In the spirit of commitment to regional cooperation and in order to facilitate the active participation of all WGTC members, the host country has offered to defray local costs of the meeting, including participants' accommodation, meals and the venue.

In addition, a grant of USD 10.000 has been allocated to Experts from the least developed Latin American countries. Delegates interested in benefiting from this facility are kindly invited to write to SELA (jacuna@sela.org) and to UNCTAD (valentina.rivas@unctad.org) no later than 15 August 2013.
