The workshop will focus on the basic principles and transparency obligations of the TBT Agreement. The workshop will combine lectures, exercises and interactive on-line sessions (as well as short technical meetings with a sub-set of participants dealing specifically with notifications) aiming at improving Bolivia's overall understanding of the TBT  Agreement and, in particular, enhancing its fulfilment of transparency obligations and participation in the work of the TBT Committee. Organizations which develop international standards in the TBT area will also be invited to contribute (e.g. ISO, IEC).
