Overview

The Business at OECD Expert Group on Anti-Illicit Trade allows businesses and the Business at OECD national federations to provide evidence-based and structured input to OECD activities on illicit trade. It provides business leadership and market insights through written comments on related OECD policy drafts, active participation in meetings of the OECD Task Force on Countering Illicit Trade (TF-CIT) and relevant OECD conferences, and co-hosts with relevant partners, as appropriate, events and projects on key issues for members.

2022-2024 PRIORITIES

  • Advance the joint TFCIT-AITEG work programme through innovative projects and dynamic public-private partnerships
  • Promote TFCIT to external stakeholders as a trusted source of reference on illicit trade and related economic security
  • Assist the OECD in the implementation of the OECD Recommendations on Enhancing Transparency in Free Trade Zones (FTZs) including the Code of Conduct for Clean FTZs
  • In a global context with increased e-commerce, assist the OECD in initiatives that seek to counter illicit trade through online markets
  • Work with Critical Sectors, Governments, NGOs and Other Key Players to Counter Illicit Trade and Harness Blockchain, AI, and Other Technologies
  • Support continued research and analytical papers on counterfeit (e.g. pharmaceuticals, alcohol, food, toys, electronics, and apparel and other Illicit goods) accompanied by policy recommendations
  • Partner with maritime, shipping, and intermodal transport sectors as a key area to prevent anti-illicit trade across supply chains.
  • Integrate corruption and money laundering/trade-based money laundering elements into the core work streams of the TFCIT
  • Support Regional TFCIT Dialogues in Strategic Markets and with national member organizations
  • Strengthen cooperation and coordination with other relevant diplomatic fora including EUIPO, G20/B20, APEC, WCO, INTERPOL, UNODC, and other inter-governmental organizations.
  • Support efforts to counter hubs of illicit trade and illicit economies that finance violence, conflicts, kleptocracy, authoritarianism, and that imperil global markets, peace and security.
  • Encourage OECD Council to institutionalize the TFCIT as a Part II programme in the OECD budget similar to the work of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and other ad hoc bodies and Council Working parties or committees on steel, shipbuilding, and chemicals.
