Abstract
This publication brings together the main research outputs produced by the Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade (ARTNeT), and its members and partners, between April 2006 and January 2007. The first chapter introduces the concept of trade facilitation beyond the ongoing multilateral trade negotiations, and it serves both as an introduction and a synthesis of the studies presented in the remaining chapters. Chapters II and III provide an analysis of regional trade facilitation initiatives and the link between trade facilitation and preferential trade agreements (PTAs). Chapter IV is dedicated to rules of origin in PTAs, whose complexity and lack of harmonization across a growing number of overlapping agreements in the Asia-Pacific region is seen as an increasingly significant impediment to trade. Chapters V and VI focus on customs valuation in developing countries, an issue that remains of key concern among importers and exporters but which is not part of the ongoing WTO negotiations on trade facilitation. These chapters are complemented by chapter VII, which provides a comparative analysis of the broader trade facilitation needs of Fiji and a selection of Asian developing countries, building on earlier work of the network. Chapters VIII and IX provide a broader perspective of trade facilitation. chapter X provides recommendations on arriving at a meaningful multilateral agreement on trade facilitation.
