The NTFB may create Expert Groups tasked with considering individual issues and proposing solutions for trade facilitation; remove barriers to trade; streamline and modernize customs procedures and import, export, and transit controls; simplify processes and eliminate red tape. These groups will ensure that interested members of the business community are able to actively participate in the NTFB’s deliberations.

STRUCTURE OF THE NTFB

I – EXPERT GROUP ON AGRICULTURE AND SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES

The Expert Group on Agriculture and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures is tasked with considering issues and proposing initiatives designed for promotion and trade facilitation in agricultural produce and food products. In doing so, it ensures that veterinary, sanitary, and phytosanitary measures are introduced and applied so as to avoid unduly burdening businesses while ensuring appropriate protection of human, plant, and animal health, as well as that technical regulations, standards, and conformity assessment procedures are enacted and implemented without constituting unnecessary obstacles to trade in these products.

The Expert Group on Agriculture and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures is chaired by a representative of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management.
