IDENTIFICATION OF TRADE FACILI TATION NEEDS AND PRIORITIES  
(PARAGRAPH 4 OF THE NEGOTIATING MANDATE) 
 
 SELF-ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE AND INVENTORY 
 
   
   
 
    
I. INTRODUCTION  
1. This questionnaire has been prep ared by the Secretariat for use by Members in order to assist 
them individually to assess their Trade Facilitati on needs and priorities on a case-by-case basis with 
reference to the proposals that have been tabled in the Negotiating Group relating to the clarification 
and improvement of relevant aspects of GATT Articles V, VIII and X.   It has been designed to allow 
each Member to develop an inventory of the proposed facilitation measures that have been 
implemented already in its territory, to identify gaps where further facilitation measures could be 
taken, and to identify areas where targeted techni cal assistance and/or capacity building support is 
needed and could be requested. If Members were to re turn the questionnaire resu lts to the Secretariat, 
the Secretariat could compile them, without attributio n to the Member concerned, so as to provide the 
Negotiating Group as a whole with an overall picture of the needs and priorities in this area. 
2. The questionnaire has been drawn up on the basi s of the Secretariat's compilation of proposals 
that have been made by Members in the Negotia ting Group (TN/TF/W/43/Rev.1).  Questions aim at 
identifying existing rates of implementation and related technical assistance and capacity building 
needs in a preliminary fashion and in approximate terms. The description of the measures generally follows the headings of the compilation paper, which should therefore be consulted when seeking 
additional information on the precise coverage of a given question.
1 Specific proposals with no room 
for corresponding action at the national level2 were excluded as not susceptible to the format of the 
questionnaire. Some deviations from the compilation' s headings were also made where they seemed 
too short to make the questions fully comprehens ible. Here, the questionnaire seeks to provide more 
clarity by adding further elements of the proposed measures. 
                                                      
1 When seeking the precise content of "Maintenance of Integrity Among Offici als", for instance, the 
corresponding section in document TN/TF/W/43/Rev.1 shou ld be consulted, clarifying that this measure is 
proposed to cover (i) the development of codes of conduct for staff of border agencies and (ii) the appointment 
of officials in charge of providing training to relevant officials.  
2 Such as the proposal to "Clarify and improve the terminology [of Articl e V] to reduce perceived 
uncertainty and avoid loopholes, for example with regard to the definition of goods (including baggage)". 
 This document has been pre pared under the Secretariat's 
own responsibility and without prejudice to the positions of Members on the acceptance of a referenced measure in the context of the Trade Facilitation negotiations TN/TF/W/59

 3. This questionnaire is intended to complement  more detailed diagnostic tools for assessing 
needs and priorities that are available from ot her sources – such as UNCTAD, the World Bank and 
the World Customs Organization.
3 These tools should be consulted by Members who wish to carry 
out a more comprehensive analysis of their need s and priorities for assistance on trade facilitation 
issues more generally.
