Proposed Amendment to the ATIGA OCP to allow acceptance of electronic ATIGA CO Form D
The Meeting noted the explanation on the proposed amendments presented by the Ms. Marianne Wong Mee Wan, Chair of the Working Group on Technical Matters for the ASW (TWG). The TWG Chair explained that the amendments of the ATIGA OCP to allow acceptance of the electronic ATIGA CO Form D will be used as a basis for the ASW Pilot Project implementation in the next 6-7 months and the evaluation of the ASW Pilot Project before the realisation of the ASW by 2015.
The Meeting considered and discussed the Matrix of the draft proposed amendments of the ATIGA OCP to allow acceptance of electronic ATIGA CO Form D prepared by the ASEAN Secretariat with inputs proposed by the TWG which appears as ANNEX 12. The Meeting agreed to undertake domestic consultation on issues related to whether there is a need to have another OCP for the ASW pilot project and the initial proposed amended texts by the TWG. The Meeting agreed to discuss this issue at the next Meeting.
