Mission No. 2

1. 1. General Information

The Trade Related Technical Assistance Project 2 (TRTA 2) is a development cooperation initiative by and between the Republic of the Philippines (RP) and the Commission of the European Communities (EC). Its implementation arrangements, including the role of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) as requesting authority and coordinating agency, are prescribed under Financing Agreement DCI-ASIE/2007/018-950.

The overall objective "is to support sustainable poverty reduction in the Philippines through further integration into the international trade system". The specific purpose "is to enhance the capacity of selected Government agencies and state actors" for deeper integration into the system. It has four components, as follows:

Capacity building for trade policy and export development – to support development and implementation of a coherent and effective international trade strategy; and implementation of international commitments including those to be made in the framework of the ongoing EU-ASEAN FTA negotiations;
Standards harmonization and SPS conformity – to facilitate adoption of, and compliance with, international standards and regulations for selected product and service exports;
Trade facilitation – to enhance competitive, transparent, and efficient movement of traded products within the international and regional trade facilitation systems;
Rapid response facility – to enable rapid, efficient and effective response to unforeseen problems and issues in trade related areas through provision of short-term technical assistance.

The project has an operational implementation period of four years – from 23 August 2008 to 22 August 2012 - and an estimated cost of EUR 7,475,000, of which EUR 6,500,000 and EUR 975,000 are to be contributed by EC and RP, respectively. It is to be implemented through "decentralized management" under which NEDA will be the contracting and paying authority for certain expenditures including for training, seminars, workshops and operating costs.

For technical assistance, EC remains as the contracting and paying authority and for which a consortium led by ECA has been contracted as Service Provider. The expected period of execution of the EC-ECA service contract is 46 months and shall not in any case go beyond 22 August 2012.
