 orm\, as well as criteria for their substantial transformation\, such as: 
 A) Ad valorem criteria\, B) Change of tariff classification rules\, andC) 
 Specific manufacturing rules.Given the complexity of RoO and the overall l
 evel of expertise of the participants\, discussions are currently ongoing 
 with the African Union for the development of a capacity building program\
 , which will include:A) Intensive courses on drafting RoO\,B) Further te
 chnical training to support the negotiation process\,C) Drafting of a tec
 hnical manual\, D) Drafting of the guidelines for implementation. Interna
