The Agreement on Trade Related Investment Measures (TRIMs) are rules that apply to the domestic regulations a country applies to foreign investors, often as part of an industrial policy. The agreement was agreed upon by all members of the World Trade Organization. (The WTO wasn't established at that time, it was its predecessor, the GATT (General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs). The WTO came about in 1994-1995. Policies such as local content requirements and trade balancing rules that have traditionally been used to both promote the interests of domestic industries and combat restrictive business practices are now banned.

Les Mesures concernant les investissements et liées au commerce (MIC), (qui correspondent aux TRIM'S ou Trade related Investment Measures) sont des mesures de limitation imposées par les états dans le cadre de la mondialisation. Les TRIMs, qui avaient été instaurés dans le cadre de la configuration multi-nationale de la mondialisation (années 60 à 80) ont été abolis par l'Organisation mondiale du commerce, en raison de la mutation progressive vers la configuration globale, que nous connaissons actuellement.
