stipulated in the Annexes of MOU would be reviewed by the Participating
Member States after the ACTS post implementation review.
(iv) Malaysias position which is ready to proceed with the MOU provided that
Thailand agrees to reconsider their position (a) to include Bangkok as the
point of destination/departure in the ACTS Pilot and (b) to allow empty
Malaysian-registered (un-laden) transport vehicles issued with ASEAN Good
Vehicle Cross Border Permit (Permit) to start ACTS operation from
Thailand for delivery to Singapore.
(v) Affirmation from Thailands National Transit Transport Coordinating
Committee (NTTCC) on its decision to allow Sadao Customs House as the
point of departure and destination. Thailand would like to assess the
outcome of the ACTS pilot, including safety and security aspects, before
reconsider Thailands position on the point of departure/destination.
(vi) Singapores suggestion for the MOU to be a non-legally binding document
among the Participating Member States noting that the AFAFGIT Protocols
1, 2, and 7 are not yet fully ratified and therefore the MOU should not pre-
empt the commitments of the ASEAN Member States as stipulated in those
protocols.
Para 74: The Meeting noted information from ASEAN Secretariat that the aim of
the MOU is to facilitate the implementation of ACTS Pilot Testing and therefore it
should not be too much constrained by the status of its legality and the legal
procedures to finalise the MOU. ASEAN Secretariat also informed the Meeting on
the end of timeline of ARISE support by May 2017, and therefore, efforts must be
done to complete the ACTS Pilot Testing before this date.
Para 75: With regard to the issue on the point of departure and destination in
Thailand to be included in the ACTS Pilot, the Meeting requested both Malaysia
and Thailand to continuously discuss to resolve this issue and provide updates
on the outcomes of their bilateral discussion to ASEAN Secretariat by early 2017.
Para 76: Noting the importance of the MOU for the ACTS Pilot, the Meeting also
urged Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore to reach common understanding and
solution on the pending issues for timely signing of the MOU on the
Operationalisation of the Pilot Project for the Implementation of ACTS before the
ACTS Live Run phase.
