Addressing the session on “Trade Facilitation – Impossible without Facilitating Logistics” held in the framework of the WTO Public Forum “Trading into the Future”, IRU Head of Goods Transport and Facilitation, Peter Krausz, said, “Despite the failure of the Doha Round, trade facilitation negotiations should nonetheless be concluded, since they are on the right track and are expected to have a very positive impact on the facilitation of international logistics.”
Peter Krausz’s proposal was welcomed and supported by a panel composed of representatives from the UNECE, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA), the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), and the Global Express Association (GEA).
