Progress in the provision of technical assistance and capacity building support:

GDCE has implemented the Best Trader Mechanism (BTIM) successfully, which is a basic platform of Authorized Economic Operators Program (AEO), since 2014. Currently, 46 Companies are accredited as the BTIM. In order to comply with Article 7.7 of the WTO-TFA and WCO SAFE, GDCE identified the need to establish AEO strategy and work plan, develop AEO regulations, establish application and accreditation process, establish AEO section, as well as to develop IT function for the program.

Under the assistance of EU-ARISE Plus Cambodia, GDCE has conducted legal, regulatory and institutional gap analysis, baseline assessment and target model for AEO and BTIM. The project also arranged private sector consultation workshop to inform public and collect feedback. Currently, AEO strategy document and action plan has been completed.

JICA has provided capacity building support through study visit in Malaysia to get more knowledge, experience, and model for the implementation of AEO. JICA promised continuing the support on capacity building in the future.
