TRADE-RELATED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (TRTA) AND CAPACITY BUILDING
IN THE FIELD OF TRADE AND ENVIRONMENT
Submission by the European Communities under Paragraph 33
I. INTRODUCTION
1. Paragraph 33 of the Doha Development Agenda stresses the importance of technical
assistance and capacity building in the field of trade and environment to developing countries, in
particular the least-developed among them.
2. The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) Plan of Implementation, adopted in
Johannesburg, also refers to the need to strengthen and improve technical assistance and capacity
building for sustainable development, both at national and international levels.  Discussions in the
Committee on Trade and Environment but also in  workshops organized by UNEP, UNCTAD and
OECD have demonstrated the interest of many WTO Members for this issue.
II. ROLE OF TRTA IN TRADE AND ENVIRONMENT
3. The European Communities (EC) fully acknowledges the need for Trade and Environment
technical assistance as being critical for developing countries to meet the challenge of sustainable
development.  Such an assistance should in particular help developing countries reap the benefits of
further trade liberalisation and of new market opportunities while moving towards sustainable
development, also at national level.  This should accompany the DDA negotiating process so as to
ensure that developing countries participate in such negotiations and prepare themselves to embracethe results achieved with regard to sustainability.
4. The EC has continuously highlighted the role of  technical assistance in the CTE.  Recently in
its submission on labelling for environmental purposes (WT/CTE/W/225) and its corresponding
proposal (JOB(03)/130), the EC has proposed that  the CTE Regular Session shall before the end of
2004 hold, in addition to its usual schedule of meetings to be agreed, [three] “dedicated sessions” thatshall pay particular attention, inter alia , to “the role of technical assistance to developing countries in
designing eco-labelling schemes and in participating in the international standardisation process;
technical assistance should also focus on the difficulties faced by developing countries when applying
for eco-labels in export markets”.
5. The EC has also called other WTO Members to support the Sustainable Trade and Innovation
Centre (STIC), which is a Type 2 initiative designed to help developing country producers integrate
environmental factors into their export strategy and to facilitate dialogue on voluntary codes between
developing country producers and developed countries.WT/CTE/W/231
Page 2
6. With a view to expanding the discussions beyond the field of labelling for environmental
purposes, the EC hereby submits an illustrative list of its trade-related technical assistance and
capacity building programmes in the annex.
III. HOW TO READ THE SUBMITTED LIST
7. The purpose of this list is not for the EC to present a total budget for its TRTA activities in
the field of trade and environment that would encompass the entire budget of all the programmes
listed.
8. Indeed, many programmes include a trade and environment component which is only a part of
a wider technical assistance programme:  the budgets indicated in the list are the total budgets of each
programme and not their specific trade and environment component.  Thus, in order to avoid counting
twice the same amount, the projects listed which have only a component which relates to trade and
environment will not be registered in the WTO Doha Database under the Trade and Environmentheading.
9. For the same reason, the time period covered by the programmes is less strictly defined than
the one used for the WTO Doha Database:  all activities are on-going, just completed or decided and
planned to start in the near future.
10. Nevertheless, a description that would be limited to programmes exclusively dedicated to
trade and environment would not fully reflect the efforts of the EC to mainstream the trade and
environment dimension throughout its TRTA activities, even in programmes that are not specifically
designed for trade and environment purposes.
11. Moreover, the aim of this list is to stimulate discussion on the basis of concrete TRTA
activities. For this purpose, even limited trade and environment components of wider TRTAprogrammes can be relevant for a specific country or a specific activity.
12. Finally, this list covers a broad range of trade related activities, but collecting data on TRTA
is a complex exercise:  the list is therefore not exhaustive.  The EC wishes to reserve the possibility to
update and complement it.
IV. HOW MAKE USE OF IT
13. Even if the list of activities in the annex is not exhaustive, it has been established keeping in
mind some of the principles that the EC considers as particularly important in the design of TRTA in
the field of trade and environment:
- to make the process country driven:  Sustainability Impact Assessments and UNEP’s
Integrated assessments are valuable tools that can help developing countries better
identify linkages between trade, environment and development and, on the basis of
their respective situation and needs, develop adequate tools to be put in place at thenational level and better identify a possible need for external support;
- to assist developing countries’ trade negotiators;
- to look for synergies between trade, environment and development : many projects tend
at the same time to improve the environmental situation and to help developing
countries reap the benefits of trade liberalization;WT/CTE/W/231
Page 3
- to enhance coherence among donors:  for example, the European Commission has
provided support to the Capacity Building Task Force, a joint effort between UNEP and
UNCTAD.
14. The aim of the submission of the attached list is to assist the Secretariat in complementing its
report under paragraph 33 of the Doha Development Agenda, but also to enhance better co-ordinationbetween trade, environment and development policies and officials in donor and beneficiary
countries.
15. In the EC, the selection of these programmes is the result of a decision process involving
trade, environment and development services.  In countries benefiting from development assistance,
the same kind of co-ordination is necessary when it comes to prioritising domestic needs and to
designing efficient programmes.  The EC would we lcome this list being forwarded to capitals to
further stimulate discussions between trade, environment and development experts of donors andbeneficiary countries.  This discussion will help further improve the design of EC development
assistance programmes, and should be of interest for other technical assistance providers.
