| |At the meeting, an inaugural session, three plenary sessions, the meetings of the Executive Board Subcommittees, and a closing |

| |session were held. |

| | |

| |1. Inaugural Session |

| |The inaugural session was held at 19:30 on December 3, 2001, and was attended by Mr. Sergio Grullón, Minister of the Presidency;|

| |Mrs. Minerva Kasalinovo, representative of the Vice President of the Dominican Republic; Mr. Rafael Supercova, Minister of |

| |Tourism; Mr. Aníbal García, President of the Dominican Port Authority; Dr. Mario Montemurro, Second Vice Chair of the Executive |

| |Board and delegate of Uruguay; and Dr. Carlos M. Gallegos, Secretary of the CIP. |

| |Mr. Aníbal García expressed the pleasure of the Dominican Port Authority at hosting the meeting. He mentioned the common needs |

| |of the ports of the Americas, saying that they need to adapt to meet the challenges of the 21st century. He expressed his thanks|

| |to the Inter-American Committee on Ports of the OAS for making it possible to transmit the experiences of the more developed |

| |ports to those that are in the process of modernization. He highlighted progress made in modernization of the Dominican port |

| |system and drew attention to the technical assistance and cooperation received from various member countries in this process. |

| |Finally he expressed a cordial welcome to the delegates and mentioned the tourist attractions that his country has to offer to |

| |its visitors. |

| |Dr. Mario Montemurro said that it was a privilege to come to this beautiful country in order to define the tasks to be carried |

| |out over the next two years by both the Executive Board, and the Technical Advisory Groups, for the purpose of strengthening |

| |port systems in the hemisphere. He underscored the role of the OAS and the active participation of its member countries, which |

| |since 1956, under what was then the Inter-American Port Conference, have been for the benefit of port systems. He recalled the |

| |1990’s, when the Conference was reactivated and the modernization of most of the port institutions in the hemisphere began. He |

| |said that fruitful work has been done over the past 45 years that has been strengthened in recent years through the close |

| |collaboration of the member countries, which have made available their best experts and specialists to help provide solutions |

| |for port-related issues, particularly in the new context of the globalized economy. He underlined the importance of the Summits |

| |of the Americas, where the OAS has adopted a preponderant role in the creation of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). He|

| |mentioned that this has led the port issue to become more important to the needs of sustained economic and social development, |

| |and stressed the importance of ports in the whole supply/demand logistics chain, going from way stations for the exchange of |

| |goods and modes of transport, to poles of development that provide value-adding services. Finally, he thanked the authorities of|

| |the Dominican Republic for having sponsored this meeting. |

| |Mr. Rafael Supercova recalled that the Dominican Republic was the country where the Spanish civilization first settled; where |

| |the first university, the first cathedral, and the first ports in the Americas were founded. He urged the delegates to include |

| |in their discussions the issue of tourism, insofar as ports and passenger ships are concerned. Finally, he highlighted the |

| |virtues of his country, expressed his gratitude that it had been chosen as the venue for this meeting, and wished it a |

| |successful outcome. |

| |Dr. Carlos M. Gallegos transmitted the greeting of the Secretary General of the OAS, Dr. César Gaviria, and his wishes for the |

| |success of the meeting. He mentioned the disruption of world peace since September 11 last, and the need to strengthen integral |

| |security in ports and to combat international terrorism jointly and on a mutually supportive basis. He referred to the meeting |

| |of the Committee of September last, where its Plan of Action for 2002-2003 was approved, mentioning the main strategic issues. |

| |He said that it was the task of the Executive Board to identify specific programs and activities to be covered by the |

| |Subcommittees and the TAGs, in order to implement that plan. He mentioned the critical state of the world economy, the rise in |

| |unemployment, and the low GDP levels, all of which will have a negative impact on the development of the member countries unless|

| |priority is given to reverting the current situation through a substantial increase in international trade, where the ports must|

| |play a pivotal role. He spoke also about the recently created Inter-American Agency for Cooperation and Development (IACD) of |

| |the OAS, whose purpose is to supervise the supply of technical cooperation and training to promote sustainable social and |

