This training activity seeks to build the capacities of key stakeholders in the Dominican Republic working on TBT matters, such as government officials and staff in standardization institutions, with respect to key principles and disciplines in the WTO TBT agreement, as well as the work of the TBT Committee. Other relevant issues will be addressed, such as how to use WTO tools to better implement the TBT transparency obligations, discussions at the WTO on key environmental issues with a TBT component, and WTO jurisprudence on TBT matters. The activity may also include speakers from the Dominican Republic (officials working on TBT matters and/or private sector representatives). The training activities will include interactive discussions, group work and practical exercises.
