Environmental Requirements and Market Access for Developing Countries , Note by the UNCTAD secretariat.

IFAD has assisted the Mauritanian Government in oasis protection and environmentally sensitive development.

Globalized supply chain management plays a key role in the adjustment to new ERs. SMEs have to abide by requirements set by global supply chains or risk being phased out as input providers.

It has also analysed current and projected solid waste management requirements, including environmental protection for the capital city, Male.

Most environmental policy instruments fall broadly into two categories, namely, regulatory measures and economic instruments.

Requirements

Without these structures it will be impossible to achieve sound environmental management either through command control or economic mechanisms.

In most cases, environmental sustainability is not part of the mandate of many existing regulatory bodies, like independent regulators of privatized water and power systems.

Additional requirements

It remains a key challenge to operationalize many of the above mentioned special and differential treatment criteria in the context of ERs and market access.

Manage requirements Always keep in mind the requirements set by users.

These will include considerations in the field of environmental requirements and market access for developing countries, trade liberalization in environmental goods and services, the promotion of production and use of renewable energy, and the protection, preservation and sustainable use of traditional knowledge.

There is a misunderstanding amongst some regulators that the existence of a formally allocated IMEI number range for a GSM terminal implies that the terminal is approved or complies with regulatory requirements.

Current negotiations for disciplines on domestic regulation, particularly in respect of qualification requirements and procedures, offer an opportunity to render market access commitments effective for developing countries.
