BACKGROUND
Since the establishment of the Green Customs Initiative, several fora have been used
to make it widely known in the Asia Region. The first phase of Green Customs
workshops focused mainly on awareness-raising at subregional or regional levels and
aimed at testing the draft Green Customs Training Guide. Regional workshops were
held, one of which in Thimphu, Bhutan, in October 2005, for some Asian countries.
The second phase of Green Customs Initiative promoted the inclusion of the Green
Customs module in national customs training curriculum. For this purpose, a Trainthe-Trainer workshop for World Customs Organization Regional Training Centres
was organized in Shanghai in May 2007. The Subregional Green Customs Workshop
was held in Bangkok on 5-7 September 2007 is the second of such kind of workshop.
Moreover, national Green Customs workshops have been organized in Ulaanbaatar,
Mongolia, April 2009; in Faridabad, India, May 2009, in Sravasti, Uttar Pradesh,
India, November 2009; in Male, Maldives, July 2010; and in Hanoi, Vietnam, August
2010. Countries in the region have recommended that the GCI workshop should be
organized more regularly and more focused on detection and investigation.
The situation in the PIC countries is somewhat different to that in other regions given
the more remote locations of the countries and numerous islands. These combined
with the often limited capacity of the enforcement agencies present some specific
challenges to combat illegal trade. This is the first sub-regional GCI workshop for PIC
countries (the GCI was introduced briefly at a Strategic Approach to International
Chemicals Management (SAICM) meeting in November 2007). The workshop
provided the opportunity for the Partners to raise awareness and provide some
detailed training as appropriate and also to promote more active communication and
information exchange to assist these countries in their enforcement efforts.
2
OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP
The workshop was an awareness raising on Green Customs Initiative. The issue of
training-the-trainer was also included to address the need of the participating
countries.
Emphasis was also given to cooperation between PIC Countries and MEA
Secretariats and their regional offices.
3
OVERIEW OF THE MEETING
The Pacific Islands Countries Green Customs Workshop was organized in parallel
with the 3rd Meeting of PIC Network Meeting of Ozone Officers on 23-25 May 2011.
The 1st Joint Meeting of Ozone Officers and Customs Officer of PIC was organized
back to back the above mentioned two meetings on 26-27 May 2011.
Following a general introduction to the issue of environmental crime and the Green
Customs initiative, the workshop proved the opportunity for the Partners to the Green
Customs Initiative to present an introduction to their organisations as well as some
more practical customs-focused aspects as well as the role of customs in
implementing the relevant Multilateral Environmental Agreements.
4
Some practical training was also carried out on CITES identification.
A number of communication and intelligence sharing mechanisms and capacity
building tools were described. The support provided by the WCO, RILO, Interpol and
the OCO was presented. The information exchange mechanisms created by the WCO
and Interpol were demonstrated. Specific e-learning modules designed for customs
officers were also discussed. It was announced by the WCO that all PIC customs
officers would be given access to the e-learning platform, even if the countries are not
WCO members.
It was also explained how UNEP and the Secretariats of the MEAs can provide
additional assistance, information and support to customs officers.
A copy of the Green Customs Guide and USB stick with comprehensive information
for customs on all the GCI partners organisations was provided to all participants.
Country experiences were discussed. It was clear that many PICs have not ratified all
the MEAS covered by GCI and in general the experience with MEAs within customs
is fairly low, with some exceptions – most were familiar with the Montreal Protocol
and CITES. It was agreed that improved cooperation and the national (inter-agency)
level and regional level was needed.
There were two break-out sessions where customs offices were able to discuss, in a
small group setting with the participation of the resources persons, issues of concern,
challenges and regional and national needs and to make some recommendations.
Alls participants were requested to fill in an evaluation questionnaire on the
proceedings of the workshop. A multi-answer quiz was given in the end of the
workshop to help understand how much the participants have understood about
related MEAs.
Local media, including television and newspapers, covered the meeting.
4
PARTICIPANTS
A joint opening session was organized for the Green Customs Workshop and the PIC
Ozone Network Meeting and the 1st Joint meeting of customs officers and ozone
officers for the PIC. The opening session was opened by H.E. Colonel Saumatua,

and H.E Vinod Kumar and the Indian High Commissioner. In the Green Customs
Workshop, Mr Nathaniel Tuiseke, Acting Head of Secretariat, Oceania Customs
Organisation, Mr. Hui FU, World Customs Organization, and Dr. Ezra Clark, UNEP

ANNEX 2: EVALUATION BY PARTICIPANTS
The following questionnaire was given to participants to evaluate the training course.
The responses are summarized as below:
11
Twenty evaluation forms were completed.
Between 85% and 100% of the responses were ‘excellent’ (scoring 5) or scoring four
for all of the questions. The responses to the main five questions are represented
graphically below. This is followed by a summary of the main additional points and
suggestions indicated by those participants that provided additional information.
Additional information

Presentations, discussions and materials
12
In general the additional information provided by the participants was very positive
and participants were very grateful for the training provided. The training on CITES
was specifically mentioned by several participants as being of great interest and
usefulness.
There was quite a contrast in the supplementary responses in relation to the level of
complexity of the presentations in that some officers found them to be too general and
simplistic, while others found them to be too complex. It was even mentioned by a
couple of participants that they were not familiar with the Montreal Protocol (which
after years of customs training on the issues is a bit surprising). One officer requested
more specific information on how to implement MEAs at the border.
Participants were grateful for the materials provided (GCI Guide, USB stick with GCI
materials, etc) and one participant suggested it would be better if these were provided
ahead of the meeting.
The discussion group sessions were particularly appreciated, but many mentioned it
would be useful to have more time for discussion and to give more opportunities for
sharing of experiences from participating countries.
Some officers suggested some more practical sessions would be useful, and more time
overall would be an advantage.
It was also suggested that the meeting allowed for participants and resource persons
spend more time on analysing the pre-meeting survey (on Basel, Rotterdam,
Stockholm implementation)
 Composition
It was generally recognised that the composition of the participants and presenters
was appropriate and effective. There was a suggestions made by several officers that
inclusion of higher level customs officers would be useful.
 Follow up
Follow up training was suggested by many officers, some specifying that continuity
should be assured by invitation the same officers to enable them to further develop
their skills and knowledge.
 Other
Field visits and sightseeing(!) should also be arranged.
