Black Sea Trade Roundtable — Bucharest

Scoping session for the Black Sea Trade Corridor Initiative — customs, logistics, and digital trade documents.

About this event

The Bucharest scoping session opens the Black Sea Trade Corridor Initiative. The day is structured around three working questions: where customs harmonisation has already happened in practice, where digital trade-document pilots could move first, and which port-to-port logistics corridors warrant a coordinated infrastructure conversation.

Output: a public scoping note that defines the project's first eighteen months of work.
