Sur ce dernier point, le document reconnaît la nécessité de porter remède à une détérioration soudaine et significative de la situation économique d'un pays, ce qui pourrait rendre nécessaire des conditions de crédit spéciales approuvées dans le cadre d'une coordination internationale appropriée.
It should be recalled that "commercial" export credits, which are not at issue, are generally extended for much shorted periods (often less than 6 months). The EU's paper lays out proposals to address this issue both from a quantitative as well as from a qualitative point of view, while bearing in mind the special needs of developing countries. On the latter point the paper recognises the need to address sudden and significant deterioration in a nation's economy, which could necessitate special credit terms, to be agreed following appropriate international co-ordination.
