Experts attending the meeting will discuss recent developments in trade and transport, particularly new requirements for Customs modernization and other trade and transport facilitation measures at the regional and national levels. Industry experience shows how modernization through the adoption of improved ICT has contributed to the strengthening of the whole supply chain.
Another topic under discussion will be the need for an enabling and accommodating legal framework as well as recent efforts to formulate rules, regulations and standards which encourage and facilitate Customs modernization and the contribution this makes to efficient and secure transport and trade.
In response to the demand for ICT solutions that facilitate trade at border crossings and in ports, experts will examine available ICT tools and consider to what extent they can be introduced in developing countries and least developed countries.
To assess the roles of UNCTAD and other international agencies in cooperation with their national and regional counterparts, experts will look into the capacity-building and technical assistance requirements of countries planning to implement specific technology-based trade facilitation measures, including those related to the institutional, commercial, legal and operational environment for Customs and other operations at border crossings and ports.
