Cebu traders set forum on regional integration on Nov. 6

Posted on November 5, 2013

CEBU CITY, (PNA) — The Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) and the Central Visayas Regional Development Council have scheduled a forum on Wednesday, Nov. 6, on the effects of the 2015 Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) economic integration.

The Forum on the Asean Economic Integration: Impact on Central Visayas Business, Manufacturing and Agri-Fishery Sectors will feature senior researchers from the Philippine Institute for Development Studies.

In a statement, the CCCI noted that in scorecards gauging country preparedness for integration, the Philippines only met 96 measures out of 131 that needed to be implemented from 2010 until the present.

Rather than just awareness, the forum’s organizers assure that the discussions will focus on the implementing gaps in investment liberalization and facilitation, where the Philippines scored just 71 percent in terms of implementing needed measures required for the AEC.

Other topics include the establishment of a national single window for easier customs processes, trade facilitation and transport and logistics, which they hope is more relevant for small and medium enterprises.

Senior researcher Dr. Erlinda Medalla will give an overview of the Asean Ecnomic Community (AEC) and discuss trade liberalization and facilitation.

The issues and challenges regarding standards and conformance will be handled by research specialist Veredigna Ledda.

Dr. Adoracion Navarro will be discussing the topic on infrastructure and logistics while Dr. Roehlano Briones will explain the impact of the AEC on agriculture and fisheries.

The CCCI hopes stakeholders will participate in the forum and join in creating a roadmap for Cebu to prepare it for the competition it faces ahead.
