Removing Red Tape

Today I was participating in a panel on ’Removing red tape – honoring the ambition of the TFA’ at the DHL GoTrade Summit 23 in Bonn. Excellent moderation by my old colleagues & friend Steven Pope, Group Head Trade Facilitation, DHL Group at the DHL.

Great panel discussion about how to remove red tape & increase our joint trade facilitation efforts. It is also important to make sure that new regulations will be designed & implemented, after consultation, in new smart ways so we don’t replace red tape with green tape. The TFA has amready made a difference, but we need more.

I shared the panel with the following excellent colleagues Carlos Grau Tanner, Director General, Global Express Association, Poul Hanssen, Chief, Trade Facilitation, UNCTAD, Dolores Halloran, Secretary to the Trade Facilitation Committee, WTO (online) and Sofia Boza, Chile Ambassador to the WTO (online).
