National Training Workshop on Trade and Environment

Phnom Penh, Cambodia. 27-28 Oct 2005

The meeting focuses on several subjects that were mentioned in a letter of the Cambodian Environment Minister to the Secretary-General of UNCTAD of early 2005, in which the Minister seeks UNCTAD's assistance in providing training. The meeting focuses on three key issues: (i) trade aspects of ISO 9000; (ii) measures for environmental protection under WTO rules; and (iii) labeling for environmental purposes.

On the latter subject, the meeting will discuss the experience of Thailand in shaping and implementing its eco-labeling programme.
