11 Support of the development of AEO programmes / promotion of Mutual Recognition Arrangements and Trade Recovery Efforts 1. Recognizing the importance of realizing trade facilitation and trade security at a high level, we support the establishment of an AEO programme in each economy, as advocated by the World Customs Organization (WCO), and will promote mutual recognition arrangements (MRA) of the AEO programmes between interested economies, about which the business sector has strong expectations. 2. Commending the completion of the AEO Compendium developed by the SCCP based on the AEO Action Plan, we will pursue the steady implementation of the AEO Action Plan including the development of the AEO Best Practice with a view to promoting the establishment of an AEO programme in each APEC economy. 3. Recognizing the importance of APEC Trade Recovery Program to facilitate trade while ensuring trade security, we ask SCCP members to continue developing communication networks to facilitate the resumption of trade in the event of a major disruption to the global supply chain.
