  43. 国际贸易实务 第十一章 案例: 一法国商人于某日上午走访我国外贸企业洽购某商品。我方口头发盘后，对方未置可否，当日下午法商再次来访表示无条件接受我方上午的发盘，那时，我方已获知该项商品的国际市场价格有趋涨的迹象。对此，你认为我方应如何处理为好，为什么？

  44. 国际贸易实务 第十一章 分析： 中国与法国均系《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》缔约国，洽谈过程中，双方对《公约》均未排除或作出任何保留。因此，双方当事人均应受该《公约》约束。按《公约》规定：对口头要约，须立即接受方能成立合同。据此，我方鉴于市场有趋涨迹象，可以予以拒绝或提高售价继续洽谈。

  45. 国际贸易实务 第十一章 案例 我出口企业对意大利某商人发盘限10日复到有效，9日意商人用电报通知我方接受该发盘，由于电报局传递延误，我方于11日上午才收到对方的接受通知，而我方在收到接受通知前获悉市场价格已上涨，对此，我方应如何处理？

  46. 国际贸易实务 第十一章 分析： 中国与意大利均系《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》缔约国，该案双方洽谈过程中，均未排除或作出任何保留，因此，双方当事人均应受《公约》约束。我方于11月收到意商的接交电报属因传递延误而造成的逾期接受。因此，如我方不能同意此项交易，应即复电通知对方：我方原发盘已经失效。如我方鉴于其他原因，愿按原发盘达成交易，订立合同，可回电确信，也可不予答复，予以默认。

  47. 国际贸易实务 第十一章 案例 （1）我某公司向法国一客户发盘，后者很快回复，接受，但价格降至15美圆，我方不给理睬，而是以高价卖给了其他客户，法国商人坚持合同有效。最后诉诸法律，结果怎样？ （2）我某公司向美国一客户发盘，后者很快回复，接受，但要求提供产地证明，我方不给理睬，而是以高价卖给了其他客户，商人坚持合同有效。最后诉诸法律，结果怎样？
