The Task Force was created in 1992 to improve international cooperation in the collection, processing and dissemination of international merchandise trade statistics. It is convened by the World Trade Organization and gathers specialists of International Merchandise Trade Statistics from Eurostat, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United Nations Statistics Division, the UN Conference on Trade and Development, and the UN Regional Commissions. Its work strives to facilitate reporting by merchandise trade statistics compilers on one hand and, on the other, to improve data quality, timeliness, coverage and consistency amongst various international data providers. The Task Force meets annually. Download the minutes of the Task Force meetings.
