The secretariat continued to monitor and analyse developments relating to efficient transport and trade facilitation, including multimodal transport and logistics services.

As an important element of transit transport regimes, attention would be paid to ensuring an enabling environment for multimodal transport and logistics services.

Although transportation practices and patterns have changed accordingly, the international legal framework governing multimodal transportation is lagging behind.

The development of multimodal transport and accelerated delivery services would also represent an important contribution for LDCs.

It has also undertaken gender mainstreaming activities within its capacity building programme on multimodal transport.

A question was raised as to whether draft article 89(a) would introduce exemption of liability in the non maritime legs of the carriage in case of multimodal transport.

Moreover, the working assumption is that the draft instrument would also apply to multimodal contracts that include a sea leg.

There are currently no uniform international conventions to support international multimodal transportation and it is therefore important for international and regional efforts to be made to develop a new legal instrument to govern transportation.

The least developed countries faced a worrying situation with regard to the development of multimodal transport, and challenges included the limited availability of transport equipment, precarious infrastructure, and complex and onerous administrative procedures.

The note by the secretariat (TD B COM.3 EM.22 2) discusses the design and implementation of transit arrangements in the light of new developments in the field of technology, trade facilitation, multimodal transport and transport security.

Coordination with ESCAP on joint studies and projects within the framework of the Transport and Communications Decade for Asia and the Pacific, as well as coordination of activities on the development of multimodal transport.

There is however still a need for reconciling these and other ideas into a comprehensive framework which takes account of all the available options and means of transport, including internal waterways and multimodal transport.

(e) Cooperate with other intergovernmental and non governmental organizations in their work relating to the development of international legal instruments affecting international transport and trade facilitation, including multimodal transport, as provided for in paragraphs 59 and 60 of the São Paulo Consensus.

Landlocked, transit and archipelagic countries in the Asian region faced multiple transport challenges, and the implementation of the Almaty Plan of Action and the São Paulo Consensus and the preparation of a legal framework on multimodal transport were important to them.

Cooperate with other intergovernmental and non governmental organizations in their work relating to the development of international legal instruments affecting international transport and trade facilitation, including multimodal transport, as provided for in paragraphs 59 and 60 of the São Paulo Consensus.

The estimated requirements for one expert group on a maritime hydrographic survey and natural charting for the ESCWA region and one on the development of the multimodal transport chain in Western Asia would amount to 32,900.

Activities related to maritime transport included the development of shipping services in several countries, human resource development under the TRIAINMAR programme and assistance in improving port management, and utilizing modern technologies for multimodal transport.
