Trade groups including the Philexport and Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) have renewed their objection to a Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) order prescribing the registration and monitoring of containers.
TRADE groups including the Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc. and Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry have renewed their objection to a Philippine Ports Authority order prescribing the registration and monitoring of containers, noting that such pads the “undue cost burdens” of business and consumers amid runaway inflation and container delays.
The groups said the order will only bring a “regulatory burden” to all affected stakeholders while violating the Ease of Doing Business law. PPA AO-2021 sets the policy for the registration and monitoring of containers entering and leaving PPA ports, including the scheduling, loading, unloading, release and movement of all containers.
Among the objectives of PPA AO 04-2021 that the groups oppose is how the Authority will supposedly simplify procedures and remedy port congestion through an electronic monitoring system for container movement. The groups said they were also met with “similar suspicion” that the policy will reduce the transport cost of goods, adding that the container monitoring by PPA will rather “further inflate costs.”
The groups have recommended that for information gathering purposes, “PPA should make sure its systems are interoperable with those of the BOC, trade department and other stakeholders.”
