Après une description du Federal Agriculture Improve and Reform Act of 1996, cette contribution propose quelques prévisions quant à ses conséquences sur la production et les exportations des États-Unis, et donc sur les prix mondiaux. Cette loi va sans doute accroître la pression sur l'agriculture européenne, et rendre nécessaire une réforme de certaines organisations communes de marchés, en particulier pour les oléagineux, le porc et les volailles. Après un bref rappel historique des débats entre l'Union européenne et les États-Unis, cette loi est décrite comme un point de départ possible pour une stratégie de négociation de la part des États-Unis. Le texte traite ensuite des réponses possibles à cette loi de la part de l'Union, dans la perspective d'un nouveau cycle de négociations commerciales multilatérales. Ces réponses pourraient prendre la forme d'une réorganisation radicale du soutien public accordé à l'agriculture.

Background: Exercising during pregnancy can provide physical and mental health benefits for expectant mothers. Purpose: To assess healthcare providers' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding exercise during pregnancy in hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample comprised (142) healthcare providers who work in four public hospitals in the southern region of Jordan. Descriptive analysis and inferential statistics were used to answer the research questions. Results: The results showed that some of the participants (39.4%) were familiar with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines for exercise during pregnancy, while the majority of participants were knowledgeable about the benefits of exercise during pregnancy. Healthcare providers' attitudes were positive. Regarding the level of practice, the findings showed that approximately 50.7% of the participants provided advice about exercise. Demographic characteristics had no significant correlation with healthcare providers' attitudes. Conclusion: Although healthcare providers' attitudes towards exercise during pregnancy were positive, not everyone knew of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' guidelines. Implications for Nursing: Healthcare Providers should undertake workshops and lectures and then highlight the need to practice exercise during pregnancy, also they should start by making a full and comprehensive assessment of the pregnant woman and then provide appropriate advice as advocated by the WHO and ACOG guidelines. Educational programmes, booklets and pamphlets should be available for free in all the hospitals and maternal healthcare centres to increase awareness among women in the community.
