UNECE External Review (1)UNECE External Review (1)
The Member States of UNECE decided to commission a comprehensive report on the state of UNECE
An evaluation team was set up and carried out the review between January & June 2005
Their report, “The State of UNECE” was published on 30 June 2005
The Bureau, as with the other WPs in UNECE, under the authority of the CTIED was invited to comment on the report & its recommendations
26 September 2005 7th UN/CEFACT FORUM Lyon 18
UNECE External Review (2)UNECE External Review (2)
The global value of UN/CEFACT’s standards is recognized and appreciated
Despite informing the Evaluation Team of a number of errors in their report, because the views of the Member States were somewhat contradictory, no action was taken
Certain recommendations are unacceptableThe Bureau has therefore prepared a response. This has
been communicated to the Chair of the UNECE Commission, Ambassador Roux of Belgium
HoDs have been provided with a briefing paper to communicate to their Missions in Geneva who will be involved in the negotiations
26 September 2005 7th UN/CEFACT FORUM Lyon 19
UNECE External Review - Next StepsUNECE External Review - Next Steps
The UNECE Commission, under Ambassador Roux of Belgium, has now started negotiations and hopes to conclude by November 2005
Bureau members are contacting individual HoDs to follow up on the briefing paper they have been asked to communicate to their Missions in Geneva who will be involved in the negotiations
As a number of Bureau members and HoDs are attending the Forum here in Lyon, there is an opportunity to discuss some of the recommendations and agree on further action
The main thrust of the External Review concerns the governance of UNECE and it is felt that reforms proposed may be implemented fairly quickly
