NOTES DE MISSION EN THAILANDE VISITE DU 6 AU 9 JUILLET 1990

H. de LIVONNIERE 6 Juillet - RRIT - Dr. Sanit - Mme Varapon 9 Juillet - Services Culturels - M. Hermann

CEC - M. A. MacDonald - M. Seri Envari Mahidol University - Miss Pranee

En Annexe I, documents préparatoires remis par M. Roudeix.

Ces notes sont complétées par les informations obtenues depuis le retour de mission.

I - INVITATIONS

MM. Chockchail et Umpol, départ le 8 Septembre de Thailande, arrivée à Paris le 9 Septembre, programme établi.

Miss Pattama, départ le 11 Novembre, arrivée le 12 Novembre, programme à établir. M. Prapun, thèse en biochimie, lui trouver une Université d'accueil puisque l'USTL est saturée pour Octobre 1991.

II - MISSIONS

Confirmer le programme du Professeur Brosse. Fax à M. Roudeix. M. Jacob propose d'effectuer une mission de 15 jours fin Novembre.

III - COOPERATION FRANCO-THAI DANS LE DOMAINE DE LA BIOCHIMIE­ PHYSIOLOGIE

. avec le RRC Hat Yai : les partenaires thaïs attendent de M. Jacob qu'il les aide à monter des programmes de recherche en tenant compte du matériel et des compétences existantes. Pourquoi ne pas associer le RRC à certains éléments du programme de recherche en physiologie ?

. avec l'Université Prince of Songkla de Pattani (PSU) : problème de la formation de M. Prapun en biochimie. La formation longue durée en France crée, après le retour en Thailande, des liens qui peuvent s'avérer fort utiles pour étendre ou renforcer notre coopération. PSU souhaite l'aide de l'IRCA pour créer un Département d'Agronomie-Physiologie; une réponse favorable à cette attente renforcerait considérablement l'influence de l'Institut dans ce secteur. Il paraît donc très souhaitable et, à long terme, payant de trouver une Université d'accueil pour M. Prapun que M. Jacob (qui reste très réservé sur cette candidature) devra rencontrer lors de sa mission.

IV - COOPERATION FRANCO-THAI DANS LE DOMAINE DE LA MANUFACTURE

Envoyer par Fax à M. Roudeix le questionnaire proposé par M. Bresson.

La partie thailandaise souhaite avoir des informations similaires sur les entreprises françaises.

Une version de ce questionnaire, aménagé en fonction du contexte local, sera envoyée à M. Bresson avant que ne commence l'enquête proprement dite avec l'aide du RRIT qui permettra la sélection d'un panel d'entreprises intéressantes.

Kent et Kalker : le signataire devra les relancer par téléphone et leur parler de la

"facilité Cheysson", prêt à taux 0% de la CEE aux entreprises qui acceptent de se délocaliser en

Asie, pour un montant égal aux prêts demandés à une banque locale agréée (Annexe II).

V - POSSIBILITES DE FINANCEMENT PAR LA CEE

La personne à voir à Bruxelles est M. Pierre Borgoltz DGl, responsable Asie et, en particulier, Thailande.

DG XII : STD II est terminé. STD III est proposé, mais pas sorti (M. Valentini). Des études sont en cours pour des financements dans le domaine de la science et de la technologie, donc de la recherche.

Le problème de la variabilité du caoutchouc naturel pourrait faire l'objet d'une demande de financement conjoint pour l'Université de Mahidol, l'IRCA, un partenaire européen (Espagne, RF A), et un autre partenaire asiatique, l'Indonésie par exemple.

Le projet "Saignée Remontante" a fait l'objet d'un financement de 2 millions d'Ecu depuis 1979, gérés par le RRIT et Harrisson Grossfield, M. MacEven, expert sur plan.

Le projet N.E. est quasiment au stade de l'appel d'offre.

Un financement pour la suite de l'opération Systèmes de Saignée 1. Besson paraît

possible.

VI - PROJET UNIDO DE LABORATOIRE DU RRIT DE BANKEN

Une dernière version du texte du projet a été remise au signataire. M. Youssef (UNIDO) en a reçu une copie par le représentant de l'UNIDO à Bangkok. L'approbation par le DIBC est imminente.

VII - COOPERATION AVEC L'UNIVERSITE DE MAHIDOL

Deux sujets d'intérêt.

Développement du caoutchouc liquide époxydé : envoyer à Miss Pranee les derniers

rapports et des échantillons.

Les sujets suivants sont proposés par ordre d'intérêt : . composites ELNR fibre de verre

. modification chimique du ELNR, greffage de molécules actives . collage PVC/NR, Nitrile NR, Chloroprène/NR

. ELNR comme plastifiant réactif.

