Aplicación por los Miembros: informes y estudios de casos prácticos

El Grupo de Negociación sobre la Facilitación del Comercio está complementando sus actividades básicas de negociación con estudios de casos prácticos sobre la experiencia de los Miembros en relación con los costos y beneficios derivados de una mejor gestión de las fronteras. Estos estudios de casos prácticos fueron elaborados por Miembros y observadores de la OMC, a fin de intercambiar sus experiencias en la aplicación de las medidas de facilitación del comercio que actualmente se están negociando en la OMC. Los informes de asistencia técnica proporcionan información sobre los programas existentes para respaldar la aplicación de las medidas de facilitación del comercio. Desde esta página también se puede acceder a otros informes conexos.
