5.3. Regional Trade Facilitation Initiatives
The Regional Trade Facilitation Initiatives encourage the promotion of cross-border free flows of goods and people’s mobility comprising of: (1) the ASEAN Integration System of Preferences (AISP) that focuses on granting unilateral free trade treatment from old members to new members (CLMV) in order to narrow down stages of development among ASEAN member countries. The time frame for implementing this scheme was from January 1, 2002 until December 31, 2009. In 2005, Thailand granted cumulative AISP to CLMV for 340, 300, 850 and 63 commodities, respectively. (2) ACMECS strives to reduce trade barriers, improves transport linkages and upgrades major border checkpoints. In 2004, Thailand implemented a contract farming initiative in order to improve livelihood conditions along the border areas with Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar by adopting unilateral free trade to exporters from CLM into Thailand including 11 agricultural products. These products can be utilized as raw materials for border industries in Thailand. (3) Through regional transport facilitation initiatives, Thailand has been extensively involved in the promotion of integrated cross-border transport facilitation efforts right from the Transport Agreement on the Carrying of Perishable Goods between Thailand and Singapore through Malaysia, which has been in effect since 1979. Thailand has already signed an ASEAN Framework Agreement on the Facilitation of Goods in Transit in 1998, and this became effective in 2000. Furthermore, a common navigation rule for facilitating transport on the Mekong river linking Yunnan province of China, Lao PDR, and Chiangrai province in the northern region of Thailand has been effective since 2001 (Ministry of Transport of Thailand 2011). By 25 March, 2013, Thailand had partially ratified the Cross-Border Transport Agreement (CBTA) aiming to promote speedy facilitation of customs and immigration procedures at the border-crossing points along the GMS corridors, thus easing out the trade flows (NESDB 2013).
