The Plan of Action urges the coastal countries to take all the necessary measures to facilitate the transit traffic of their land locked neighbours.

In that regard, we, the Group of Landlocked Developing Countries, request that that specific and urgent need of landlocked developing countries be given due attention and consideration.

The Doha round should reflect the particular needs of landlocked developing countries as outlined in the Asunción Platform adopted by the trade ministers of the landlocked developing countries in Paraguay.

That being the case, I should like to reiterate that all States, whether coastal or land locked, have a common interest in the oceans and their resources.

That element is of particular importance, as landlocked developing countries face additional border crossings, which increase transaction costs and discourage trade. Efficient trade facilitating measures would go a long way towards tackling the high trade transaction costs borne by the landlocked developing countries because of their geographical handicaps.