| |economic development in the member countries. Lastly, he thanked the Government of the Dominican Republic, in particular its |

| |Port Authority, for the remarkable effort made to make this meeting a reality. |

| |Finally, Mr. Sergio Grullón, in representation of the President of the Dominican Republic, Doctor Hipólito Mejía, expressed a |

| |warm welcome to the delegations present and underscored the special significance of the event for the Dominican port |

| |authorities. He explained the importance of the port system to his country’s economy as a supporting factor of foreign trade, |

| |for which reason a modernization program is being implemented, which will improve levels of efficiency and performance in the |

| |different ports. Next, he asked the delegations present to introduce themselves, and he offered to each, in turn, a special |

| |greeting. Then he proceeded to declare the Third Meeting of the Executive Board of the CIP officially open and wished success |

| |for its discussions. |

| | |

| |2. First Plenary Session |

| |The first plenary session came to order at 9:00 on December 4, 2001, and was chaired by Mr. Hugo Cruz, principal delegate of |

| |Mexico and First Vice Chair of the Executive Board. The following items on the agenda were discussed: |

| |Approval of the agenda (item 1 on the agenda) |

| |The meeting examined the Draft Agenda contained in document CECIP/doc.3/01 and, after deleting Item 14, regarding the Panama |

| |Canal and its current administration, owing to the absence of the speaker, proceeded to approve the agenda, which is included as|

| |section III of this report. |

| | |

| |Report from the CIP Secretariat (item 2 on the agenda) |

| |The Secretary of the CIP reported on the main activities conducted by the Committee and the Executive Board in 2001. He |

| |underscored the accomplishments of the Second Meeting of the CIP (Costa Rica, September 2001), principal among which were the |

| |adoption of the Agreement on Cooperation and Mutual Assistance among Inter-American Port Authorities; approval of the Rules of |

| |Procedure of the Executive Board and of the Technical Advisory Groups, respectively; approval of the official CIP logotype; |

| |evolution of the port training program carried out, by which training was provided to more than 500 port officials in the |

| |Americas. He then expressed his recognition for the efforts of the chairs of the TAGs to launch these new cooperation |

| |mechanisms. He acknowledged the support that the private business sector has been providing in these tasks and the growing |

| |number of companies that are associating themselves with the TAGs. He also referred to the approval of the Plan of Action of the|

| |CIP for 2002-2003. He underscored the need for the Executive Board to proceed at this meeting to identify and propose concrete |

| |measures and to detail the activities and studies that have to be carried out in the course of the year, in order to implement |

| |the Plan of Action of the CIP (document CECIP/doc.6/01). |

| |Report from the Chair of the Subcommittee on Policy and Coordination (item 3 on the agenda) |

| |Mr. Jorge Abramian, delegate of Argentina and Chair of the Subcommittee, presented the report on activities conducted during the|

| |year. He asked the delegations entrusted with specific issues to present the results of their labors. The following items were |

| |covered: |

| |a. Follow-up on the FTAA and other integration processes |

| |Dr. Mario Montemurro, delegate of Uruguay, made a presentation on the progress of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) |

| |over the past year. He said that four basic areas had been identified whose development it was deemed advisable to keep under |

| |observation in advance of 2005, by which time the FTAA is set to be fully operational. These areas are: the opening-up of |

| |markets; development of trade and services; the increase in volumes of merchandise traffic; and, requirements in the area of new|

| |port infrastructure. He described progress in the application of new communications technologies and the tendency to regard |

| |ports as poles of development in the logistics chain, which makes it necessary to address the issue from this perspective |

| |(document CECIP/doc.18/01). |

| |Mr. Julio Peña, delegate of Venezuela reported on progress in maritime and port matters in the Andean Community of Nations (CAN)|

| |in the framework of the Andean Committee of Aquatic Transport Authorities (CAATA), inter alia: the development of a single |

| |position on aquatic policies; the amendments to decision 487 of that forum, on Maritime Guarantees and Preventive Embargo on |

| |Ships; the project on Andean traffic; the study on the development of two hub ports; review of the new proposals on carrier’s |

| |responsibility in the UNCTAD door to door project. He also mentioned the agreement to present a single Andean position at the |

