NTM survey overview
Following a request of the Thailand Ministry of Commerce (Department of Trade Negotiations), the ITC survey on non-tariff measures in Thailand was conducted over a period of one year between August 2013 and July 2014. A total of 1,067 companies, from all sectors except minerals, petroleum and arms, were interviewed. The Bangkok-based company Rapid Asia Co., Ltd., implemented the survey on behalf of and under the guidance of ITC.
The survey aims to provide a better understanding of the trade obstacles experienced by Thai companies and to identify potential bottlenecks related to trade procedures and cross-border operations. This information will assist both the private sector and government in creating an enabling environment for private-sector development and improved export competitiveness for Thailand and the region.
Stakeholder meeting on NTMs in Bangkok, Thailand
Representatives of the Thai public agencies and the business community will come together in Bangkok on 29 October 2014 in a high-level meeting to discuss ways to overcome trade impediments faced by Thai exporters and importers.
The meeting marks an important milestone of a project which aims at identifying existing non-tariff barriers impacting the competitiveness of Thai companies in the international market.
Discussions during the event will be based upon the results of the large-scale survey carried out as part of the project, which found compliance with technical regulations to be one of the main problems faced by Thai companies. The insights and recommendations of the meeting will be incorporated in the final NTM country report on Thailand, which will be published as part of the ITC series on NTMs.
The event will be held at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) headquarters.
