Le cadre juridique et administratif des plans conjoints de mise en marché des produits agricoles au Québec

Économie rurale, 1979, vol. 130

Abstract: To assure better marketing conditions for their products, the agricultural producers of Quebec and the other Canadian [Provinces have used the Marketing Joint Plan formula. It is a rather new mechanism that has been added to the other marketing systems (such as the cooperatives) at the disposal of producers, so that they can themselves exercice a better control on the marketing of their products. When a group of producers want to organize a plan, there is ordinarily a referendum held amongst all interested producers. Jt the required majority approves the proposed plan, which is in fact the charter giving the required powers, the plan binds all producers of the designated sector, being thus compulsive for the minority which has not accepted it. The plan is then administered by a Board of producers only, and it establishes the marketing conditions of the product involved by means of a collective agreement negociated with the interested persons or, if not, by compulsary and final arbitration. The Board may also fix most of these conditions by Regulations, and it can establish a central agency for the sale of the product; it can also determine production and marketing quotas. The Board must of course take into account the economic situation and the legal framework of the Federal Canadian constitution. The Producers' Board is also under the supervision of a Public Body, which must settle disputes and assure that the general interest of all the producers, the rights of intermediaries and consumers are protected.
