Levesque,Roch
The TTFSE program, goal is to mitigate some of the major obstacles to international transit and trade. It is a regional program involving projects in eight countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, and Serbia and Montenegro. The objectives of the projects supported by the World Bank under the TTFSE are to reduce transport costs, fight corruption, and help Customs administrations gradually align their procedures with EU standards. The task of improving the trade competitiveness of the Balkans for the benefit of all stakeholders is not yet completed, and efforts are needed to move the participating countries toward the achievement of their initial targets. This is the third Progress Report prepared for the Trade and Transport Facilitation in Southeast Europe (TTFSE) Program, which started in late 2000 and has been under implementation for about four years. The focus of the report is on the current status and progress of the projects being implemented in participant countries, The World Bank, as well as the other donors involved in the program, will continue their support to regional trade and transport facilitation with a view to consolidating and building upon the progress already achieved and possible replication and scaling up efforts under a proposed TTFSE II Program.
