DESCRIPTION:The EU Delegation in Jakarta is organising an event on 12th March in Bangkok to sensitise the private sector on ASSIST: The ASEAN Solutions for Investment\, Services and Trade http://assist.asean.org/\nThis free online tool has recently been enhanced with additional anonymity features\, and it can now cover matters relating to Trade in Goods and Trade in Services. \nThis event is organised by their regional flagship programme ARISE+. Please find attached the programme and background information on ASSIST.  \n\n\nASSIST: ASEAN Solutions for Investment\, Services and Trade\n\nASSIST in a nutshell\n\nASSIST means ASEAN Solutions for Investment\, Services and Trade.\nASSIST was formally launched at the ASEAN Economic Ministers’ (AEM) Meeting held in August 2016 and then officially presented to the ASEAN business sector at the ASEAN Business Summit 2016. It was initially developed for “Trade in Goods” only. ASSIST has now been extended to “Trade in Services”.\nASSIST for Trade in Services has been soft-launched at the ASEAN Business Summit in November 2018. It will be fully deployed during Thailand’s ASEAN Chairmanship.\nASSIST is a non-binding and consultative mechanism to find solutions to problems encountered by ASEAN-based enterprises on cross-border issues (e.g. when ASEAN enterprises experience trade issues when exporting their goods or services into other ASEAN countries).\nWhen a valid complaint is lodged\, ASEAN Member States should propose a solution within 40 to 60 days maximum.\nASSIST is user-friendly\, internet based and free of charge http://assist.asean.org/\nThe ASSIST mechanism was established to implement the ASEAN Consultations to Solve Trade and Investment Issues (ACT) mandated under the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA).\nASSIST is linked to the ASEAN Trade Repository (ATR) and National Trade Repositories (NTR) maintained by ASEAN Member States where trade related information is available.\nASSIST is has an interactive ‘tracking system’ and ‘traffic light’ dashboard that allows the key actors to follow the online proceedings.\nNew features: On top of extending the ASSIST to Trade in Service\, complains anonymity has been enhanced – following feedback from the private sector. Now\, complains can be lodged not only by 1) ASEAN-based company\, but also through 2) ASEAN-based trade association (Chamber of Commerce) or 3) ASEAN-based registered lawyers or law firms.\nThe ASEAN business community is encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities offered by ASSIST to seek solutions to the constraints that they may be facing when trading within ASEAN.\n\nAbout ASSIST and ARISE PLus \nAdditional information on ASSIST can be found on ASSIST’s website at https://assist.asean.org.\nThe technical assistance activities of ARISE Plus are available on https://ariseplus.asean.org. \nFor more information:\nARISE Plus Programme\nASEAN Secretariat\n70A Jl.
