale de marchandises. La Convention entra en vigueur en janvier 1988. L'adoption de la Convention constitue une 6tape importante dans l'har- monisation accrue des composantes de droit priv6 du droit commercial international.
La these presente les recours disponsibles aux parties t des ventes interna- tionales de marchandises en vertu de la Convention, et les compare aux recours disponsibles en droit 6gyptien, anglais et frangais. Cette pr6sentation a pour objectif de d6voiler certains des effets que la Convention peut avoir sur les com- mergants impliqu6s h une vente internationale. L'auteur de la these tire les con- clusions suivantes : (1) la Convention devrait s'av6rer utile en tant que premiere dtape dans l'unification du droit commercial international, si 1'attention appro- pri6e est accord6e ses principes g6n6raux et A l'historique de sa r6daction ; (2) les recours disponibles en vertu de la Convention servent mieux les besoin du commerce international que le droit actuel ; (3) les recours disponsibles en vertu de la Convention correspondent davantage A la pratique du commerce interna- tional que celles des droits nationaux, et s'av~rent simples, clairs et faciles h comprendre; (4) la Convention comporte un syst6me de recours semblable certains 6gards et different bien d'autres des recours en vertu des droits nationaux.
Jinyan Li, Taxation and Tax Policy In China, Osgoode Hall Law School
The Chinese tax system is probably the most ancient and also the most recent in the world. Records of land taxes in China go back almost four thou- sand years. Yet when the People's Republic of China was declared in 1949, the tax system had almost completely broken down, a result of several decades of continual warfare. One of the first acts of the new government was to abolish the laws of the former Nationalist regime so, at the end of 1949, it could be said that China was virtually without a tax system.
The following thirty years saw massive changes in the economic, political, and social life of China - changes that were reflected in the country's tax sys- tem. New taxes were introduced almost immediately, in 1950, and these taxes grew, and then contracted, in step with the other changes to affect the country.
BY the time of the death of Mao Zedong, in 1976, the state had come to control, directly or indirectly, almost every aspect of the country's economic life. The countryside was organized into people's communes, and in the towns practically all manufacturing and commerce were conducted by enterprises owned or con-

trolled by the state. State enterprises accounted to the state for their profits. The only tax of any real importance was a form of turnover tax. Since almost all of the businesses that paid this tax also handed over their profits to the state, it was seriously questioned whether a tax system was needed at all. The situation altered dramatically with the introduction of economic reforms, commencing at the end of 1978. Foreign-owned enterprises were encouraged to establish joint ventures in China, and foreigners came to manage them and to do business.
State enterprises were given greater control over their funds, smaller enterprises were "re-collectivized" or leased to collectives or to individuals, and individuals were encouraged to establish their own businesses. All of these developments necessitated fundamental changes in the tax system, with the result that the pres- ent system is almost entirely the product of the past ten years. Indeed, tax reform has been such an integral, and essential, part of the process of economic reform that no study of the one may be made without regard to the other.
In this thesis, I have attempted to describe and analyze China's tax laws and tax policies within the general context of the current economic reforms.
Chapter 1 summarizes the evolution of the Chinese tax system from the 21 cen- tury B.C. to the present a historical overview of the tax development. Chapter 2 deals with taxes on goods and services, and explains why such taxes are important in a socialist economy. Chapter 3 discusses individual income taxes and their distinctive features compared to those in other countries. Chapter 4 describes the taxes on domestic enterprises and how they interact with the nature of state, collective and private enterprises. Chapter 5 analyzes tax laws and treaties concerning foreign business and investment. Chapters 6 and 7 are devoted to the discussion of agriculture tax and local taxes. Finally, Chapter 8 evaluates the current system of taxation based on the well accepted criteria in the West, and speculates on the prospects of future reforms.
Le syst~me fiscal chinois est probablement A la fois le plus ancien et le plus r6cent au monde. En Chine, les registres de taxes fonci~res remontent pros de quatre mille ans. Toutefois, lorsque la Rdpublique populaire de Chine fut pro- clamre en 1949, le syst~me fiscal s'6tait presque compl~tement effondr6, ht cause de plusieurs drcennies de guerre continue. Un des premiers actes du nou- veau gouvernement fut d'abolir les lois du rdgime Nationaliste precedent, de telle sorte qu'on peut affirmer qu' la fin de 1949 la Chine se trouvait pratique- ment sans syst~me fiscal.
Les trentes annres qui suivirent tdmoignent des changements massifs dans la vie 6conomique, politique et sociale de la Chine - ces changements se refl6- taient dans le syst~me fiscal du pays. De nouvelles taxes furent introduites presque immrdiatement en 1950, et ces taxes augment~rent puis diminu~rent

