In pursuit of the TDAP vision, a reinforced WTO Cell with
a dedicated team of professionals has been established. Divided
into three units, namely, the Information & Research Unit,
the Advisory Unit and the Advocacy Unit, the Cell shall be
capable of providing data and research facilities for exporters
and importers.
Primarily, the Cell would assist in providing importers and
exporters in Pakistan with data on market conditions related
to WTO obligations (import and export barriers) and trade
flows (import and export volumes, value and shares) in a form
and context that is useful to traders. The Cell will also
provide specific analytical support to entrepreneurs for identifying
market access opportunities in existing as well as new markets
and will respond promptly to general enquiries and requests
for advice about the WTO trading system, the status of multilateral
and bilateral negotiations, availability of trade information
from multilateral agencies (WTO, UNCTAD and ITC) and access
to selected publications that provide more background on these
issues.
