Our meetings today in Pattaya, Thailand with ASEAN Customs Directors-General, provided TRACIT, EU-ASEAN Biz Council, APISWA with valuable opportunities to emphasize best practices and the critical role of Customs in stopping #illicittrade .
WFZO's membership of #FTZ worldwide is an effective means for educating zones of the risks of #illicittrade . It's been 3 years since OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives introduced FTZ recommendations, so hopefully today constitutes a meaningful step forward in the process of securing vulnerabilities.
This MoU is a valuable blueprint for TRACIT to work with Universal Postal Union and national posts to increase awareness, improve postal security standards, promote best practices and share information - to deliver tangible actions against #illicittrade .
Congrats to @UN_CETD for exposing how the trade, and trafficking of natural resources can finance terrorism. This is yet another compelling reason for governments to prioritize the mitigation of #illicittrade .
TRACIT we published similar on illicit trade and #forcedlabor
This was an excellent opportunity and an important step forward in the process to defend postal networks from #illicittrade .

Thank you! to Cindy Braddon from TRACIT for highlighting the #socialcosts of #illicittrade , including reduced investment, forced labor and sustainable development.
Leaders won't be able to achieve deforestation objectives until they step up efforts to fight #illegallogging and #illicittimbertrade . See TRACIT report on the negative impact of illegal logging on achievement of @SDG 1, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16. tracit.org/uploads/1/0/2/…
