Švédská vláda ustavila ombudsmana pro exportéry z rozvojových zemí

29.4.2004 - STOCKHOLM (MZV Švédského království ) - Plenty of competitive entrepreneurs in developing countries cant enter our market because they face lots of regulations, many of which are complicated and difficult to grasp. This must change.

That is what Minister for Industry and Trade Leif Pagrotsky and Minister for International Development Cooperation Carin Jämtin say in a joint comment in connection with the Governments decision today to establish a special contact point for exporters from developing countries. The contact point will assist entrepreneurs in developing countries who want to export to Sweden and the EU by providing advice and information.

In recent decades there has been a steady decline in the share of total world trade taken by the developing countries and by the very poorest countries in particular. One reason may be the complex systems of rules that are in place in rich countries.

This is an important part of the Governments policy for global development. A trade ombudsman is a concrete way of promoting economic growth in developing countries, thereby reducing poverty, says Carin Jämtin.

This is a way of making life easier for entrepreneurs in developing countries while, at the same time, not denying Swedish consumers broader and better choice, notes Leif Pagrotsky.

The contact point will be placed at the National Board of Trade and is planned to open in the autumn as Open Trade Gate Sweden.
