Trade Facilitation Workshop in Ukraine

-

CLDP, in collaboration with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine, conducted a workshop on the Implementation of the WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation (TFA) to support the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine and other government officials. The workshop took place in Kyiv, Ukraine and focused on the identification of required domestic legislative changes, including review, clarification and interpretation of the terminology, as well as the interagency coordination within the Working Group with the eventual objective of establishing a full-fledged National Committee on Trade Facilitation.

Over the course of three days, the participants have been involved in interactive exercises based on the international practice of implementation of the TFA and identified institutional and legislative impediments to its implementation. As a result of this workshop, participants have broadened the roadmap and specific recommendations aimed at a more effective enactment of the rules envisaged in the WTO TFA within the Ukrainian legislative and institutional environment.
