Handbook on eTIR Technical Specifications
The purpose of the eTIR technical specifications is to translate the eTIR functional specifications into technical requirements, architectures, guidelines, procedures and detailed descriptions of all messages exchanged between the eTIR international system and the eTIR stakeholders. This publication is relevant for all eTIR stakeholders (customs authorities, guarantee chains and holders) which need to interconnect their information systems with the eTIR international system. All aspects of these specifications must be considered as mandatory, unless specified otherwise. The scope of this publication is twofold: to define the technical aspects of the TIR international system and to define unambiguously how information is exchanged between the eTIR international system and the eTIR stakeholders.

Harnessing Blockchain for Sustainable Development
Prospects and Challenges
In an increasingly digitalized economy and society, the security and accountability of data transactions are critical elements for creating trust and enabling breakthrough innovations in the digital world. In this regard, blockchain technology could be a game-changer, with the potential to revolutionize processes from finance to pharmaceutical industries, from public services to humanitarian work and development aid. The blockchain serves as the base technology for cryptocurrency, enabling open (peer-to-peer), secure and fast transactions. It can be used in many applications that could contribute to sustainable development. This publication explores how blockchain is potentially a key technology in a new technological paradigm of increasing automation and integrating physical and virtual worlds. Similar moments in the past technological revolutions offered windows of opportunity for some developing countries to catch up and others to forge ahead. Therefore, governments of developing countries should seek to strengthen their innovation systems to strategically position themselves to benefit from this new wave of technological change.
