Promote automated Single Window and Smart border solutions (one stop controls)

Exploit synergies with other International Organisations and work together to promote each others tools

Use the provisions of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement as the overarching guide to future activities

Have an integrated approach to environmental, social and economic impacts leading to long-term, sustainable, profitable air cargo industry

Continue to partner with Trade recognising that they strive for the same goals
