Be guided by trade facilitation concept

According to him, the primary goal of trade facilitation is to help make trade across borders faster, and cheaper and more predictable, whilst ensuring its safety and security.Mr Butterly made the call when he facilitated a one week Trade Facilitation Implementation Guide (TFIG) training workshop for senior level managers of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders (GIFF), Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Ghana Union of Traders’ Association (GUTA), West Blue Consulting, and National Security in Accra.The workshop was organised by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in collaboration with the GRA and sponsored by West Blue Consulting under the Ghana National Single Window (GNSW) project.The participants were trained on how to use the UN Trade Facilitation Implementation Guide for Trade Facilitation (TF) reform efforts and to stimulate the sharing of best practices and the discussion of opportunities for inter-agency cooperation in the TF.
