lead to efficient and transparent procedures contributing to promote trade facilitation and integrity. 8.4 Supporting Documents Principles for the management of supporting documents for international cross border trade have been defined by the Permanent Technical Committee of the WCO. This principle entail that supporting documents should not be requested at all in the first instance. However, if necessary for the release of goods at arrival, departure or transit, such documents should be possible to submit in a dematerialized format. These principles, as laid down by the WCO, should also be embraced by the SADC Member States. 9 Approach 9.1 Regional initiatives are predicated by decisions taken at the SCCC. Therefore it is imperative for the regional agenda to address and underpin such to facilitate the delivery of these decisions. The current regional approach is outlined in Annex A. A detailed project plan covering the full scope of regional initiatives concerning data exchange and transit management is contained in Annex C. 9.2 National initiatives undertaken by Member States will continue in their progress as these underpin the economic, social and fiscal needs of sovereign states. For purposes of oversight, the SADC Secretariat will monitor such national developments according to a specified survey. A template for such survey is contained in Annex D. 9.3 To ensure better understanding of the working and reporting of SADC, an organogram depicting all the structures and reporting channels is contained in Annex E. 10 Implementation and execution of the SADC ICT Strategy 10.1 The SADC ICT Strategy will be implemented by member states according to their level of readiness. The approach being followed under the WCO’s GNC Utility Block allows for implementation of SADC ICT Strategy on a bilateral and/or multilateral level by early adopters. 10 Draft SADC Customs ICT Strategy 2012 Page 10
