The eighth meeting of the National Trade Facilitation Committee (Inter-Institutional Group on Trade Policy Co-ordination and Trade Facilitation) was held on 17.07.2019. The meeting was attended by 24 people, members of the National Trade Facilitation Committee and representatives of the business community.
The meeting began with the opening speech by Mrs. Belinda Ikonomi, Vice. Minister of Finance and Economy, who expressed appreciation for NTFC members as an integral part of this Committee, whose existence has given a significant impetus to trade facilitation, not just as a mechanism stemming from our membership in The World Trade Organization, but also as a platform that enables internal coordination on trade issues and facilitates the implementation of economic policies affecting operators part of the supply chain.
As reported, the role of this committee for this year has been of dual importance, as the Ministry of Finance and Economy has been directing the Central European Free Trade Agreement since January 2019 and the involved committees in facilitating trade in goods, Non-Tariff Barriers and Trade in Services.
