1 UNIDO s Trade Standards Cmpliance Analyses and Reprts: The Case f Latin America and the Caribbean Ott Lesener - Trade Capacity Building Branch, UNIDO Ad-Hc Expert Meeting n NTM Classificatin, UNCTAD Geneva, September 28,

2 Trade Standards Cmpliance Analysis and Reprts Ratinale: Plicy guidance fr all develpment partners Benchmarking f cmpliance capacity Increasing aid efficiency, better ( smarter ) technical assistance Imprt rejectin analysis: EU, USA, Japan, Australia Exprt lsses estimatin: fr all 4 markets Quality Infrastructure (QI) survey Crprate Buyers Cmpliance Cnfidence survey Emerging Issues : TSCR 2010: FAO, ILO, IPPC, ISO, UNEP, WTO TSCR 2015: majr retailers (AEON, Mndelēz, GFSI), certificatin rganizatins (Fairtrade, MSC), NGOs (WWF, Oxfam), etc. Reginal TSCRs fr Asia (with IDE-JETRO) and Latin America and the Caribbean (with Inter-American Develpment Bank, IDB) TSC Ftprints Web tl/database (with IDB) N.2

3 Ratinale f TSC Reprts Objectives f Reprt: Prvisin f plicy guidance fr all develpment partners Mre transparency n trade standards challenges Benchmarking f cmpliance capacity Increasing aid efficiency Supprt fr infrmed develpment plicy decisin-making Better ( smarter ) design f technical assistance prgrammes Cntributin f the Reprt: Analysis f imprt rejectins Estimatin f exprt lsses Identificatin f develping cuntries ability t assess & prve cmpliance

4 Three Lenses n Trade Standards Cmpliance Capacity Twards a Trade Standards Cmpliance Observatry Buyer Cmpliance Cnfidence Radar 250 Glbal Buyers (Wrk in Prgress) Imprt Rejectin Analysis Majr markets: EU, US, Japan, Australia Trade Standards Cmpliance Benchmarking Quality Infrastructure Perfrmance Survey 49 Cuntries N.4

5 Lens 1: Imprt Rejectin Data as a Measure f Cmpliance Perfrmance Cncern that develping cuntries struggle in cmplying with fd safety and quality requirements in industrialised cuntry markets Nn-cmpliance can result in rejectin f prducts/shipments by public authrities in the imprting cuntry Such imprt rejectin data, thus, present ne indicatr f cmpliance challenges faced by agri-fd exprters t internatinal markets Imprt rejectins give indicatins n 1) the scale and rt causes f cmpliance challenges f develping cuntries, and 2) their capacity t cmply with technical regulatins in certain markets r sectrs UNIDO has rejectin data frm 4 exprt markets: Eurpean Unin, United States, Japan, Australia Different mnitring systems (by different public authrities) are nt easily cmparable and cmpatible acrss markets requires harmnizatin f datasets Varius factrs can influence level f rejectins: Nt nly cmpliance capacity (which is f particular interest here) but als Level f exprts and Frequency f inspectin by imprting cuntry authrity

6 Lens 2: Crprate Buyer Cmpliance Cnfidence Survey Aim is t get frm buying/imprting cmpanies their perceptins n and assessment f cmpliance capacity and perfrmance f exprting develping cuntries Prvides anther indicatr f cmpliance prblems faced by develping cuntries in exprt markets fr key agri-fd exprts Cmplements analysis f rejectin data by cvering: Official requirements nt enfrced thrugh brder inspectins Private standards Where trade des nt take place Examines fd safety cmpliance in cntext f ther factrs influencing exprt perfrmance Survey undertaken amng crprate buyers in exprt markets such as the Eurpean Unin, United States, Japan, Australia and Canada fr: Fish and fishery prducts (n=159) Fresh fruit and vegetables (n=196) Buyers asked fr their assessment f cmpliance capacity f selected pilt cuntries: ECOWAS + Mauritania Suth Africa

7 Lens 3: Trade Standards Cmpliance Capacity Indices Get cuntry self-assessment abut capacity/perfrmance f its Quality Infrastructure (QI) and related services Prvide measure f relative capacity in 10 key QI areas / cmpliance functins: Quality plicy/legislative envirnment Standardisatin Technical regulatins Metrlgy Accreditatin Inspectin Testing Certificatin Fd safety WTO- related institutins respective t technical regulatins/standards Fr each capacity functin, an index is develped Each index cnsists f indicatrs f the underlying assets Data cllected thrugh QI survey with respnses frm 49 cuntries in Africa and Asia
