CP3 USA
CP3 Group have been working with TradeFacilitate.com on North America
for over 18 months.
The partnership network agreed that SME's interests would benefit from being
represented
from September 2007 in a Transatlantic dimension being added to
the European project.
SMEs are the backbone of both the EU and US economies and the Transatlantic initiative will redress the issues raised in the 2005 report commissioned by
Eurochambres and US Chamber
of Commerce (download here) which highlighted the
inability of SMEs in Transatlantic trade to find;
1) The right information on Customs
procedures.
2) Information about standards and
technical procedures
3) Local partners
4) Overall trading
information
The Transatlantic initiative
directly addresses these issues.
The process will be mutually beneficial.
The EU clearly
outlined that they expect the private sector to lead with solutions in secure
movement of goods
and competitiveness.
Against
this clear background
we see it as logical that the relevant US capabilities/experiences
in
these
areas are fused to CP3 initiatives so as to maximise the opportunity
for safe and competitive Transatlantic trade for SMEs upwards.
From April 2007, CP3 Group are committed to extend
the EU "Clearview" initiative to embrace North American SME
participants from October
2007.
A full list of the USA partners committed to "TradeFacilitate.com" from October
2007 can be accessed soon.
