In our work, we will limit ourselves mainly to the institutional and normative aspects of OHADA. The comparison will be made only with the European Union for the reasons we have already mentioned. As far as the uniform acts are concerned, only two uniform acts will receive our attention, namely the one relating to the law of securities and the one relating to company law. Finally, on the question of normative integration, we will briefly analyze the "how" of its realization without dwelling on the "why", because the decision to carry out a normative integration is an eminently political decision and it is not up to us to discuss its merits in the framework of our work. The political debate underlying normative integration will be addressed only incidentally. Similarly, our discussion will focus on Congolese law, with other rights being addressed only incidentally.
