At P1R1, deemed met with delay and completed in March 2006, with the computer/electronic system installed and successfully tested during the first quarter of 2006. At P1R2, "operation of the system has been delayed due to technical flaws, lack of adequate external assistance, and limited implementation capacity" (EBS/07/55, paragraph 17). Since P1R2, the authorities have handed over management of key elements of their port and customs reform to the US-funded MCA-Benin program. Under the latter, a study of the effectiveness of customs was completed in December 2007. The fourth mission will discuss the study's conclusions/recommendations and related action plan, including a timetable for addressing the problems that have so far prevented satisfactory operation of the centralized clearing and invoicing management system at the port of Cotonou.

At P1R1, deemed met with delay and completed in March 2006, with the computer/electronic system installed and successfully tested during the first quarter of 2006.  At P1R2, "operation of the system has been delayed due to technical flaws, lack of adequate external assistance, and limited implementation capacity" (EBS/07/55, paragraph 17).  Since P1R2, the authorities have handed over management of key elements of their port and customs reform to the US-funded MCA-Benin program. Under the latter, a study of the effectiveness of customs was completed in December 2007. The fourth mission will discuss the study's conclusions/recommendations and related action plan, including a timetable for addressing the problems that have so far prevented satisfactory operation of the centralized clearing and invoicing management system at the port of Cotonou.
