WCO/KRA session
Trade Facilitation - Borders Divide, Customs Connects
The Tenth WTO Ministerial Conference is a good opportunity to take stock of the work undertaken collectively by the World Customs Organization, its membership and partners in terms of support for implementation of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) concluded at the Ninth WTO Ministerial Conference in December 2013. After two years, it is a good opportunity to look back and acknowledge the achievements made and the tools available for TFA implementation, to identify common challenges and to reaffirm commitment for full implementation in the future.
