Measurements concerning the investments and related to the trade

The Mesures concerning the investments and related to the trade ( MIC ), (which corresponds to TRIM' S or Trade related Investment Measures ) are restraint measures imposed by the states within the framework of the Mondialisation. The Trims, which had been founded within the framework of the multinational configuration of universalization (the Sixties to 80) were abolished by the World Trade organization, because of the progressive change towards the total configuration, which we currently know.

The Trims corresponded to measures taken by the State S to protect their interior market from the overseas investments (IDE). One thus found among these Trims the obligation of compensation of the imports by exports, the obligation for the foreign companies to buy at local companies, as well as requirements as regards formation of the technology transfer and labor.

These measurements, more or less protectionist according to the State S which adopted them, were gradually abolished, in particular within the framework of GATT, and of the measurements taken by OMC since its creation in 1995. The MIC thus brought to the “Agreements to the measures concerning the investments and dependant on the trade”.
