In domestic trade, the embargo has increased costs by 66.8 million, mostly as a result of using middlemen for shipping and purchases.

Concerning the recently initiated negotiations on trade facilitation issues at the World Trade Organization, developing countries needed the support of the international community to better identify their related needs and priorities, and to estimate the costs of implementation of specific facilitation measures.

Further support from development partners was necessary in providing assistance for mitigating costs associated with trade reform and liberalization, as well as for building the trade competitiveness of Arab developing countries.

For the North, it would be suicide for the South, with its vibrant economy and widening free trade agreements, the opportunity cost would be particularly high.

Conversely, inappropriate regulations can create significant barriers to trade and investment, including by adding additional and unnecessary costs.

Experts encompass costs of experts' travel, participation in meetings and work on reviews.

The costs of preference erosion, possible increases in food prices and the streamlining of food aid following agricultural trade liberalization and reform need to be cushioned through adequate adjustment support to concerned developing countries.
