The DAG operates as a forum and has neither legal status nor its own stamp and bank account. It will operate in a self-financing mechanism.
The DAG has the function and task of collecting and presenting viewpoints, making recommendations, advice and feedback relating to the implementation of the chapter on trade and sustainable development in the EVFTA.
Those viewpoints and recommendations will be submitted to the EVFTA’s Committee on Trade and Sustainable Development.
Members of the DAG Viet Nam are associations, non-governmental organisations and non-profit organisations of Viet Nam, which operate legally in Viet Nam and represent legitimate interests related to trade and sustainable development in Viet Nam.
The list of members of DAG Viet Nam issued in the decision’s appendix comprises the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), the Institute for Workers and Trade Unions under the Viet Nam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) and the Centre for Sustainable Rural Development.
