CLDP has established a series of workshops for the Stability Pact countries, in order to enhance their understanding and implementation of the principles and measures of the SPS Agreement, and improve their coordination of implementation procedures, as well as responses to common threats. By conducting an interim meeting with the SPS Working Groups and their international expert advisors, CLDP continues to further encourage and assist the development of the working groups towards the achievement of their integral role in the better coordination of SPS measures in the Stability Pact region, thereby progressing in the removal of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) to trade and investment in the region, constituted by divergent and inefficient SPS measures.
