Order the complete Niger file in French CCI ADMINISTRATOR OF LA MAISON DE L'AFRIQUE History The Niger Chamber of Commerce, created in order to ensure representation of the country's economic interests, was established during the colonial period by general order N° 2692/S.E of April 7, 1954. It was created as a replacement for the ex-Chamber of Commerce Dahomey-Niger established by general order N°1351/S.E of May 10, 1944. A decree N°67- 107/MF/AE of June 8, 1964 bearing these regulations, gave the Chamber of Commerce additional competence, namely for maintaining relations with similar organizations, regional or international economic cooperation organizations of which The Republic of Niger is a member, or is associated with. This decree was modified by decree N°67-138/MAECI of September 7, 1967, bearing a reorganization of the Chamber of Commerce and creating within the Chamber a Permanent Commission. A new modification by decree N°77-60/MAECI of April 29, 1977 extended the coverage of the Chamber of Commerce, Agriculture and Industry to Crafts. It is a legal entity and acts as a publicly-owned establishment. In order to confer greater autonomy to the Chamber of Commerce, Agriculture, Industry and Crafts of Niger, to render economic operators more professional, and to ensure greater national coverage, the law N°95-017 of December 8, 1995 institutes a category of publicly-owned establishments for professional matters. Thus the law N°95-018 of December 8, 1995 restated the Chamber of Commerce, Agriculture, Industry and Crafts into a Publicly-Owned Establishment for Professional Matters. In addition, decree N°77-60/MAECI of April 29, 1977 was abrogated by decree N°96-293/PRN/MCI of September 5, 1996. The current statutes of the consular establishment have been elaborated and adopted by the National Consular Parliament, and submitted to the government for approval. The Chamber of Commerce, Agriculture, Industry and Crafts of Niger falls within the technical supervision of the Ministry of Commerce and the financial supervision of the Ministry of Finance.
