Viet Nam s contribution to the strategic direction of the AADCP Program as Country Coordinator was acknowledged and Thailand was welcomed as the incoming Country Coordinator from August 2006. ASEAN Co-Chair H.E. Mr Nguyen Duy Hung, Director-General of ASEAN Viet Nam, noted that ASEAN was stepping up its implementation of the Vientiane Action Programme (VAP) priorities and that the recent Leaders Meeting in Kuala Lumpur had committed to accelerating the process of building the ASEAN Community by 2015 rather than 2020. He confirmed that narrowing the development gap was an important objective for ASEAN and said that the Initiative for ASEAN Integration was being broadened to also cover poverty reduction, energy, tourism and some other sectors. The ASEAN Secretariat briefed the meeting on progress to date in the implementation of the VAP and the development of an ASEAN Charter which would give ASEAN legal status. The meeting received brief updates on the progress of AADCP s three components: Program Stream (PS); Regional Partnerships Scheme (RPS); and the Regional Economic Policy Support Facility (REPSF) and their linkages to VAP priorities. Reports noted that between them, the three AADCP streams had 28 active projects. AADCP project activities were fostering greater integration and alignment within ASEAN in a range of technical areas, and technical advancement against international benchmarks.

Program Stream News Improving Food Safety Within ASEAN The A$1.5m Strengthening ASEAN Risk Assessment Capability to Support Food Safety Measures Project, is being implemented by Australian Marine Science and Technology Ltd (AMSAT) with technical support from Food Standards Australia New Zealand, and coordination support by the ASEAN Expert Group on Food Safety in conjunction with the ASEAN Subcommittee on Food Science and Technology and the ASEAN Food Safety Network. Practical case studies, technical workshops and networking support improve the capacity of ASEAN member countries to plan and conduct risk assessments on food safety hazards. This is a growing area of importance for all ASEAN nations due to rapid changes in food technology and the expansion of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules-based free trade system. Member countries must be able to assess new and existing products and make decisions Fresh prawns packed according to food safety standards explored in recent project risk assessment workshops about the safety of both imports and exports. The project commenced in November 2005 with an inception and planning phase and in March 2006, a technical review and planning workshop was held to initiate the Microbiological Risk Assessment component of the project. Twenty participants commenced a ninemonth program of mentored practical skills development in risk assessment. Initial activities included regional risk assessments on pathogens affecting seafood, cooked rice and poultry. The Chemical Risk Assessment component was launched in Hanoi in May 2006. ASEAN-Australia and New Zealand (AANZ) FTA Negotiations Supported In April 2006, approximately 50 participants from ASEAN, Australian and New Zealand government agencies attended a workshop in Rotorua, New Zealand on intellectual property (IP) rights and their relationship to free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations. A key objective of the workshop was to enhance the capacity of officials to participate effectively in negotiations on IP in the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand FTA. Workshop topics included: IP and development; international IP agreements; technical cooperation and capacity building; IP and the digital economy; and industrial property international application systems. Formal sessions were complemented by discussion and an open exchange of Delegates gather at the completion of the recent AANZ FTA Workshop held in Rotorua, New Zealand views that addressed relevant issues for representatives of ASEAN economies, Australia and New Zealand. Case studies presented by ASEAN countries, Australia and New Zealand provided participants with an Strengthening Standards in ASEAN The Strengthening ASEAN Standards and Conformity Assessment Systems Project, managed by PDP Australia Pty Ltd in partnership with the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand, has been redesigned to increase the impact of the project and maximise benefits and outcomes for ASEAN member countries. The forward program is now more responsive to ASEAN Consultative Committee on Standards and Quality (ACCSQ) priorities. It is implementing initiatives to assist remote mentoring and better aligns with the ASEAN Secretariat (ASEC) and other planned activities. The forward program will: Increase and focus training in Good Regulatory Practice (GRP) for key priority sectors, particularly regarding the use of risk assessment and risk management in regulation, improved ACCSQ Working Group industry linkages, and GRP priority sector toolkits; Streamline training in standards development and