| |fora of the FTAA and the World Trade Organization (WTO) on the Regional Infrastructure Integration of South-America Initiative |

| |and the eight topics it covers, most notably ports and the initiative on integration of telecommunications and of maritime |

| |transport. He suggested the need for the Secretariat to conduct follow-up on the last point, saying that this initiative has |

| |also been favorably received by the Andean Development Corporation (CAF), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and |

| |FONPLATA, and will be evaluated in the near future by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the OAS members states. |

| |Mr. Alfonso Breuillet, delegate of the Central American Commission of Maritime Transport (COCATRAM), said that the six Central |

| |American countries have agreed on a series of measures, inter alia, highway integration projects, modernization of maritime |

| |transport, acceleration of the Plan Puebla Panama, drafting of nautical charts, and trade corridors between Nicaragua/Honduras |

| |and El Salvador/Honduras. He also referred to the Central American coastal shipping services project, which linked international|

| |transport routes and has hub ports in Mexico and Panama. He mentioned the port modernization methods geared toward a "landlord" |

| |concession system, for which purpose it has been found that a port law is needed to offer more security to investors. He |

| |underscored the need to speed up ship-port procedures and to draw up an environmental agenda for ports that takes account of all|

| |these aspects ahead of the arrival of the FTAA. |

| |Mr. Everton Walters, delegate of Barbados, mentioned the problems faced by the countries of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), |

| |owing to their relatively low development, in tackling the difficulty of implementing international multimodal transport |

| |standards. He said that these standards affect the norms and development of maritime ports, for which reason he thought it |

| |advisable for the CIP to focus efforts on preventing negative effects on the region arising from the opening-up of markets which|

| |the FTAA will cause. |

| |b. Relations with the European Union (EU) |

| |The Secretariat presented document CECIP/doc.13/01, which reports on relations with the EU and on the results of the mission to |

| |Brussels, headquarters of the EU, in May 2001, to identify mechanisms for raising non-reimbursable cooperation resources to |

| |finance projects for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. He mentioned the need for the countries officially to unite |

| |in order to apply for those resources, to which end it was essential to sign a memorandum of understanding with the EU. He said |

| |that the CIP could only act as coordinator, channeling information and procedures, and that relations between the country (or |

| |group of countries) and the EU cooperation office have to be direct. He stressed the excellent relations with Spain, |

| |particularly with Puertos del Estado (State Ports of Spain), which have made it possible for the training courses in port |

| |engineering and management to continue. He mentioned that fellowships for the master’s degree course and internships had been |

| |secured through IPEC of Valencia. Finally, he spoke of the memorandum of understanding signed with the Shipping Transport |

| |College of Rotterdam. |

| |c. Approval of the Rules of Procedure of the Executive Board and of the Technical |

| |Advisory Groups |

| |The Secretariat described the approval by the Committee of the Rules of Procedure of the Executive Board and of the Rules of |

| |Procedure of the Technical Advisory Groups, as a result of which both took effect as of September 2001. |

| |d. Report on the Evaluation of the Technical Advisory Groups |

| |The Chair informed the meeting that the Committee had favorably evaluated the activities of the three TAGs (Port Operations, |

| |Port Security, and Navigation Safety and Environmental Protection) conducted during 2000-2001 and, therefore, had extended their|

| |mandate for two more years. Accordingly, he proposed that the evaluation corresponding to 2001, which the Committee had |

| |partially conducted in advance last September, be based on the reports that their respective chairs shall present at the |

| |meetings of each TAG, which were going to be held immediately after this meeting concludes. This would avoid a repeat |

| |presentation of the same report. This proposal was thus approved by the meeting. |

| |e. Approval of the Agreement on Cooperation and Mutual Assistance among |

| |Inter-American Port Authorities |

| |The Secretariat reported that the Agreement on Cooperation and Mutual Assistance among Inter-American Port Authorities was |

| |approved by acclamation at the Second Meeting of the CIP (Costa Rica, September 2001). The member countries of the OAS may agree|

| |to be bound by this agreement in the three ways provided at Article 21, which are: (a) by signing, not subject to ratification, |

