| UNCTAD-VII: NORTH SHOULD HELP SOUTH PREVENT CAPITAL FLIGHT. (1542 words) |
 | The European Community Commissioner for north-south relations, Claude Cheysson, suggested Monday that industrialised countries should help arrest capital flight by helping third world countries "monitor quality of products which they by from U.S., as well as invoice where fraud is one of the main forms of capital flight". |
 | Cheysson made this suggestion in his speech to UNCTAD-VII, and later followed it up at a press conference, pointing out that "fraud", (under-invoicing exports and over-invoicing of imports) was one of the main forms of capital flight. |
 | Cheysson said that the TNCS were resisting the activities of pre-inspection of goods and invoices as by the SGS, since transfer pricing was one of the main methods used by them to maximise profits. |
