Business Model of the Mauritius
Single Window
• Joint venture functioning 100% as a private concern
• Equity (± USD 1 million) provided by shareholders
• Self-sustainability perspective right from the start
• Activities financed from 2 sources:
• a software single-user licence of $ 1300
• a service fee of USD 5.- per declaration
• Highly successful and profitable activity:
• share value multiplied by eight since 1994
• yearly dividends = ± 90% of funds invested

International Trade & Digital Information
• Exchange of information - covers the entire trade
transaction process
• Trade documents are the core means of
exchanging information
• Goods cannot move faster than the information
that controls them
• There are increasing requirements for just-in-time
delivery, approved supply chains etc
• Added impact of security measures on information
requirements (ACI, 24 hour rule etc)
UN/CEFACT
Paper Document Standards
The United Nations Layout Key
• First started in the 1950s
• During 60s & 70s the UN Layout Key (UNLK)
was in use in many countries worldwide through
the work of UNECE & UNCTAD
• In 1978 the UNLK Recommendation had gained
world-wide acceptance and was re-named, the:
United Nations Layout Key for Trade Documents
(Recommendation No 1 - ISO 6422)

4. A Roadmap Towards Paperless Trade
UN/CEFACT
“A Roadmap towards Paperless Trade”
The Executive Forum is invited to:
• Review the draft Roadmap
• Assess the current state of implementation
• Take stock of experience & lessons learned, to:
• Identify steps that governments & business need
to take to change to paperless
UN/CEFACT
What is a Roadmap?
It is a tool to facilitate the passage from the
current situation to a future commonly agreed
objective, the implementation of paperless trade.
UN/CEFACT
What are the issues?
• Benefits: who benefits & how?
• Costs: what are the costs & who will pay?
• Policy & Strategy considerations
- Time frame & process
- Role of governments
- Scope of Paperless Trade
- Trade Facilitation & Open Standards
UN/CEFACT
What are the next steps for the Roadmap?
The Roadmap is not a negotiated text. It is a living
document to establish a framework, based on
agreed objectives, which:
• Includes the input of previous Workshops
• Will include comments & recommendations from the
Executive Forum on Paperless Trade
• Will provide an initial “simple tool” for the
implementation of paperless trade
• Could provide thematic input into the World Summit
on the Information Society (WSIS), Tunis - Nov ‘05
UN/CEFACT
Development of the Roadmap
The Roadmap will be further developed
during the course of the Executive Forum
& will be reviewed in the closing Round
Table:
“Creating an enabling Environment to make
Paperless Trade a Reality”
..and will then be forwarded to UN/CEFACT
for consolidation & circulation.
