Welcome Speech by Mr. Mondher Zenaidi Tunisian Minister of Commerce

摘要

Allow me first of all to express my pride and happiness in delivering the inaugural speech at this, the 34~(th) CIML meeting, that is this year being held in Tunis. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the OIML for having chosen Tunisia to host its meeting. My thanks equally go to the organizers of this meeting, which undoubtedly constitutes an appropriate opportunity for all those concerned with legal metrology to study issues related to this matter due to their importance for consumers and enterprises alike. Over the past years the world has witnessed important developments consisting mainly of the emergence of globalization of the economy, regional gatherings and important scientific developments, especially in the technological field and other areas including telecommunication and computer sciences. The phenomena of economic globalization, fierce competition and the opening up of international markets allow only products of a very high quality produced at lower costs to enter markets in the light of a new global economy in which high quality and economic efficiency constitute the cornerstones of exchanges.
