"The trade facilitation agreement (TFA) which was concluded at the 9th WTO Ministerial Conference in December 2013 is the first multilateral agreement since the WTO was established in 1995.
The TFA stands as an innovative agreement not only for being the first multilateral agreement on new rules to have been negotiated under the auspices of the WTO since it was created almost 20 years ago. It sets a pioneering approach by:
Allowing developing and least developed countries to categorize commitments and determine the timing of their implementation.
Linking implementation of some disciplines to the provision of technical assistance.
Calling for joint action by donor countries, development assistance providers and developing and least developed country WTO members to assist the latter in implementing some provisions of the agreement.
Incorporating an Expert Group to assess the situation in a Member once notified implementation periods have expired, and the use of the TFA Committee as a forum for the exchange of experiences and deliberation.
The Agreement pursues a ‘positive integration’ through specific practices and –instead of refraining from using certain policies – contains approximately 40 provisions for expediting the movement, release and clearance of goods."@en1
