National trade-facilitation committees, differ from PRO-committees and NTTFCs in that they were created for the
purpose of complying with regional or bilateral trade agreements. Governments opted to create national tradefacilitation
committees as collaborative platforms to streamline trade procedures and implement trade-facilitation
measures at national level as agreed in the referred agreements. From a development level and geographical
perspective, the study did not reveal any strong correlation between national trade-facilitation committees and
particular regions or levels of development.
