It is felt by the Bureau that the Working Party should open a discussion on future policy and strategy. Therefore, the Chairman of the Working Party has taken the initiative of preparing this paper in consultation with the Bureau and experienced delegates. This paper will be deliberated at the meeting of Heads of Delegation on Monday, 20 September 1993 at lO:00 hr. The Bureau wishes to emphasize the importance of these questions and encourages delegations to contribute their oral or written opinions to the discussion of this priority matter.  q3 4 THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRADE FACILITATION  p4@ 4 2.Trade facilitation has developed through different phases. In the beginning, WP.4's activities concentrated on the simplification and standardization of documents. The second phase dealt with data interchange among partners in international trade transactions, regardless of whether data was carried on paper or electronically. Parallel to the development of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), facilitation work continued in the field of international trade procedures and trade documents. The third phase represents the evolution from the idea of Guidelines for Trade Data Interchange (GTDI) to United Nations Electronic Data Interchange for Administration Commerce and Transport (UN/EDIFACT). During the fourth phase, where we find ourselves today, it has become clear that EDI development and implementation is not confined to trade but has enormous potential to penetrate practically all sectors of modern society.  p443.The work within GE.1 and GE.2 is closely related. It is recognized that EDI can not be developed in isolation because it is based on the functional requirements of the area where it is being implemented. Thus the constant review of how international trade procedures are translated into functional requirements, whether on paper or electronic format is crucial to the success of WP.4. The two techniques (EDI and paper documents) serve the same purpose: to create the information flows that make a commercial transaction possible. Facilitation of trade procedures is carried out through the study of information flows, independent of the data carrier.  p444.WP.4 is a body with a number of major achievements the UN Layout Key (UNLK), the Recommendations and UN/EDIFACT, to name but a few. It has also developed, through the contributions of its delegations, a substantial body of expertise and knowledge. Today, it is realized that the activity of Trade Facilitation has strategic importance because it includes: finding  p4t"4the best business practice, redefining the business process, increasing the efficiency of administrations and opening new markets for international trade.  p4%4"%*&&  G/"  q34 THE NEED FOR CHANGE  p445.The external environment in which WP.4 operates has changed over the last ten years and, in general, this change has been favourable. The globalization of markets has produced a situation in which the concepts and tools of Trade Facilitation should be readily appreciated. That Trade Facilitation is not widely appreciated, understood or implemented is linked to a general lack of awareness. In addition Trade Facilitation is frequently perceived as a detailed, technical subject that lacks a clear vision of what it is trying to achieve. That perception needs to change radically if we are to optimize the impact of the expertise and knowledge at our disposal.  p4 46.In the eyes of many WP.4 members the work has, for some years, been driven by the technical detail produced by its two Groups of Experts (particularly GE.1) with, as a result, WP.4 having been transformed from a policy to a rubberstamping body. Attention to the technical detail is very important, and will always remain a fundamental part of our work, but technical expertise cannot be a substitute for policy decision. WP.4 has become a working party whose driving force is bottomup and not topdown.  p447.The formulation of policies and objectives is a dynamic process that needs to be reviewed regularly in order not to become obsolete. This process is not currently taking place, in an effective manner, in WP.4.  q3$4 The reengineering process  p448.For the above reasons the WP.4 Bureau now believes that a process should be started in order to establish new objectives and new policies for WP.4. Basically, we need to change WP.4 from an inward looking body driven by detail, to an outward looking body driven by vision, strategy and effective policies. This change needs to be carefully planned so that it can be brought about one step at a time in order not to disrupt or dilute  p4D4important technical work. Within this paper we refer to the development and implementation of these step by step changes as the "Reengineering process".  q3T4 AREAS TO BE REVIEWED  q34 WP.4 objectives  p4( 49.Often, the need for a new policy arises as the result of technological change or a change in the environment of an organization. In the case of WP.4, changes have occurred in the way international business is performed, but above all, there has been a shift in technology making the development of EDI possible. WP.4 has responded in a positive and proactive way to these changes and is now playing a leading role in the field of trade facilitation and EDI. This is an achievement that renders credit to past and present members of the Working Party. However, it is felt that due to"%*&&  G/" rapid technological developments the Working Party's objectives and policy are no longer synchronized with its activities. In other words, it is believed that technological requirements of the development process, and not an explicit policy, are governing the direction of the Working Party.  