conform6ment aux autres changements qui affectaient le pays. A la mort de Mao Zedong en 1976, l'ttat avait, directement ou indirectement, progressive- ment r6ussi contr6ler presque tous les aspects de 6conomie chinoise. La cam- pagne 6tait organis6 en communes populaires, et dans les villes pratiquement toutes les manufactures et commerces 6taient dirig6s par des entreprises appar- tenant h l'ttat ou control6s par celui-ci. Les entreprises d'Etat rendaient compte A. 'IEtat de leurs profits. La seule taxe de quelqu'importance rfelle que se soit 6tait une sorte de taxe de remise. Puisque presque toutes les entreprises payant cette taxe c6daient aussi leurs profits h l'Etat, on s'est s6rieusement questionn6 sur la pertinence de ce syst~me fiscal. La situation changea de mani~re drama- tique avec l'introduction de r6formes 6conomiques d~s la fin de 1978. Les entre- prises 6trang~res furent encourag6es A 6tablir des co-entreprises en Chine, et des 6trangers vinrent les g6rer entreprendre des affaires. On laissa plus de libert6 aux entreprises d'ttat vis-A-vis de leurs fonds, les plus petites entreprises furent
<< re-collectivis6es> ou lou6es h des associations collectives on A des individus, et les individus furent encourag6s h lancer leurs propres entreprises. Des chan- gements drastiques dans le syst~me fiscal 6taient n6cessaires pour que de tels d6roulements se produisent. En somme, le syst~me qui existe pr6sentement est en grande partie le fruit de ces dix demi~res ann~es. En effet, la r6forme fiscale est une partie int6grante et essentielle du processus de r6forme economique A tel point qu'aucune 6tude de l'un ne peut se faire sans se r6f6rer A l'autre.
Cette these est un essai de description et d'analyse des lois et politique fis- cales de la Chine dans le contexte g6n6ral des r6formes 6conomiques actuelles.
Le premier chapitre r6sume l'6volution du syst~me fiscal chinois du vingt-et- uni~me si~cle avant J6sus Christ jusqu'h aujourd'hui. Le deuxi~me chapitre traite des taxes sur les biens et services, et justifie l'importance de telles taxes dans une 6conomie socialiste. Le troisi~me chapitre discute des imp6ts sur le revenu individuel et de ses caract6ristiques par rapport h celles d'autres pays. Le quatrime chapitre d6crit les taxes sur les entreprises domestiques et leur mode d'interaction eu 6gard A la nature d'entreprises tant d'Etat, que collectives, que priv6es. Le cinqui~me chapitre analyse les lois fiscales et les trait6s fiscaux qui concernent les entreprises 6trang~res et l'investissement. Les sixi~me et sep- ti~me chapitres traitent de taxes agricoles et locales. Finalement, le huiti~me chapitre 6value le syst~me fiscal actuel en fonction de crit~res bien 6tablis A l'ouest, et sp6cule quant aux possibilit6s de r6forme futures.

What contribution can prosecution make to environmental protection?
Many acts and omissions which only recently were considered to be stand- ard business practice now constitute environmental offences. In general, major environmental offences are characterized by pervasive uncertainty. It is difficult to define compliance, and difficult to achieve compliance. In order to achieve the policy goals of environmental protection, corporations must be induced to make major investments of their resources.
Earlier studies emphasized the many drawbacks of excessive reliance on prosecution to achieve regulatory goals, including a well-founded reluctance of regulators to use prosecution vigorously. An examination of recent changes by
Ontario's environmental regulators demonstrates that much can be done to make prosecution an effective part of a regulatory program. In particular, it is possible to design a prosecution strategy which does motivate corporations to invest in compliance with environmental statutes. This motivation is particu- larly intense if corporate executives face personal prosecution. Existing Cana- dian law can be interpreted as permitting personal prosecution of officers and directors in a wide variety of cases.
However, Ontario's increased investment in prosecution has not become as effective in achieving the goals of environmental protection as it could be. The major remaining weaknesses in Ontario's enforcement strategy are a lack of precision in defining the behaviour (i.e. the level of "compliance") which is demanded of business, failure to reward desirable behaviour, and over-use of the criminal model of prosecution as an automatic response to violations.
In order to reward desirable behaviour, we must be able to identify it. This is one of the major functions of the judicially created defence of due diligence.
Due diligence encourages corporations and their executives to invest in environ- mental compliance, because it assists them to predict the level of investment required, and to rely on that investment to purchase a valuable commodity, namely protection from conviction. At the same time, it is the interpretation of
1508 [Vol. 36

