Component 1.<br />
Technical Feasibility Initiative for Electronic<br />
Exchange Of CEPT Form D<br />
Malaysia, Indonesia <strong>and</strong> the Philippines have<br />
implemented a Technical Feasibility Initiative<br />
for the electronic exchange <strong>of</strong> the Preferential<br />
Certificate <strong>of</strong> Origin, CEPT Form D. The<br />
objective <strong>of</strong> this initiative is to test technical<br />
feasibility, as well as viability <strong>of</strong> long term<br />
exchange <strong>of</strong> large amount <strong>of</strong> data between<br />
NSW Systems <strong>of</strong> ASEAN Member States.<br />
The scope <strong>of</strong> the initiative:<br />
• CEPT Form D will be electronically<br />
exchanged between the NSWs <strong>of</strong> Malaysia,<br />
Indonesia <strong>and</strong> the Philippines;<br />
• Malaysian exporters will submit the<br />
CEPT Form D application electronically<br />
through Malaysia’s NSW using the e-PCO<br />
application. Upon approval, the CEPT<br />
Form D data will then be transmitted to<br />
Indonesia NSW or the Philippines NSW.<br />
The respective NSWs will then transmit<br />
the data to Indonesian or the Philippines<br />
Customs for validation; <strong>and</strong><br />
• exporters from Indonesia or the Philippines<br />
will submit the CO application electronically<br />
through the Indonesia NSW or the<br />
Philippines NSW, which will then transmit<br />
the data to the Malaysia NSW <strong>and</strong> will<br />
be passed to the Malaysian Customs for<br />
validation.<br />
Malaysia <strong>and</strong> Indonesia began exchange <strong>of</strong><br />
live data on 1 July 2009. The Philippines has<br />
begun exchanging live data with Malaysia <strong>and</strong><br />
Indonesia on 19 October 2009. As at May<br />
2010, Malaysia had successfully transmitted<br />
9,305 CEPT Form D to Indonesia <strong>and</strong> 3,486<br />
CEPT Form D to the Philippines.<br />
The next step will be to invite other AMS such<br />
as Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Thail<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> Viet Nam to participate in this initiative.<br />

THAILAND SPEEDS UP DEVELOPMENT OF HALAL SECTOR<br />
_________________________________________________________________<br />
The Industrial Estate Authority <strong>of</strong> Thail<strong>and</strong><br />
(IEAT) opened a one-stop service centre at<br />
Pattani’s Halal Food Industrial Estate to attract<br />
private investment to the Southern Provinces<br />
<strong>of</strong> Thail<strong>and</strong>. The US$2.35 million (Bht 82.84<br />
million) centre, which had a s<strong>of</strong>t opening on<br />
January 2010 is now fully operational.<br />
This one-stop service centre will administer<br />
the Halal-GMP/HACCP st<strong>and</strong>ards, promote<br />
businesses <strong>and</strong> provide marketing <strong>and</strong><br />
various other services. This initiative by the<br />
Halal industry development panel, chaired by<br />
Deputy Prime Minister Korbsak Sabhavasu,<br />
had approved strategies to develop the<br />
halal industry last year. The strategies<br />
include meeting world halal st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong><br />
conforming to domestic dem<strong>and</strong>, promoting<br />
the competitiveness <strong>of</strong> both entrepreneurs <strong>and</strong><br />
workers in the industry, increasing Thail<strong>and</strong>’s<br />
capability in halal food certification as well as<br />
exp<strong>and</strong>ing markets share <strong>and</strong> upgrading R&D.<br />
The Government <strong>of</strong> Thail<strong>and</strong> has identified<br />
the halal sector as one <strong>of</strong> the growth sectors<br />
‘<strong>StatsAPEC</strong>’ - APEC STATISTICS PORTAL<br />
___________________________________________________________________<br />
APEC Secretariat has launched a new statistics<br />
portal, ‘<strong>StatsAPEC</strong>’, which provides the only<br />
consolidated source <strong>of</strong> APEC-specific data <strong>of</strong><br />
21 APEC economies.<br />
‘<strong>StatsAPEC</strong>’ is made up <strong>of</strong> two databases:<br />
• ‘Key Indicators Database’ which includes<br />
more than 120 trade, financial <strong>and</strong><br />
socio-economic indicators, allowing for<br />
which will be held in Songkhla, Thail<strong>and</strong> in<br />
October 2010.<br />
As a way forward, MITI <strong>and</strong> Agencies, together<br />
with the relevant state agencies, Chambers <strong>of</strong><br />
Commerce, <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> Commerce, Thail<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Export Promotion,<br />
Thail<strong>and</strong> will establish a Working Group to<br />
facilitate the organising <strong>of</strong> the first Dasar<br />
Lima Summit.<br />
in the region. It is estimated that the country’s<br />
halal exports supply 1% <strong>of</strong> the global<br />
halal food market valued at US$1.5 billion<br />
annually. Thail<strong>and</strong>’s domestic market for halal<br />
products <strong>and</strong> services is relatively small as<br />
it has only three million Muslims, about 5%<br />
<strong>of</strong> its population. Most <strong>of</strong> the Muslims are<br />
concentrated in the southern region.<br />
Malaysian exporters are encouraged to<br />
collaborate with Thai manufacturers to export<br />
halal products to other parts <strong>of</strong> the world. There<br />
are already Malaysian traders who are working<br />
with Thai exporters <strong>of</strong> halal products to export<br />
these products under Malaysian br<strong>and</strong>s. The<br />
collaboration is viable as long as value-added<br />
processes are carried out in Malaysia <strong>and</strong> the<br />
products are exported from Malaysia. The full<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> ASEAN Free <strong>Trade</strong> Area<br />
can further facilitate these types <strong>of</strong> re-export<br />
activities.<br />

APEC aggregates are a feature unique to<br />
‘<strong>StatsAPEC</strong>’ <strong>and</strong> are available for a broad<br />

the region as a whole. The objective <strong>of</strong><br />
‘<strong>StatsAPEC</strong>’ is to provide cost-free access to<br />
an extensive database <strong>of</strong> APEC statistics for<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficials, researchers, businesses, students<br />
<strong>and</strong> the public at large that will enable them to<br />
learn more about the Asia-Pacific region.<br />
APEC BUSINESS TRAVEL CARD (ABTC): FROM A<br />
BUSINESSMAN’S PERSPECTIVE<br />
______________________________________________________<br />
The ABTC was established to facilitate <strong>and</strong><br />
make it easier for frequent business travellers<br />
within the Asia-Pacific region. This enables<br />
ABTC business travellers from participating<br />
Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)<br />
economies to avail themselves <strong>of</strong> expedited<br />
visa processing <strong>and</strong> access to designated<br />
lanes at airports across the APEC region.<br />
To date, all 21 APEC economies are<br />
participants <strong>of</strong> the ABTC Scheme. The United<br />
States <strong>of</strong> America, Canada <strong>and</strong> Russia are<br />
transitional members. All APEC economies<br />
except the transitional members recognise<br />
the card as a multiple-entry visa valid for<br />
three years <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>fer dedicated lanes for<br />
faster immigration processing at major entry<br />
points.<br />

a scheme called ABTC. As a Malaysian<br />
passport holder, having the ABTC is a great<br />
value, as there is no need to get visas. I save<br />

travel abroad. The card enables me to use<br />

countries <strong>and</strong> I am able to clear immigration<br />
formalities expeditiously”.<br />
