Air Cargo Round Table Agenda for this session ICAO Presentation GSF Presentation Selection of priority topics Current engagement with international partners Round Table Discussion Topics of interest to shippers and ICAO

  1. Air Cargo Round Table • Agenda for this session – ICAO Presentation – GSF Presentation • Selection of priority topics • Current engagement with international partners – Round Table Discussion • Topics of interest to shippers and ICAO • Opportunities for closer engagement

  2. GSF Presentation • Contents: • Shipper priorities that require ICAO engagement – Security standards to keep the supply chain moving – Dangerous Goods – Lithium ion batteries case study – Climate Change – MBMs (discussed earlier) • Current international actions: GACAG • Improving relationship with ICAO

  3. Security – Helping supply chain efficiency • Shippers’ associations can support ICAO by promoting standards that aim to facilitate trade: Known Consignors, Regulated Agents, Consignment Security Declarations. • “The final objective is to have 100 per cent of cargo and mail secure before being loaded on to an aircraft” ICAO / WCO, Moving Air Cargo Globally

  4. Dangerous Goods: Lithium ion batteries • The ICAO National Council imposed an interim ban from 1 April 2016 on the carriage of all shipments of Lithium-ion batteries as cargo on passenger aircraft. • It will remain in force until ICAO working groups agree a new lithium- ion battery packaging performance standard, expected by 2018. • This ignored recommendations of the ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel in October 2015 to allow shipment on passenger aircraft if charged <30% of maximum & to limit to one package per consignment for certain types. • GSF View: – We support the DG Panel recommendations from 2015 – All parties should help address mis-declared shipments and counterfeits – ICAO should investigate screening equipment to detect LI batteries – More engagement with shippers would be helpful

  5. International cooperation: Formation of GACAG • GSF was a founder member of the Global Air Cargo Advisory Group (GACAG) in June 2011 with – International Air Transport Association (IATA), – International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA) – International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) to enhance the performance of the air cargo supply chain. • Goal is to align e ff orts and to improve the e ff ectiveness of our individual campaigning and lobbying activities

  6. Plans for GACAG activities 2016-17 • Encourage industry to adopt e-freight procedures in all areas where it is possible • Publicise standards that are already available for air cargo documents call on governments and regulators worldwide to support the adoption of e-Customs to facilitate e-freight • Implement an industry action plan for advance cargo information, particularly in aligning and use of existing standards within the World Customs Organization

  7. Closer working with ICAO • GSF has engaged with ICAO on a limited range of issues over the past year: Climate change and lithium ion batteries. • GSF met ICAO Secretary General Dr Fang Liu at the IATA World Cargo Symposium in Berlin in March 2016 and opened dialogue – Areas of mutual interest identified so far – include the development of an air cargo freight index, – cargo security and facilitation, – air cargo delays, – e-commerce and liberalisation of air cargo. • We are delighted to welcome ICAO to the GSF Annual Meeting for the first time!
