ANNEX 3. MAIN ACTIVITIES AND DECISIONS OF THE TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP 1) The Technical Working Group (TWG), chaired by Mr. Wahid as one of vice-chairs in the absence of the chair, started with review of progress made in delivering TWG tasks so far. The secretariat introduced overall progress of TWG tasks. The TWG decided to collectively review all the draft documents developed so far for better understanding of them on the first day, before breaking into three subgroups on the second day. 2) In the morning session of the second day, the TWG broke into three subgroups under the coordination of three vice-chairs (Mr. Anikin, Mr. Kim and Mr. Wahid). Each subgroup focused on tasks to be coordinated by respective vice-chairs. For the task of developing a technical gap checklist (under coordination by the absent vice-chair), Mr. Wahid volunteered to work on the task under his subgroup. In the afternoon session of the second day, the TWG convened together and invited vicechairs to report outcomes of each subgroup for detailed discussion. 3) Subgroup 1 under the coordination of Mr. Anikin worked on mutual recognition requirements. In this connection, Russian group of experts shared their initial contribution, two draft documents titled Legal Aspects of Improving the Transboundary Trust Environment Between the Member States of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN ESCAP) and The definition of the criteria concerning the requirements to offer a substantially equivalent level of reliability of trade-related data in electronic form, with members of the TWG. Russian group of experts requested members of the TWG to review the two documents and share any comments or feedback by the end of April 2016. In developing a common approach to mutual recognition mechanism, in particular developing model memorandum of understanding or service level agreement, the TWG would start with collecting and analyzing existing samples from the ESCAP member States. In this connection, China and Republic of Korea agreed to share their examples by the end of April 2016 4) Subgroup 2 under the coordination of Mr. Kim worked on development of three technical guides [(1) Guide on how to develop or upgrade paperless trade systems consistently with the general principles, (2) Guide to help facilitate concurrent implementation of national and cross-border paperless trade systems, and (3) Different implementation options/mechanisms for paperless trade systems in an interoperable manner] based on a study report produced by a regional expert. The TWG decided to

merge guides (2) and (3) by making the guide (3) an annex to the guide (2), in consideration of relatively small scope of the guide (3) and its relevance to the guide (2). Upon receiving initial draft from Mr. Kim, members of the TWG would share their comments by the end of April 2016. Subgroup 2 also discussed further improving the template for cross-border paperless trade reference map; members of the TWG would be requested to review and make comments by the end of April 2016, upon receiving the further revised template. 5) Subgroup 3 under the coordination of Mr. Wahid worked on three tasks: international standards implementation strategy, technical gap checklist and template for collective and individual action plan. The TWG decided to change the title of the document as international standards implementation framework and keep annexes on relevant international standards and standard bodies as references; the TWG also decided to start filling annexes with relevant standards and standard bodies, including the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The TWG found the draft technical gap checklist quite comprehensive and decided to proceed with fine-ting of the document for further improvement. For the development of template for action plan, the TWG reviewed one example of individual action plan for paperless trade in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and decided to start with collecting country examples for analysis; the members of the TWG were requested to share their national action plan examples by the end of April 2016. 6) For the capacity building strategy, Mr. Kim (one of vice-chairs) shared ROK Customs national approach by introducing its capacity building programme. China expressed its willingness to contribute to development of capacity building strategy and programmes. 7) For future work plan, the TWG decided to continue its tasks through virtual interaction using group mail and monthly virtual meeting. In this connection, the secretariat was requested to set tentative schedule for monthly virtual meeting and circulate it to members of the TWG. The secretariat was also requested to prepare a guide on usage of group mail and TWG webpage for the benefit of TWG members. In addition, the secretariat was requested to set tentative timeline for each task and specify which task was linked to each draft document. 8) Regarding report of its progress in the week to the second meeting of the Steering Group, The TWG decided to update progress status in the table in Section Ⅲ of the Steering Group meeting document titled Preparation of a draft road map for the implementation of substantive provisions in the draft

text of the regional arrangement for the facilitation of cross-border paperless trade (E/ESCAP/PTA/IISG(2)/3) 2. 9) Mr. Wahid, as the interim chair, closed the meeting by thanking all the participating members of the TWG and delegates. 2 See http://www.unescap.org/sites/default/files/pre-ods/eptaiisg2_3e.pdf
