 Summer Camp 2008
 
 
Sous le parrainage de  la Commission des Nations Unies UNCITRAL
 
     
 Origin
The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) was established by the General Assembly in 1966 ( Resolution 2205(XXI) of 17 December 1966). In establishing the Commission, the General Assembly recognized that disparities in national laws governing international trade created obstacles to the flow of trade, and it regarded the Commission as the vehicle by which the United Nations could play a more active role in reducing or removing these obstacles.
 
Mandate
The General Assembly gave the Commission the general mandate to further the progressive harmonization and unification of the law of international trade. The Commission has since come to be the core legal body of the United Nations system in the field of international trade law.
 
Composition
The Commission is composed of sixty member States elected by the General Assembly. Membership is structured so as to be representative of the world's various geographic regions and its principal economic and legal systems. Members of the Commission are elected for terms of six years, the terms of half the members expiring every three years.
 
Working groups
The Commission has established six working groups to perform the substantive preparatory work on topics within the Commission's programme of work. Each of the working groups is composed of all member States of the Commission.
The six working groups and their current topics are as follows:

association française en faveur de l'institution consulaire 
Lors de sa création en 1985, la mission dévolue à l’AFFIC était de promouvoir la formation des juges et l’information des justiciables du Tribunal de Commerce de Paris.
 
Depuis 1994, le champ d’action de l’AFFIC a été élargi, afin de prendre en charge certaines tâches para-juridictionnelles, notamment sur les questions d’information dans le domaine de la prévention des difficultés des entreprises, en liaison avec la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Paris.
 
C’est ainsi que la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Paris et l’AFFIC ont mis en place l’Observatoire Consulaire des Entreprises en Difficultés.
 
Une action internationale a également été développée, a travers une coopération avec des juridictions commerciales étrangères ou des Instituts de Droit des Affaires de facultés européennes. Dans le cadre de ses activités internationales, l’AFFIC apporte une assistance aux juridictions commerciales de pays émergent ou en voie de démocratisation (Europe de l’Est, Extrême-Orient, Moyen-Orient, Afrique Francophone...).
 
Les activités de l’AFFIC sont menées à l’aide des participations de ses adhérents dont la variété fait la richesse de l’AFFIC et l’intérêt des manifestations qu’elle organise régulièrement.
 
Aujourd’hui, l’AFFIC vise à :
 
« DOCUMENTER, INSTRUIRE, PRÉVENIR, COMMUNIQUER »
 
pour cela, elle organise régulièrement :
- des colloques « rencontres » et « forum »
- des petits déjeuners débats 
- des sessions d’information 
- des rencontres internationales
- un voyage annuel

L’AFFIC 91 (Association Française en Faveur de l’Institution Consulaire essonnienne) est une association de 1901.

Fondée en 2004 par les juges, mandataires et avocats de la juridiction d’Evry, l’association compte actuellement plus de 60 membres, de toutes les professions citées plus haut.
 
Elle s’est donné pour vocation :
 
  • De se mettre au service des entreprises de l’Essonne, en participant, en collaboration avec les organisations professionnelles telles que la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie, à des actions d’information aux chefs d’entreprise, tant dans le domaine des procédures collectives que du contentieux, en mettant l’accent, dans ces deux domaines, sur les mesures et actions de prévention, ayant pour effet de régler les litiges et les situations de difficulté avant de recourir au tribunal ;
  • De contribuer à la formation des juges du Tribunal de Commerce d’Evry
  • D’offrir à tous les membres l’occasion d’enrichir leurs connaissances en organisant des débats de haut niveau dans lesquelles se rencontrent leurs différentes compétences ;
  • De participer à l’action qui est en train de se développer entre quelques tribunaux de commerce de l’Ile de France pour développer la compétence des ses membres en matière de procédures collectives transfrontalières, phénomène qui résulte de la mondialisation, et qui va très prochainement devoir faire partie de la vie quotidienne des juges consulaires, et de tous les auxiliaires de justice. A ce titre elle contribue à l’organisation et au financement du Summer Camp 2008, première manifestation d’échanges organisée par la France dans le domaine des procédures collectives transfrontalières

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIP) assures the achievement of its missions (“inform, guide, animate and represent”) in the 20 districts of the French capital to serve the company managers of the whole area (about 310,000 companies in Paris and the neighbouring communes).
 
The Camber of Commerce and Industry is a public establishment consisting of 80 members elected by their peers and chosen from the ranks of the company managers (36 are from Paris itself).
With two locations, the CCIP intervenes in the daily life of 180,000 enterprises in Paris and supports their permanent development.
The CCIP puts at the disposal of managers the varied skills of its advisers, economists, statisticians, and law people. They are close to the creators, tradesmen and company managers, they foresee the needs they might have and set up networks of mutual help.
 
The CCIP is consulted by the public governmental bodies in the fields of commercial town-planning or just town-planning, as well as concerning the law texts applying to commercial activities. Numerous Commissions of the town of Paris count among their members representatives of the CCIP, and a large number of specialized structures work with CCIP in professional, associative and state problems.