| |acceptance, or adoption; (b) by signing subject to ratification, acceptance, or adoption; and (c) by accession thereto. |

| |In that connection the Secretariat presented document CECIP/doc.17/01, which says that on the aforesaid occasion the principal |

| |delegates of Antigua and Barbuda, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, Suriname, and Uruguay signed the Agreement, but that it was left |

| |pending that those members states would inform General Secretariat of the OAS under which modality the signing by their |

| |government should be considered. Finally, he mentioned that the Agreement was open for the signatures of the other member |

| |countries at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the OAS in Washington, DC. Resolution CECIP/RES.4 (III-01) was later|

| |adopted in this respect. |

| |f. CIP magazine project |

| |The Secretariat informed that the Subcommittee on Policy and Coordination had decided to study the possibility of regularly |

| |producing a magazine on the Inter-American Committee on Ports as the official organ to publicize and promote its activities. The|

| |delegation of Argentina had been entrusted with presenting a project proposal but had been unable to carry out the task in time |

| |for this occasion. The chair proposed to reiterate the request to that delegation to continue with so important a project. |

| |Report from the Chair of the Subcommittee on Port Training (item 4 on the agenda) |

| |Mrs. Doris Bautch, delegate of the United States and Chair of the Subcommittee, asked for a minute’s silence to pay posthumous |

| |homage to Messrs. Fred Marrone and James Romito, training instructors of the port security program and representatives of the |

| |Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, who were victims of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001. Afterwards, she |

| |proceeded to give an account of the training activities carried out during the year (document CECIP/doc.8/01). She mentioned the|

| |following activities: |

| |Course on Prevention and Control of Drug Trafficking on Vessels, Manzanillo, Mexico, June 26-28, 2001, with the cooperation of |

| |the International Maritime Organization (IMO). |

| |Sixth Ibero-American Port Management Course, Madrid, Spain, October 1-26, 2001, with the cooperation of Puertos del Estado of |

| |Spain. |

| |Second Ibero-American Port Engineering Course, Santander, Spain, October 1-26, 2001, with the cooperation of Puertos del Estado |

| |of Spain. |

| |Seminar-Workshop on Port Security and Protection, Montego Bay, Jamaica, December 3-7, 2001, with the cooperation of the IMO. |

| |She went on to say that the International Seminar-Workshop on Strategic Port Tariffs (Lima, Peru) and the Course on Maritime |

| |Engineering and Training for Pilots and Harbormasters (for Caribbean countries), had been postponed until the following year. |

| |She also mentioned that, with the collaboration of Barbados and the Secretariat, a questionnaire on detection of port training |

| |needs had been prepared for the member countries (document CECIP/doc.10/01). |

| |She mentioned the two fellowships granted by Instituto Portuario de Estudio y Cooperación (IPEC) of Valencia, Spain, for the |

| |Master’s Course in Port Management and Multimodal Transport, which she described as a major contribution to the accomplishment |

| |of the Subcommittee’s objectives. |

| |Next she reported on the proposal presented by the United States to the Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI) |

| |to hold four training courses on port security, to be carried out in 2002. Finally, she thanked the organizations that had made |

| |it possible to carry out the program this year. |

| | |

| |Report from the Chair of the Subcommittee on Port Administration (item 5 on the agenda) |

| |Mr. Alfonso Rodríguez, delegate of Panama and Chair of the Subcommittee, reported on the activities carried out during the year.|

| |He asked the representatives of the member countries responsible for the various topics to proceed with their reports (document |

| |CECIP/doc.5/01). These are as follows: |

| |Privatizations and port reforms |

| |The delegate of Argentina, Mr. Jorge Abramian, presented the results of the study on this topic (document CECIP/doc.23/01), |

| |which covers the legislation in force in the member countries; concession and privatization processes; public and private |

| |participation; port authority labor issues; automation and marketing; as well as historical reference material on the previous |

| |decade, the current situation, and trends for the short-term in this area. He mentioned that the information for the study was |

| |gleaned from replies to the questionnaire distributed to all the member countries. In the results, he said that 74% of the |

| |member countries have been engaged in a process of port reforms and modernization since 1990, and that 15% are currently in a |

