The Qatar
Chamber of Commerce recently proposed accepting e-certificates of origin among all Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members.
The proposal was delivered
during the 42nd meeting of the Committee of Executive Leadership of the
Federation of GCC Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FGCCI) in Dubai.
During the
meeting, Saleh Hamad al Sharqi, the Qatar Chamber’s acting director-general, presented
the proposal, which seeks to strengthen economic
activity and trade between FGCCI countries by reducing delays.
Qatar
Chamber is already introducing the system in
its home country and is now calling for other GCC countries to implement
the system to better facilitate the movement of goods between nations.
Sharqi said representatives of the GCC chambers who participated in the meeting
hailed the proposal and agreed to hold further meetings on applying the
methods throughout the GCC. Sharqi praised the meeting’s outcome.
