The Council fully supports MINUSTAH's continuing facilitation of this process.

The experts will analyse the process of establishing national needs and priorities as regards trade facilitation.

Experts analysed the relationship between trade and transport facilitation and development, trade facilitation in the context of regional integration, private sector expectations from the WTO negotiating process, as well as implementation issues.

In particular, UNCTAD, in cooperation with other relevant international organizations, should strengthen assistance to the trade facilitation negotiations process.

Technical assistance was required not only for the implementation of agreed facilitation measures, but also during the negotiation process.

Facilitation of use

The ongoing negotiation process on trade facilitation issues at the WTO stressed the need for developing countries to receive the effective support of the international community to better assess their needs and priorities, and to table proposals on development conscious facilitation measures.

The consultative task force could be part of the support mechanisms that UNCTAD could provide for the negotiating process in the area of trade facilitation.

One of those issues was trade facilitation.

Priority three International trade and trade facilitation

During the Expert Meeting, a proposal had been made as regards the creation of a consultative task force to consider trade facilitation issues in support of the WTO negotiations process.

UNCTAD coordinated its activities in the field of trade and transport facilitation with other international organizations through the Global Facilitation Partnership (GFP).

The secretariat was also providing technical assistance to LDCs on identifying needs and priorities for trade facilitation and establishing trade facilitation platforms.

Trade facilitation would continue to play a major role in the development process, but no developing country had yet identified development needs and priorities in the context of the WTO negotiations.

He urges the authorities to demonstrate their commitment to a credible process of democratization and national reconciliation by allowing his Special Envoy to return to Myanmar to continue his facilitation efforts.
