Took note of the presentation by New Zealand on the status of SAFE FoS
implementation. In the ensuing discussion on ways of enhancing its implementation,
delegates felt that there is no need for making SAFE a more obligatory WCO
convention at this stage, as the SAFE FoS provide a flexible approach to
implementation, a working review mechanism and many members are already at
various stages of implementation. However, the SWG recognized the need for
ensuring results in the global implementation of the SAFE FoS and exploring further
ways of performance measurement in this respect.
