Within preparation for the GIZ Project "Custom (s) made - Support to the Application of Preferential Rules of the Origin of Goods, representatives of FIPA and GIZ discussed on how the origin of goods can influence the decision to invest in certain countries.
The FIPA
representatives have provided all necessary information about the preferential
regime and the impact it can have on the decision of potential investors to
invest.
The project
aims to improve access of private sector to information of importance for
export in the part of the possibility for preferential trade and rules of the origin
of goods. The project targets export-oriented companies, especially those
operating in the sectors targeted by new rules on the origin of goods (full cumulating),
and which include the sector of textile and clothing products, as well as
related sectors of footwear and leather processing.
The pilot
phase of the project will cover three countries of the region (Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Macedonia and Serbia), with a focus on the textile sector, so that
the partners in this project are organizations and associations of the private
sector, and associations and chambers of sectors.
It was agreed
to continue cooperation between FIPA and GIZ on this project.
