The Government of Georgia committed to establishing an efficient transit transport system for its landlocked neighbours.

(a) There is a need to develop a tracking system of ODS to monitor goods in transit

1. Notes with appreciation the contribution of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development to improving the efficiency of the transit transport system in the landlocked States in Central Asia and their transit developing neighbours

Synergy and coordination are crucial in order to maximize the benefits to be derived by landlocked and transit developing countries from technical assistance provided by the United Nations system organizations and other relevant institutions in transit transport.

The High Representative underlined that the development of indicators was extremely important to monitor the progress in establishing efficient transit transport system.

ESCAP presented its methodology based on cost and time in order to measure the progress for establishing an efficient transit transport system.

An efficient transit transport system could be established through genuine partnerships between landlocked and transit developing countries and their developing partners at the national, bilateral, subregional, regional and global levels, as well as through partnership between the public and private sectors.

Measures to improve the transit transport system included renovation of the transport fleet, development of transit roads, promotion of road safety, simplification of documentation and regulations, development and completion of border terminals and active participation in international and regional cooperative schemes.

During the past year, agencies of the United Nations system strengthened their partnership to implement the Almaty Programme of Action Addressing the Needs of Landlocked Developing Countries within a New Global Framework for Transit Transport Cooperation for Landlocked and Transit Developing Countries.

The United Nations system organizations should intensify their efforts to articulate an internationally acceptable methodology to measure the progress in establishing efficient transit transport systems.

It was noted that future work with transit countries was envisaged regarding technical assistance on the implementation of transit arrangements and regarding a project on transit corridors.

Furthermore, regional and subregional cooperative arrangements, backed by international support, could enhance the development of energy corridors, an efficient transit transport system and increased regional trade turnover.

In the area of transit, the Expert Meeting on Design and Implementation of Transit Transport Arrangements had come forward with valuable practical suggestions for the improvement of transit arrangements.

Recognizing also that cooperation between transit countries and landlocked developing countries results in better transit transport systems,

Pragmatic steps to improve transit transport arrangements needed to involve all major players involved in transit trade.

Also, transit developing countries need technical and financial assistance in the development of their transit transport infrastructure facilities.

Special attention should be paid to the improvement of transit arrangements for the landlocked and transit developing countries.

Production Export Import Transit Retransfer.

If transit is permitted, all prior procedures before the transit remain the same as that of import and export.

Improvements and reforms of transit regimes could start out with an initial investment which then induced a virtuous cycle, where more transit trade encouraged more investment, which in turn facilitated further transit trade.

The proposed new transit system was an exclusively political undertaking that envisaged the construction of a new and costly infrastructure instead of revitalizing the current infrastructure at almost no cost.

UNCTAD prepared the terms of reference for a feasibility study to implement the Road Tracker system in transit road corridors of West Africa at the request of the UEMOA Secretariat.

Calls upon the land locked countries, their transit neighbours and donor counties to implement measures to strengthen further their cooperative and collaborative efforts in dealing with the transit problems in accordance with the Global Framework for Transit Transport Cooperation between Land locked and Transit Developing Countries and Donor Countries.

With regard to the import, export and transit of firearms, the Transit Department, which is placed under the Customs Authority, is charged with completing the steps to be taken for the transit of goods.

Priority one Fundamental transit policy issues

Landlocked and transit developing countries continued to benefit from the Automated System for Customs Data (ASYCUDA) programme of UNCTAD designed to speed up customs procedures through the use of information technology.

Transit services should be further liberalized to encourage competition. Transit rules and regulations should be simplified, harmonized, streamlined and made transparent.

The establishment of efficient transit transport systems requires closer and more effective cooperation and collaboration between landlocked and transit developing countries.

Most transit developing countries were in no position to offer efficient transport systems to which their landlocked transit neighbours might link themselves.

The Bank also provided assistance to the updating of the Northern Corridor Transit Agreement, including the Northern Corridor Transit Transport Coordination Authority.

Transit is a big driver of retrofits.
