The is often a lack of transparency in connection with the introduction of emergency measures relating to trade and transport. This leads to disruption of international trade and supply chains. In close collaboration with the stakeholders of the National Trade Facilitation Committee, UNCTAD offers to undertake desk based rapid scans of the framework of national emergency regulations and with the relevant stakeholders develop a strategy to publish such information in the most transparent manner. In countries that have national trade portals, such information would naturally feature on these portals under a special section of the web site.