Les deux premiers sujets ont été jugés prioritaires par le Dr. K. Suchiva. Etude des causes de variabilité du caoutchouc naturel

Le laboratoire du Département Polymères dispose des équipements suivants . mélangeur interne de 500 cm3

. 2 mélangeurs ouverts cylindre de 3x6 pouces . Monsanto Processability Test (MPT)

. Rhéomètre lOOS Monsanto

. Mooney Monsanto

. 2 presses de table 2 colonnes 20x20 cm . flexomètre De Mattia

. dynamomètre Instron 1026 . étuve Wallace de vieillissement . GPC et HPLC

. UV

. viscosimètre en solution

donc de moyens technologiques importants qui permettent de faire des recherches dans le domaine du comportement à la mise en oeuvre. Il manque une presse 40x40 et un mélangeur ouvert de taille standard.

L'Université a les moyens d'étudier certains sujets : dégradabilité en relation avec le

Breakdown Index, rhéomètre capillaire, comportement à l'extrusion, vitesse et état de vulcanisation des mélanges, résistance au vieillissement à la chaleur.

Au cours des journées des 12 (visite IRAP) et 13 Juillet (visite IRCA), les points

suivants ont été abordés avec le Dr. _{Suchiva :}

- souhait d'entretenir des relations avec l'IFOCA, apprécié comme étant le premier et sans doute le seul centre de formation aussi complet dans le domaine du caoutchouc. Le Ministère thailandais des Sciences et de la Technologie envisage de créer sur le campus de Mahidol un laboratoire "Polymères" à échéance de 2/3 ans,

- M. Istawac Vekul quitterait le Département Polymères,

- recherche conjointe sur la variabilité du caoutchouc naturel : l'étude serait faite sur

du caoutchouc RSS3 thailandais, obtenu à partir de l'usine SODECI-Euro Taisan de Suratani. L'Université de Mahidol pourrait se charger des mesures de Breakdown Index, Mooney (nouveau descripteur), rhéomètre capillaire (MPT), tandis que l'IRCA-IRAP effectueraient des mesures à l'élasticimètre et gonflement à la filière. Un partenaire européen doit être recherché pour des évaluations au mélangeur interne : équipe du Pr. Freakley à l'Université de Lobourough en Angleterre, CERISE en Italie, Institut du caoutchouc Espagnol, lNO Hollande.

VIII - OPERATION SYSTEME DE SAIGNEE DANS LE SUD

M. Hermann, adjoint de M. Deverge, Conseiller Culturel, a noté la demande d'un financement pour 6 mois (Janvier à Juin 1991) de présence de M. I. Besson en Thailande. M. Roudeix suggère d'organiser un séminaire de conclusions sur ces essais de saignée en Juin 1991 afin de décider de la suite à donner, et de rechercher un financement en conséquence. Avec le départ de M. de La _{Serve se pose toujours le problème du suivi technique de cette opération; peut­}

on envisager que M. Commère l'assure ou M. Eschbach ? IX - POSITION DES SERVICES CULTURELS

En Annexe III, une dépêche indique l'intérêt des Services Culturels pour l'opération

Sud-Thailande. Une visite en Thaïlande du signataire est prévue du 30 Septembre au 9 Octobre

1990 pour arrêter le programme de coopération 1990 et répondre à la demande de M. Deverge.

FOREWORD

The European Community (E.C.) has a long standing

tradition of cooperation with developing countries. As

it moves towards the completion of its internai

market by 1992, the E.C. is becoming a partner of

greater strategic importance for these countries.

On their side, the developing countries are

increasingly seeking international direct investment,

with the resulting transfer of technology and

know-how, and a_ccess to foreign markets. The E.C.

must, therefore, encourage ils firms to invest in those

countries where such investment is welcome.

To this end, a whole range of new tools are being

introduced, including: information, training,

standardisation, data banks and joint investment

committees.

E.C. lnvestment Partners

is the latest in the series. lt

is especially designed to support joint ventures

between E.C. firms and local firms in Latin America,

Asia or the Mediterranean. lt will help to strengthen

exisling relalionships between the E.C. and its

partners.

Claude Cheysson

INVEST.EN5

What is

E.C. lnvest1nent Partners?

E.C. lnvestment Partners

offers financial support, through

co-investment in joint ventures, to firms bath in the Europan Community (EC) and in Latin America, Asia or The

Mediterranean.

As a potential joint venture partner from either an EC state or from one of the countries listed in Appendix Il, you may apply" for financial support under the scheme.

INVEST.ENS

Your application should be made through one of the EC-approved Financial Institutions listed in Appendix Ill.

You can find out how your firrn could benefit from

_E.C.

lnvestment Partners

by reading this booklet.

E.C. /nvestment Partners orrers you flnanclal support

for several types of operation which you might

undertake during the course of an lnvestment project

ln one of the eligible countries. A brief description of

the scheme ls given below, and ils principal

features

are also summarised ln the table on page •..•

Pre-project studies:

to identify local firms and sectors which would be suitable

candidates as joint venlure partners with European investors,

to idenlify which E.C. lirms have the technology and financial

ressources for involvment in joint ventures and to bring these

two parties together.

