Evaluación de la aplicación de la facilitación del comercio en la era del comercio electrónico: análisis comparativo de Jordania, Omán y Hong Kong, China
El surgimiento del comercio electrónico está impulsando importantes cambios en las formas de realizar operaciones de comercio internacional. Ha quedado claro que las mejoras en la aplicación de la facilitación del comercio deben estar respaldadas por sistemas electrónicos. A través del estudio comparativo de una serie de informes publicados por organizaciones internacionales— la Unión Internacional de Telecomunicaciones (UIT), la Organización de Cooperación y Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE), la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Comercio y Desarrollo (UNCTAD) y el Banco Mundial— sobre temas de comercio electrónico, logística y facilitación del comercio, analizamos la situación y el desempeño de Jordania, Omán y Hong Kong, China. Sobre la base de este análisis, Hong Kong, China registra una de las mejores prácticas en cuanto a medidas de facilitación del comercio y aduaneras modernas, y hemos constatado que la voluntad de las instituciones gubernamentales contribuye a agilizar las disposiciones relativas a la facilitación del comercio. Jordania y Omán emprendieron recientemente reformas para mejorar la facilitación del comercio, pero aún deben colmar la brecha que existe entre la política y la práctica en todas las organizaciones gubernamentales en materia de facilitación del comercio y comercio electrónico, así como crear capacidades para los ciudadanos. Al mejorar la aplicación de las medidas de facilitación del comercio y aumentar la capacidad de comercio electrónico tal y como lo ha hecho Hong Kong, China, Jordania y Omán lograrán una prosperidad comercial impulsada por la economía digital mundial.

Assessing trade facilitation implementation in the era of e-commerce: a comparative analysis of Jordan, Oman and Hong Kong, China
The emergence of e-commerce is driving important changes in the ways of conducting international trade. It has become clear that improvements in trade facilitation implementation should be supported by electronic systems. Through a comparative study of a number of reports issued by international organizations – the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the World Bank – on topics of e-commerce, logistics and trade facilitation, we examined the status and performance of Jordan, Oman and Hong Kong, China. Based on this analysis, Hong Kong, China, shows one of the best practices of modern trade facilitation and customs, and we found that governmental willingness is influential in expediting trade facilitation provisions. Jordan and Oman recently made trade reforms to improve trade facilitation, but they still need to bridge the gap between policy and actual practice in all governmental organizations in terms of trade facilitation and e-commerce, as well as build citizens’ capacity. By improving the implementation of trade facilitation measures and increasing e-commerce capacity as Hong Kong, China