due diligence which defines the level of investment in environmental compli- ance which prosecution can logically induce.
A new approach to due diligence is proposed, focusing on the methodical process of exercising it. In addition, it is proposed that the scope of due dili- gence should be broadened, by incorporation of the growing concept of a right to a healthy environment, and by creation of a new fiduciary duty owed to future generations to leave the natural environment better than it was when we received it. Taking all of these factors into account, a Model Enforcement Policy is proposed.
Quelle contribution la poursuite pfnale peut-elle apporter A la protection de 1'environnement?
Nombre d'actes et d'omissions, qui jusqu'h maintenant n'6taient consid6- r~s que comme pratique commerciale courante, constitutent A pr6sent des infrac- tions contre 1'environnement. En g~ndral, les infractions contre 1'environnement majeurs sont caractdrisds par une incertitude g6nfralisfe. II est difficile de dffi- nir ce qu'est la conformit6, et aussi difficile de l'atteindre. Les entreprises doivent etre incitfes h investir leurs ressources h une 6chelle tr~s importante, afin d'atteindre les objectifs de politique en mati~re de protection de l'environnement.
Des 6tudes antfrieures mettaient 1'accent sur les nombreuses d6savantages que prfsentait une ddpendance excessive sur des poursuites judiciaires pour atteindre les objectifs r~glementaires ainsi qu'une reticence bien fond6e des rfgulateurs h utiliser energiquement la poursuite judiciaire. Un examen de chan- gements rfcents, effectu6 par les rfgulateurs en mati~re d'environnement de l'Ontario, montre qu'il existe de nombreuses possibilitfs pour intdgrer efficace- ment les poursuites judiciaires h un programme de r~glementation. I est notam- ment possible de concevoir une stratfgie de poursuite judiciaire qui motive les entreprises h investir dans la conformit6 avec les lois environnementales. La loi canadienne pr~sentement en vigueur peut 6tre interprdt~e comme permettant la poursuite judiciaire titre personelle des officiers et directeurs dans un grand nombre de cas.
Toutefois, 1'augmentation des investissements dans ce genre de poursuite, pour atteindre les buts fixds en mati~re de protection de l'environnement, ne s'est pas avdr6 aussi efficace qu'il le pourrait. Les plus importantes faiblesses qui subsistent dans la strat6gie ontarienne pour les mesures d'application de la loi sont les suivantes: un manque de pr&cision dans la definition du comporte- ment exig6 de 1'entreprise (c'est A dire le niveaux de conformit6), l'absence de

recompense pour un comportement souhaitable, et l'usage excessif du module de poursuite criminel comme rdponse automatique aux violations.
Pour rdcompenser un comportement souhaitable, il est avant tout n~ces- saire de pouvoir l'identifier. C'est une des principales fonctions de la cr6ation judiciaire de defense fondde sur la diligence raisonnable. La diligence raison- nable encourage les corporations et leurs cadres investir dans la conformit6 avec les normes environnementales, puisque cela les aide A prdvoir le niveau d'investissement ndcessaire, et h utiliser cet investissement pour l'achat d'un bien de grande valeur, soit une protection contre d'6ventuelles condamnations.
De plus, c'est l'interprdtation de la diligence raisonnable qui d6finit le niveau d'investissement dans le respect des normes environnementales, qu'une pour- suite de se genre peut logiquement impliquer.
Une nouvelle fagon de concevoir la diligence raisonnable est propos~e, centrde sur le procd6 mdthodique de son application. De plus, on sugg~re que la portde de la diligence raisonnable soit 61argie, d'une part incluant un concept en d6velopement du droit A un environnement sain, et d'autre part grace t la crdation d'une nouvelle obligation fiduciaire envers les gdndrations I venir, afin de laisser notre environnement naturel dans un meilleur 6tat que celui dans lequel on l'a trouv6. Un module de mesure d'application est propos6 en tenant compte de tous ces facteurs.
