FTAA – CONSULTATIVE GROUP ON SMALLER ECONOMIES Project title Training in the identification of technical barriers to trade Background The undertakings derived from the trade agreements adopted within the framework of the World Trade Organization (WTO); the launching of the new round of trade negotiations in Doha; the negotiations underway for the creation of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA); the free trade agreements signed with Central America and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and the other free trade agreements that may be signed with other countries in the region. Rationale One of the fundamental objectives of the Dominican Republic’s trade policy is to strengthen the country’s integration into the international economy as well as its active participation within the legal framework of the WTO and regional integration and free trade schemes. This policy and its objectives make it necessary to develop efficient policy implementation mechanisms in each of the areas involved in these processes. Objectives of the project a) General -Endow the personnel of DICOEX with the necessary capacity for analysis and implementation so that the country can take advantage of the trade agreements it has signed. -Identify the non-tariff barriers that exist in the form of procedures, regulations and norms that impede, restrict, or hamper free trade, especially those that have no scientific basis. b) Specific -Assist the export-production sector in the identification of technical barriers to trade. Inputs: resources required for the project Expected results a) Improved market access for the country’s exports Other information deemed necessary |
