Uzbekistan: Facilitating the Process of Accession to the WTO
Contact
Body
Our quarterly newsletter in English, Russian and Uzbek updates beneficiaries and interested parties on the progress made in Uzbekistan's World Trade Organization accession process. The newsletter also serves businesses and women and youth groups.
The project focuses on five areas for Uzbekistan to negotiate WTO accession commitments and to put in place the mechanisms to put them into practice.
Practical assistance with draft documentation and negotiation stances is provided to support Uzbekistan’s team at the WTO negotiating table.
The legislative and executive branches are equipped to develop and manage specific regulation that ensures national laws are aligned with WTO obligations.
The project assists with developing policymakers’ understanding of the accession process and the WTO’s legal framework to create an enabling policy environment.
Institutional capacity is developed to foster practical know-how that has to be applied in specific trade-related areas, such as trade facilitation, technical barriers to trade and health and safety standards related to trade in agricultural goods, which are administered through the WTO’s sanitary and phytosanitary measures.
Lastly, the project engages the private sector in a comprehensive awareness-raising campaign to ensure that local businesses, including women’s associations, understand and can benefit from the liberalization of the business environment.
This multi-pronged approach aims to contribute to the smooth transition to, and integration of Uzbekistan into, the global economy. The process aims to create a stable and predictable policy environment that will encourage more investment, boost employment creation and stimulate the overall economic welfare of the country to the benefit of its population.
