Typewritten verso : Canada today signed the Agreement establishing the Common Fund for Commodities, a central element in the North-South dialogue. The Agreement is the result of four years intensive negotiations between developed and developing countries sponsored by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). A primary objective of the new financial institution is to help International Commodity Agreements finance buffer stocks of commodities in price stabilization schemes. It will also finance other measures such as commodity development. // Michel Dupuy, Canada's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, signing the Agreement at UN Headquarters as UN Legal Counsel Erik SUY looks on.
