The Conference discussed a number of models for cooperation between civil aviation and customs authorities, and called on States to intensify regional and national cooperation between authorities. Solutions agreed to include the coordinated implementation of risk-based and outcomes-focused international air cargo and mail security measures, adaptable to local circumstances.
The Conference also supported the streamlining of global supply chain documentation and processes to benefit both security and facilitation objectives. It welcomed some promising ‘e-freight’ and ‘single-window’ initiatives in this regard, and considered that advance cargo information, by contributing to risk assessments for cargo and mail, could assist in applying timely and appropriate security controls earlier in the supply chain.