| |phase of fine-tuning these processes. He said that there are countries that have not answered the survey, and, therefore, he |

| |urged compliance with the request that they do so, in order to complete and enhance the study. |

| |Ports for cruise ships |

| |The delegate of the Dominican Republic, Captain Salvador Montás, submitted a report on the preparation of the operating |

| |procedures manual for cruise ships in ports and presented the respective document (document CECIP/doc.11/01). He said that it |

| |had been prepared by collecting relevant information from various sources and it covers matters connected with administrative |

| |and operating procedures for merchant and cruise ships in ports, as well as different types of port indicators. He stressed that|

| |the document takes up recommendations contained in various international agreements on maritime and port activities, together |

| |with the recent safety standards that the U.S. Department of Transport is advocating following the terrorist attacks of |

| |September 11, 2001. |

| |Port Statistics |

| |The delegate of Mexico, Mr. Francisco Pastrana, informed that port statistics have been updated to 2000 only for the nine |

| |countries that sent their respective information on the form designed for that purpose. He mentioned that not all the countries |

| |had sent standardized information and that others do not use the designed form, which makes it difficult to obtain reliable |

| |statistics. He drew attention to the work done ECLAC in this area, saying that both sources are compatible and it would be |

| |advisable to merge their respective databases. Furthermore, he explained that in the Subcommittee Plan for 2002, it has been |

| |deemed prudent to progress further with this matter with a view to clarifying certain concepts and definitions, in order to help|

| |obtain adequate information in a timely manner. |

| |Mr. Gabriel Pérez, representative of ECLAC, said that the information they have and the design of the maritime profile are |

| |limited to the ports of Latin America and the Caribbean and that it would be advisable to have information on the ports of the |

| |United States and Canada. He mentioned the need to have an electronic form to collect the information, which would make it |

| |possible to input data in real time. He offered the cooperation of ECLAC to improve the databases and design the form, which was|

| |welcomed by the Committee. |

| |Port tariffs and financing |

| |The delegate of Mexico, Mr. Francisco Pastrana, reported that collection had begun of the various tariff models used by the |

| |different ports in the hemisphere. He said that for that purpose a form was designed and sent to all the member countries, but |

| |that so far replies had only been received from Canada, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. He urged |

| |the other countries to send their information as soon as possible. He mentioned the different methods, on which port tariffs are|

| |based, saying that tariffs could be charged for the use of port infrastructure or through other forms of regulation. He also |

| |referred to the royalties that port concessionaires are required to pay for the use of infrastructure, for which there are also |

| |different sources and parameters. He said that these findings will be included in the final report of the above-mentioned study.|

| |Port facilitation |

| |The delegate of Uruguay, Dr. Mario Montemurro, said that a series of problems have been detected in port-customs relations, |

| |which have been included in the report submitted to the Secretariat. He asked that special attention be accorded to the search |

| |for solutions to these problems in concert with customs authorities. |

| |The delegate of Brazil, Mr. Joâo Dentice, said that in his country a special effort had been implemented in this area, in which |

| |emphasis was placed on the development of e-commerce and the use of EDI. He said that in that regard a presentation had been |

| |which will be given at the second meeting of the TAG on Port Operations. |

| |The delegate of Venezuela, Mr. Julio Peña, informed that the recently enacted, new General Law on Ports has addressed the issue |

| |of port facilitation, broadens the powers of the Facilitation Committees, and makes way for the participation of port users in |

| |those committees. The new law also contains standards to harmonize procedures and use of information. Finally, he mentioned the |

| |Customs-Port Project which the Andean Community of Nations is implementing and the need for the CIP to monitor this area. |

| |Study of waterways |

| |Paraná-Paraguay Waterway |

| |The delegate of Argentina, Mr. Jorge Abramian, reported on progress made in this area over the past year. He provided statistics|

| |on ship traffic and freight movement. He also describe the new modes of transport that are in use used on each section of this |

| |waterway, saying that 500-ton barges are used on the Corumbá-Cáceres section; 1,500-ton barges on the Asunción-Santa Fé; and, |

| |deep draught vessels with greater capacity than the above modalities operate on the Santa Fé-Nueva Palmira section. |