internationalisation; Enhance training in conformity assessment practices to reflect understanding of some of the key issues relevant to the AANZ FTA negotiations. These included accession to international treaties on IP such as the Trademark Law Treaty, the Patent Law Treaty, the Madrid Protocol and the Patent Cooperation Treaty. newly introduced International Standards Organisation/International Electrotechnical Commission guides and better link training theory to system development to provide internationally recognised accreditation services. Recent project activities include a Train the Trainer: Standards Development and Internationalisation workshop held 6-10 March 2006 in Singapore. This aimed to strengthen the capacity of standards bodies in the ASEAN region to participate effectively in international standards development. Page 3

Regional Economic Policy Support Facility News 7th Research Priorities Committee Meeting researchers. The second project was An Impact Assessment of the Visit ASEAN Campaign (06/002). The approval of these two projects concludes REPSF s current research program and funding. The full list of REPSF s endorsed research program, and reports approved for release, can be found at www.aadcp-repsf.org The RPC also discussed possible future directions for REPSF, particularly with reference to the economic relationships of ASEAN +6 member countries (China, Japan, Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand). Participants in the 7th Research Priorities Committee Meeting (L-R): Ms Marilou Drilon (AusAID); Mr Geoff McConnell (AusAID); Ms Anna Robeniol (ASEC); HE Mr Ong Keng Yong (ASEC); Mr Peter Callan (AusAID) The REPSF 7th Research Priorities Committee (RPC) meeting was held in Jakarta on 28 March 2006. The meeting was chaired by ASEAN Secretary General, Mr Ong Keng Yong, and co-chaired by Mr Peter Callan, AusAID. Mr Nurdin Hamid from the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia represented the ASEAN Senior Economic Officials Meeting. The RPC approved two projects. The first project, An Investigation into the Measures Affecting the Integration of ASEAN s Priority Sectors Phase 2 (06/001) will study barriers to economic integration and produce case studies on the following areas: air travel and tourism; textiles and apparel; and electronics. Given the broad scope of the project, it will be implemented in phases and involve significant input from ASEAN-based Ten Years of AFAS: An Assessment A design mission comprising Australian and ASEC team members will explore options for an expanded program of research, dissemination and outreach activities. The research focus will include topics on economic integration between ASEAN and its +6 dialogue partners and will ensure that ASEAN member countries and ASEAN can successfully deal with competitive pressures from the +6 dialogue partners. All agreed that the future would build on successful modalities achieved to date. within ASEAN was about 10 per cent less restrictive than it was between ASEAN Member Countries and the rest of the world. The project made several key strategic recommendations to: AFAS Researchers with ASEC and REPSF staff: Back row (L- R): Mr Paul Bartlett (PDP Team); Mr Lim Chze Cheen (ASEC); Mr Vo Tri Thanh (PDP Team); Mr John Cunningham (REPSF). Front row (L- R): Ms Dewi Sudharta (ASEC); Ms Glenda Reyes (ASEC); Ms Monette Serafica (REPSF) As part of the REPSF program, PDP Australia Pty Ltd (PDP) recently undertook a research study on Ten Years of the ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services (AFAS): An Assessment (Project 05/004). The project assessed the extent to which regional liberalisation of services trade had progressed in the last decade, considered difficulties encountered in services liberalisation on both the domestic and multilateral fronts, and examined how ASEAN should evaluate its performance at the regional level. Working closely with ASEC, the PDP Team, comprised of Mr Paul Bartlett (Australia) and Mr Vo Tri Thanh (Viet Nam), focused on issues of coverage, depth, restrictiveness, regulatory convergence, extent of Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs), regulatory harmonisation, transparency and predictability, and overall performance. The consultants presented their findings to the 45th Meeting of the ASEAN Coordinating Committee on Services (CCS) in Yangon, Myanmar, on 17 February 2006. They highlighted that, when assessed across all countries, ASEAN member countries have managed to make liberalisation commitments in 50 per cent more services sectors under AFAS than they had done under the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). In aggregate, services trade Develop Australian Managing Contractor (AMC) Action plans and associated monitoring tools (e.g. Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation peer review model); Target all sectors for AFAS liberalisation that AMCs have not made commitments on under the GATS; Prioritise the finalisation of MRAs; Establish timelines for deeper integration (e.g. abolition of ceiling bindings); Implement firmer provisions on transparency and predictability; and Improve AFAS-wide transparency. A simplified Assessment Framework (AF) was developed, for future monitoring and evaluation of progress under AFAS, as the region moves towards the free flow of services by 2015. Page 4

