CDC - 7 CG Twelve Point Plan

Twelve Point Plan: Government Commitments to Improve the Investment
Climate and Trade Facilitation

1. Establish a Cross-Agency Trade Facilitation/Investment Climate Reform Team.

2. Establish a System of Transparent Performance Measurement including Private Sector Monitoring.

3. The trade facilitation process, including all licenses, procedures and documents, will be reviewed to remove overlaps and unnecessary approvals. Following the reengineering, a Single Administrative Document will be implemented and other documents progressively eliminated.

4. Introduce an overall risk management strategy to consolidate and rationalize all examination requirements of the different control agencies.

5. A strategic review of the role of CamControl will be launched to more productively deploy the organization’s unique knowledge of quality control processes and make optimized use of inputs and resources from other agencies, such as the CED.

6. A single Window process to manage trade facilitation will be piloted in the Port of Sihanoukville by December 2005. The Trade Facilitation process, once streamlined, will be automated by December 2005.

7. The Government will introduce a WTO compatible flat fee for service, and the service will be defined by a service-level agreement. The fee structure will be public.

8. Streamline the process and reduce the cost of incorporating with the Commercial Register, which is maintained at the Office of the Clerk of the Commercial Court, and costs an average of $630 and 30 days.

9. Streamline the process notification of the Ministry of Labor to start hiring employees, which costs $250 and 30 days to complete.

10. Harmonize registration for VAT, income tax and company registration using the same form and resulting in the same number. This would enable a unique identifier information sharing across agencies.

11. Implement a national award to promote good corporate citizenship and governance in the private sector.

12. Monitoring and Reporting.
