Challenges for Developing MNTP/NTR
• Trade-related information currently originates from a number ofdifferent government agencies.
• Various ministry websites typically have different appearances andstructures that make it difficult for business to find information.
• Although MNTP/ NTR will provide a single website where all trade –related information can be consolidated and presented in an easilyaccessible, dynamic and comprehensive way, this will require thatinformation origination within each agency should be passed to theMOC in a timely and structured manner.
• Therefore we need a lot of cooperation and coordination fromgovernment agencies.

Concluding Message
• This system is slightly different with the Single Window.
• It is mainly for exchanging information pro-actively, but need for the agreement on mechanism/funding for on-going operation.
• MoC expects to finalize this system end of this year and to launch in March 2016.