p4410.The Bureau believes this to be an unsatisfactory situation. It is essential that the direction and activities of the Working Party be governed by explicit objectives and policies and not by ad hoc decisions based upon technological developments. Thus, objectives (i.e, mission statements) need to be clearly spelled out and the policy of the Working Party with regard to different areas of activity need to be defined. This process should end with the adoption of a revised work programme based on the new objectives.  p4 411.As a first step in this process, the Bureau has received comments on future policy from several delegations. A mission statement has also been suggested for consideration in the secretariat document Trade/WP.4/R.946 (Plan for the development of Trade Facilitation) and reads as follows:  q34 12.By means of modern trade facilitation techniques: to increase efficiency of information processing, improve business practices and reduce transaction costs.  q34 Relations with other organizations  p4$4  p4413.One important area where the Working Party needs to develop policy is relations with other international bodies involved in trade and business, particularly in standard setting and implementation work. What role should the WP.4 play in relation to other standard setting and trade bodies? What role should WP.4 play in relation to other bodies implementing recommendations and standards? What is the relation of WP.4 to bodies utilizing the UN recommendations as input to their own activities?  p4414.An important input to the discussion on how WP.4 should relate to other standard setting bodies is found in the Report of the InterAgency Working Group for Coordinated Open edi Standards Development (IAeG) developed jointly by IEC, ISO, ITUTS and UN/ECE. This report stresses the need for coordinated standards development and different areas of activity are mapped. The division of responsibilities between the agencies must be considered carefully and agreed upon. However, without preempting future decisions it is the opinion of the Bureau that, in the context of openedi, the UN/ECE/WP.4 is responsible for the development of EDI messages. Further, the report suggests that a cooperation agreement between the different agencies be concluded and WP.4 has already taken an important initiative with ISO and IEC in this respect through the development of a draft text for a memorandum of understanding (see Trade/WP.4/R.989). "$*&&  P."  p4415.The Bureau believes that it is important to strengthen the cooperation  p44with other organizations in the area of trade procedures. The work of GATT in the field of procedures and barriers to trade is of special interest to WP.4. In this field, the UN/ECE recommendations should complement those of GATT.  p4416.The Customs Cooperation Council (CCC) and The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) with which WP.4 has had a long history of cooperation are organizations issuing recommendations. It is important that this cooperation be maintained and strengthened.  p4l417.In its legal work programme WP.4 is cooperating with UNCITRAL. The legal work programme must be well coordinated with UNCITRAL so that all the legal questions related to procedures, documents and UN/EDIFACT are covered, and work is not duplicated.  p4@ 418.The relationship with bodies implementing standards such as UNCTAD needs to be clarified. To what extent should WP.4 engage itself with promotion and implementation activities in, and outside, the UN/ECE region? How can WP.4 assist countries in transition in their efforts to introduce modern trade facilitation techniques?  p4419.The European Economic Community (EEC), The European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) are  p4$4examples of regional organizations which utilize the outcome of WP.4 work for regional implementation. These organizations demand predictability and stability in the work of WP.4 so that their scheduled implementation plans are not disrupted.  q34 WP.4 terms of reference  p4420.The terms of reference of WP.4, GE.1 and GE.2 were adopted in 1971 1972 by the Committee on the Development of Trade (reproduced as appendix X of Trade/WP.4/R.839, Report by the EDIFACT Standards Development Group). The question has been raised as to whether the terms of reference should be revised in order to better reflect the widened field of work that the Working Party is engaged in now. The Bureau is aware that the terms of reference do not exactly reflect today's activities, but at the same time,  p44the Bureau believes that they do not prevent the Working Party from continuing with its current work. However, the Bureau is also of the opinion that once the Reengineering process of the Working Party has been finalized the terms of reference should also be revised.  