Global Partnerships

 

AEC MD (Refer MD Roles) International and National chair roles, past and present, have created for AEC a national and global network of capability with partner organisations who demonstrate pursuit of best practice and the developement and application of global open standards supporting trade facilitation.

The involvement with the UN/ECE, UN/CEFACT, AFACT, WCO, UNESCAP and UN/NExT, and more particularly working globally as a chair and project leader on behalf of UN/CEFACT with the 200-250 experts who are continually contributing to the developement of the UNECE UN/CEFACT trade faciliation standards ensures that AEC and its chosen partners are at the forefront of developments.

It is this global contribution and participation at operational as well as executive level that ensures AEC is engaged on leading global initiatives such as 'Project Eureka' being the international extension of the EU eTEN funded 'Clearview' cross border intra-EU 'paper free' trade facilitation service suited to SME's and developing economies.

The work successfully completed Q2'07 to Q4'08 is now being extended into the Asia region through UN/ECE and UN/ESCAP.
