La Commission européenne a adopté aujourd'hui une proposition de règlement

proposition complète celle adoptée par la Commission le 18 décembre 1996
concernant les produits industriels, faisant suite à la conclusion d'une
enquête menée par la Commission sur des pratiques de travail forcé dans ce
pays. La Commission propose que ces mesures restent en vigueur jusqu'à ce
que les pratiques de travail forcé soient abolies.
