impossible to generalize about the type of activities they engage in or the level of participation in such

STRATEGIC PLAN FOR PARTNERSHIP FOR INTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT 2006-2009 (current)

Areas of Action Efforts, broken down by area for action, are to focus on the following actions:

Economic

Diversification and

Integration, Trade

Liberalization, and

Market Access

Providing support to member states, particularly smaller economies, focusing on

those trade capacity-building priorities identified by member states in their national

strategy plans that fall within the areas of expertise of the OAS in order to build each

member state’s capacity to benefit from trade and promote economic growth, job

creation, and poverty reduction

Providing support to the economic integration and trade processes at the

hemispheric, regional, subregional and/or bilateral levels, as agreed upon among our

respective authorities responsible for trade in the Hemisphere; and strengthening

horizontal and inter-institutional cooperation, including through the OAS-IDB-

ECLAC Tripartite Committee;

Providing support to member states aimed at promoting a dialogue with civil society

on trade and economic integration.

Promoting cooperation to support activities that enhance the competitiveness of

member states, particularly those with smaller economies, including a multilateral

policy dialogue on the issue of competitiveness and the promotion of public-private

partnerships.

Promoting and supporting actions to facilitate the participation of micro, small, and

medium-sized enterprises in domestic markets and international trade, and

coordinating efforts in this direction, when pertinent, with the World Bank, the IDB,

and other regional development banks; and supporting the SME Congress of the

Americas and encouraging wider participation in this initiative, stressing the

importance of opening new markets for the goods and services of small and

medium-sized enterprises (SME);

Continuing, through the Foreign Trade Information System (SICE), to provide trade

maintaining the FTAA public Website and managing, as a member of the Tripartite

Committee, the Document Distribution Service (DDS).

Scientific

Organization’s multisectoral approach to reducing the impact of natural and man-

Venezuela reiterates the content of its reservations to the FTAA formulated in the Declarations

and Plans of Action of the Summit of the Americas (paragraph 15 of the Declaration of Quebec

City and paragraph 6-A of the Plan of Action; and paragraph 12 of the Declaration of Nuevo