q3!4 Organization of work  p48#421.The success of UN recommendations and UN/EDIFACT has created a high demand from users for WP.4 deliverables. The Working Party has issued 23 Recommendations. The updating of these Recommendations is an important task that needs to be carefully organized. Future work regarding the functional"%*&&  G/" analysis of procedures and documentation should be organized to enable the use of modelling tools. It is also critical that an effective coordination of the work between GE.1 and GE.2 be ensured. The number of UN/EDIFACT messages has increased far more than expected and users need to have regularly published UN/EDIFACT directories. Alone, the UN/ECE/WP.4 secretariat cannot provide all the resources needed, fortunately the Rapporteurs and the different regions assist the process with additional resources. However, there is a need for improved coordination in order to ensure that everyone's resources are put to the best use. Within this context, there is a need for new UN/EDIFACT procedures and the EDIFACT Steering Group (ESG) is currently preparing a proposal to be discussed by the Working Party. Nonetheless it is already clear that future procedures must be based on an automated exchange of data, utilizing UN/EDIFACT messages, between the regions and the WP.4 secretariat. The rapid finalization of new procedures should be given high priority.  q3@ 4 Modelling  p4 422.Experts within both GE.1 and GE.2 have proposed that future work be based to a great extent, on modelling tools. This seems to be a powerful way to analyze the functions in international trade transactions as well as the requirements for message development. When designing future WP.4 procedures these aspects should be taken into account and appropriate  p44coordination and cooperation established between GE.1 and GE.2 in this work area. In addition, the technical integration of these methods into UN/EDIFACT and procedural work needs to be carefully planned.  q34 Awareness policy  p44423.It is the opinion of many WP.4 delegates and users that WP.4 and its Groups of Experts have concentrated their efforts on technical matters and have not paid enough attention to ways and means of ensuring that the results of WP.4 work are disseminated to prospective end users. The Working Party needs to address this problem and create a consistent information and awareness policy. Naturally, dissemination of information is an important activity for the UN/ECE/WP.4 secretariat, but due to limited resources it is also important that the different regions must play an active role to promote and disseminate information in their respective regions. Special emphasis should be placed on awareness assistance to countries in transition and other regions with limited internal resources.  q3d4 The UN/ECE/WP.4 within the United Nations  p4 424.The Secretary General of the United Nations has expressed a wish to strengthen the role of the regional commissions in the economic and social fields. This is to be done through the decentralization of activities and responsibilities which are best carried out at the regional level. The work to facilitate international trade procedures has proven to be very successfully carried out by the UN/ECE/WP.4. The quality of work and the progress made by WP.4 have been recognized earlier within the United"%*&&  G/" Nations by ECOSOC. Other UN regional commissions have expressed their interest in promoting and implementing modern trade facilitation techniques in their respective regions. It is important that these efforts be supported in a coordinated and effective manner.`  p4425.The Bureau has received several comments regarding the status of WP.4 within the UN/ECE. It is felt that the work of WP.4 as a priority sector should be better integrated and represented in the work of the ECE Commission.  p4426.WP.4 is reporting to the Committee on the Development of Trade. In 1993 its Chairman was also invited to address directly the annual session of the ECE Commission. The Bureau feels it is important that the ECE Commission is informed about its activities but at the same time the role of WP.4 within the Committee on the Development of Trade should be reinforced. At the annual session of the ECE in April 1993 "several delegations proposed for consideration that the status of WP.4 be changed so that it could report directly to the Commission". The issue will be raised at the December session of The Committee on the Development of Trade. At that meeting, a Round Table on Trade Facilitation matters will also take place. The Working Party should, during the September 1993 Session, discuss what direction it wants to take.  q34 SUMMARY  p4$4 27.The history of WP.4 is a success story showing that dedicated experts from government and the private sector can produce viable recommendations that are critical to modern trade. It is needless to stress that the topics falling under the auspices of our work are today more important than ever. It is now time to evaluate past successes, current issues and future direction. The Bureau is looking forward to a dialogue on the above items and encourages delegations to comment and to submit input to this discussion and the entire reengineering process.  p4428.To continue this transformation process the Bureau suggests that a plan for change be elaborated. This plan should outline the different steps in the reengineering process and indicate a timeschedule. Further, different work groups should be established and their responsibilities identified. "*&&  &"  p4429.The questions presented above represent those areas where the Bureau feels it is vital that the Working Party develop explicit objectives and policies. However, in this short paper it has not been possible, in detail, to cover all aspects of the different issues. The Bureau therefore recommends that the following documents be consulted in order to obtain a fuller picture of the issues.