Project-related operations:

INVE�H.ENS

for an individu al investment project to search for partners and

to support decisions before the establishment of a joint

venture firm, such as markeling and feasibility studies, setting

up pilot production units and the manufacture of prototypes.

Financing of capital requirements:

to support the setting up of a new joint venture or the

renovation and the expansion of an exisling one by financing its

capital requirements.

T1aining and manqgement expertise:

to support the setling up of new joint ventures or the

renovation and the expansion of exisling ones by providing

assistance with staff training and management: training of

local teclmicians and managers, sending a Europenn executive

to take part in the management of the joint venture, temporary

involvement of a consultant.

Who does il apply to?

Here ls a guide to who may apply for f inancial support

by each type of operation.

Pre-project studies:

only for Financial Institutions, Chambers of Commerce and

professional associations to carry out general studies. This

f acility is not open to individu al firms wishing to undertake an

investment project.

Project-related operalions:

for individu al firms who have not yet formed a joint

venture.

Financing of capital requirements:

for joint ventures established between partners from the E.C.

and from one of the eligible countries.

Training and management expertise:

for joint ventures established between partners from the E.C.

and frorn one of the eligible countries.

dralt - 5 Novernber 1988

INVEST.ENS

How is it financed?

The form of financing will depend upon the type of

operation being considered. As funds are channelled

via the Financial Institutions, as listed in Appendix

Ill, each financial agreement will be covered by a

speciric contract between the EC, the Financial

Institution and the operators concerned. Here are the

ways

ln

whlch

each type of operation

will

be financed.

Pre-project studies:

INVEST.EN5

by a non-reimbursable

gram,

given under an agreement which

authorises both the EC and the Financial Institution to use the

results of studies financed by this method.

Project-related operations:

by an

_{jnterest-free}

advance. A loan is made to the sponsor(s) of

the investment project via the Financial Institution.

The loan does not have to be repaid if the Financial Institution

proceeds no further with the project. However, the EC will be

free to use the results of the study as it sees fit.

If the investment takes place and if the Financial Institution

itself decides to fund the project resulting frorn the study

financed, the advance must either be repaid to the 'EC, or you

may apply to the EC, via the Financial Institution, to convertit

into a loan with equity features - ref erred to as an

"egujt� ..

l.Qrui" - or into an equity holding by the E.C. in the capital of the

joint venture.

Financing of capital requirements:

by either an equjty

holding

by the EC in the capital of your joint

venture, or an eguity loan by the EC to your joint venture, via

the Financial Institution.

Training and management expertise:

·'

by an !iQUily

loan

frorn the EC to your joint venture, via the

Financial Institution.

To an EC-approved Financial Institution. You can find a full list

in Appendix Ill. As this list is still growing, an updated list is

available on request from the E.C. You can find a list of

contacts in Appendix 1.

I {ow does our firm apply?

You will find a step-by-step guide of the stages involved on

page .. . of this booklet.

1-fow long does the application process take?

lt depends with each individual case, but the EC is committed

to replying to applications submitted in the correct manner

within 20 working days.

W/1at sort of Financial Institutions are involved in E.C.

/11veslment Partners?

They can be:

INVEST.ENS

- official development banks, either in EC Member States or in

the other eligible countries;

- private sector investment banl<s, either in E.C. Mernber States

or in the other eligible countries;

- or multilateral bodies.

Why is the sclleme operated through Financial Institutions?

To strearnline procedures and to benefit frorn their experience

in this field.

Why insist on 'joint ventures'?

lt's the best method of achieving the objectives of the

.

scheme:

to act as a catalyst for private investment in the countries

concerned to the mutual benefit of ail parties.

ls E.C. lnvestment Parlners something new?

This schéme is completely new to the European Community.

E.C. lnvestment Partners has been set up to complement

rather than duplicate existing f acilities for promoting

investment. Although certain facilities are already available,

there are some gaps in the market.

INVEST.ENS

What are the se gaps?

Not all EC Member States have development banks yet. Not all

development banks provide finance for projects in all areas of

the developing world. Also finance was nol available for

investment projects involving firms f rom more than one EC

State.

What is the maximum amount of financial support available to

an individual investmenl projecl?

The total financial support provided by the EC is so far limited

to Ecu 500,000 per investment project.

/s there a maximum to the EC share in the investment for a

project?

The Community will only undertake co-financing operations via

or with Financial Institutions. lts contribution will never

exceed that of the Financial Institution in question for the

financing of capital requirements and training and management

expertise.

Wlwt checl< is there on the use Ille money provided by the EC is

put to?

Whatever form the financing takes, if the use of the money

does not correspond to the purpose approved by the Community,

the funds must be repaid .
