Reducing Trading Cost in new Era of Security

• Security measures may drive up costs (delays,
  spoilage, investments..)
• Cost/benefit assessment needed
• Needs to be combined with streamlined
  procedures/advance data transfer
• Difficult for developing countries (flexibility)

GEP Conclusions

• A coordinated approach is required
• Across modes/supply chain (WCO/UNECE)
• Across countries
• Between public and private partners (STAR, BASC,
  CTPAT)
• Share information on activities to cut
  duplication
• Share costs to ensure long term approach
• More technical assistance required
• Definition of high-risk areas (least trade
  distortion/max benefits)
