9 Key Actions Required to create the common market - NTBs Customs importation procedures and other regulatory matters (e.g. SPS, TBT) should apply at first point of entry into the common space but not for intra-oecs trade TBT & SPS reform would be supported by harmonization and mutual recognition (with provision for exceptions) 26
