The aim of this paper is to prove a conjecture due to \textit{J.-L. Colliot- Thélène}, \textit{J.-J. Sansuc} and \textit{P. Swinnerton-Dyer} about weak approximation on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 4. The main result shows that, if such a surface defined over a number field has at least one point over that field, then the ``Brauer obstruction'' is the only obstruction to weak approximation.
