The Network of eTIR focal points and eTIR website (16 April 2010)
At its forty-second session, the TIRExB invited the secretariat to explore options how to organize the activities of the GE.1 at long distance by means of email exchange, which would mean that also representatives from Contracting Parties who were not able to attend the GE.1 sessions could participate in its work.
Consequently, the secretariat proposed the creation of a network of focal points for eTIR. At its 124th session, the Working Party supported the proposal to create a network of focal points for eTIR, which should also include representatives from Contracting Parties who are not able to attend the GE.1 sessions.
In order to further promote the eTIR project and to broaden the access to eTIR news, events and documentation, the secretariat also devised the present website.
