Technical Cooperation and Capacity Building. The chapter sets out a framework for technical cooperation and capacity building to enhance trading and investment opportunities arising under the FTA. It aims to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ the competitiveness of goods and services and contribute to sustainable development by strengthening human and institutional capacities. It sets out the methods and means for delivering technical assistance and includes a non-exhaustive list of areas of cooperation. It also establishes contact points for cooperation. The chapter provides a basis for information sharing and cooperation between the Parties to enhance the ability of SMEs to benefit from the FTA. These commitments come on top of other provisions beneficial for SMEs across the FTA. The obligation on information sharing ensures that the Parties publish a wide set of trade and other business-relevant information for SMEs on publicly and freely accessible websites, to a large extent also in English. This commitment is complemented by an article on cooperation, which is to be channelled through dedicated SME contact points. Taking into account SMEs’ specific needs in the implementation of the FTA, the Parties shall seek to cooperate among others on policy experiences, as well as on any matter brought to their attention by their SMEs in their trade and investment activities.