| |Orinoco-Amazon Waterway |

| |The delegate of Venezuela, Mr. Julio Peña presented the evaluation of this waterway, highlighting the valuable support received |

| |from his government, which has placed an emphasis on multimodal transport development. He described the route along the |

| |Apure-Orinoco, which is navigable for 630 kilometers, as well as the Orinoco-Río Negro section, which is navigable for 330 |

| |kilometers and has a 12-meter draught. Further, he mentioned that all the interconnection works are underway and there |

| |construction has already been tendered out. He said that there is up-to-date information on this waterway on the Internet |

| |(.ve). |

| |Use of the coastline |

| |The delegate of Venezuela, Mr. Julio Peña highlighted the progress made by his country in this respect, saying that that |

| |progress had been incorporated in the new provisions that had been brought into effect in his country. He mentioned that the |

| |main areas of progress had to do with the concepts of the territorial space and geographical space where the coast and |

| |riverbanks join the land and the marine environments; including island territories and aquatic areas. He said that these |

| |provisions provide for a plan for the integral management of coastal areas, conceived as a multidisciplinary process, and |

| |outline the responsibilities of the different actors involved. Finally, he mentioned the creation under the Ministry of |

| |Infrastructure of a technical unit for coastal areas, which will create an organization plan for coastal areas, which will serve|

| |as a planning instrument for coastal development in his country. |

| |Quality control |

| |The delegate of Mexico, Mr. Francisco Pastrana, made a presentation of the progress made at several Mexican ports in this area. |

| |He referred to the project on the design of a uniform quality model being implemented jointly with Puertos del Estado of Spain, |

| |based on the Spanish model (EFQM), and that the latter serves as a template for the creation of the quality control scheme for |

| |the ports of the Americas. The delegate of Puertos del Estado of Spain, Carlos Ibarz, praised the efforts of the delegation of |

| |Mexico and said that this work should conclude soon and required more collaboration from the member countries. Finally, he |

| |suggested the creation of a working group that might be able to conduct its activities over the Internet. |

| |Dredging |

| |The delegate of Venezuela, Mr. Julio Peña, proceeded to provide an account of progress in this area. He said that as part of the|

| |study a survey had been prepared and distributed to the member countries, but that not all had replied to it. Based on this |

| |survey he outlined the current situation in the seven countries that have sent their information: Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, |

| |Nicaragua, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. He stressed how important it was to complete the study with the background data and |

| |information of the other countries, for which reason he urged the delegates to reply to the above-mentioned surveys so as to be |

| |able to disseminate the results and final conclusions of the study. |

| |j. Trade corridors |

| |The Secretariat informed that in accordance with Executive Board resolution CECIP/RES.8 (II-00), it joined the Advisory |

| |Committee of the Research and Training Program for Trade Corridor Development (PROCORREDOR) of the OAS Unit for Sustainable |

| |Development and Environment (USDE). The Secretariat also took part in the First Hemispheric Conference on Vulnerability |

| |Reduction of Trade Corridors to Natural Hazards, organized by the USDE and the Secretariat of Environment of Mendoza Province, |

| |Argentina (March 2001). On that occasion it also met with the Advisory Committee of PROCORREDOR in order to study, evaluate and |

| |propose solutions to problems associated with trade corridors in the Americas. He also said that the USDE and the CIP have held |

| |several meetings in Washington, D.C., with a view to harmonizing joint activities. An upshot of these activities is the training|

| |course on "Use of information on natural hazards in the design and evaluation of port infrastructure investment projects," which|

| |will be held in Central America in 2002 in cooperation with COCATRAM. Finally, the Secretariat reported that the CIP is |

| |determined to continue to strengthen cooperation with the PROCORREDOR program. |

| |Reports from the Chairs of the Technical Advisory Groups about their annual activities (item 6 on the agenda) |

| |Bearing in mind that last September the Committee extended the mandate of the three TAGs for two more years, and that the |

| |above-mentioned reports had to be submitted by the chairs at their respective meetings (which shall be held immediately after |

| |this meeting of the Executive Board concludes), the Chair of the Meeting proposed the following: To approve those reports a |
