  3. TBG’s Mandate (Summary) • The purpose of the TBG is to be responsible for the simplification of international trade procedures, business and governmental process analysis, and best practices, using the UN/CEFACT Modelling Methodology, where appropriate, to support the development of trade facilitation & e-Business solutions. (TRADE/CEFACT/2004/11/Add.4)

Progress in Trade Facilitation • A draft UNECE Recommendation & Guidelines on the Single Window • A revised UNECE Recommendation 12 - Measures to Facilitate Maritime Transport Documents Procedures (a very constructive joint meeting took place at the Bonn Forum) • A Benchmarking concept paper • e-CERT Project launched during the Bonn Forum

  5. Progress in Modelling Business Processes • TBG Business Domain Groups (TBG1-13) are modelling their industry specific business processes using facilitators and modellers who are either, in-house trained, or, provided by interested parties or organisations (SWIFT, EAN etc). A number of joint and intersectorial projects are running. • TBG14’s Catalog of Common Business Processes due to go out for public review • TBG 15 is being helped by TBG 14 on two projects, the International Trade Facilitation & International Trade Facilitation and Security Models

  8. Projects Update

  9. Item for Plenary Noting - 1 At the Bonn Forum meeting in March 2004, the TBG membership, en masse, expressed concerns with regards to the CSG proposals for the future UN/CEFACT management structure. As a result a paper was written expressing an alternative set of proposals. (Agenda Item 9 - TRADE/CEFACT/2004/35/rev.1) TBG request that the UN/CEFACT delegations consider this contribution seriously as it represents the requirements of the majority of the Forum membership.

  11. Item for Plenary Noting - 2 TBG requests that all delegations promote the following ISO IEC ITU UN/ECE MoU Management Group Resolutions as widely as possible: Resolution 04/01 – April 2004 MoU/MG confirms its Resolution 03/03 in support of the CCTS (v2.01) and encourages all organizations developing e-business content to harmonize that content through the UN/CEFACT TBG 17 (Harmonization) working group. Resolution 03/03 (5.3): The MoU MG encourages the concerned parties to develop a project plan to address harmonization of content. The MoU MG welcomes Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS) version 2.01 and encourage all organizations developing e-business content to harmonize their efforts using that specification.

  12. Item for Plenary Noting - 3 TBG has continued to make significant progress largely due to to the voluntary efforts of its individual expert members supported by generous contributions in kind of tools and other resources from supporting organisations. However, the future TBG Workplan will be very challenging and in order to ensure success the appointment of an SSP to oversee and further support the Forum activities is considered essential.

  13. Other Issues • TBG welcome the Bonn ratification of the first set of cross group project working procedures agreed between TBG/ICG and ATG. However, it is now important to include TMG • Further, TBG believe that it is now crucial to agree a common set of operational procedures at Forum management level and that this should be a very high priority item for the new Forum management structure to address.
