[1] Building on the discussions during this
first review of the operation and implementation of the Trade Facilitation
Agreement, and with a view to furthering its work in regard to Section II of
the TFA, the Committee:
vi. recommends that Members whose
implementation dates have passed for their category B or C provisions, and on a
voluntary basis and for informational purposes only: (i) confirm the passing of
implementation dates in any form or reporting (orally or in writing); and/or
(ii) share their implementation experiences with the Committee while explicitly
mentioning the provision they have implemented. Category B and Category C
provisions shall be implemented on the definitive dates as notified by Members
as per Article 16.5 of the Agreement. The Committee could encourage
those Members who have implemented category B provisions in particular to take
the actions above. It should be noted that this proposal never intends to
modify the Members' obligations under the TFA.
