Title of the activity
APEC Workshop: Technical Barriers to Trade: Recent Trends in FTAs
Activity Type
TA by partners - Regional
Description
The APEC workshop will focus on recent trends in TBT chapters in FTAs, domestic coordination and review processes, and regulatory impact assessment in good regulatory practices (GRPs). It brings together APEC delegates from developing members directly working on TBT issues to exchange and hear the experiences from invited speakers, including delegates from developed and developing economies.
We were asked to provide specific presentations (TBT Agreement overview and committee developments) and to participate actively in all sessions, sharing relevant information. We regularly contribute to these APEC funded workshops. They are great opportunities to build capacity and knowledge on the TBT agreement and committee work in the region as well as to hear their concrete experiences and challenges.