Australian Government White Paper Aims For More Effective Aid The Honourable Alexander Downer, Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs, launches the White Paper In April 2006 the Australian Government released a White Paper on Australian Aid: Promoting Growth and Stability, which sets out a 10-year plan for maximising the effectiveness of Australian aid. The Paper provides an account of how the Australian Government will approach the doubling of Australia s overseas aid budget to around Page 5 A$4 billion by 2010. The Australian aid program will principally target poverty reduction, sustainable development and progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. It will be directed mainly to Asia and the Pacific, reflecting Australia s strong commitment to a stable and prosperous region. aadcp profile Australia s Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Honourable Alexander Downer MP, said that delivering Australia s aid program will be built on partnerships. Aid would reach out to the region and promote closer ties between Australia and its neighbours. AADCP represents an important partnership, which helps to reinforce ASEAN-Australian ties through support for common goals. AADCP is complemented by Australia s bilateral development aid to poorer countries and areas within ASEAN and by other regional aid initiatives that address cross-boundary concerns. Some of the White Paper s strategic themes fit closely with the goals of ASEAN s Vientiane Action Programme (VAP). The White Paper notes that broadly spread, sustainable economic growth is the single most important objective for our region, and argues that the momentum of export-led growth needs to be maintained but its benefits expanded to cover poorer countries and areas. It explores preconditions for narrowing the development gap and flags the importance of trade liberalisation. The White Paper also highlights regional stability and cooperation. It recognises the value of regional networks such as ASEAN for overcoming constraints to growth and addressing trans-boundary threats. It confirms the benefits of regional integration to boost trade and growth and the value of pooling resources for regional cooperation. Further details are available on the AusAID website: www.ausaid.gov.au Australia s 2006-07 Overseas Aid Budget Supports New Initiatives On 9 May 2006, the Australian Government announced its Budget for the coming financial year. Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Honourable Alexander Downer MP, announced A$2.946 billion had been allocated for Official Development Assistance (ODA), a nine per cent increase over expected aid expenditure in 2005-06 in line with the Government s goal of doubling aid by 2010. This year Australia will start implementing the recommendations of the Government s recent White Paper, Australian Aid: Promoting Growth and Stability. These include some major initiatives, such as infrastructure for growth, establishment of the Australia-Pacific Technical College, development of performance incentives for partner countries, and strategies for delivering better health and education. The Budget also introduces Australian Scholarships, an enhanced award program combining the existing scholarship programs of AusAID and the Australian Department of Education, Science and Training. Recognising the value of scholarships in building knowledge and people-to-people understanding, the Australian Government has pledged nearly A$1.4 billion for more than 19,000 awards over the next five years. Australian Scholarships will include a new category, Australian Leadership Awards, focused on developing future leaders in the Asia- Pacific region. More than 3,000 of these postgraduate and fellowship awards will be offered. The Budget maintains Australia s aid focus on neighbouring countries of Asia and the Pacific. In East Asia, Australian aid will assist in accelerating economic growth, promoting regional integration and managing transnational threats through regional channels such as ASEAN and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. Australia will support the Asian Development Bank s Greater Mekong Sub-region Initiative and give continued high priority to bilateral partnerships with Indonesia, Viet Nam and the Philippines. A new A$100 million commitment over four years will enable Australia to work with partner countries and regional organisations to strengthen the capacity of health systems to deal with emerging pandemics such as Avian Influenza. Funding for ASEAN will meet Australia s agreed commitments, including the additional A$10.5 million package announced by Mr Downer in December 2005 to support the East Asia Summit s trade and economic cooperation goals.
