The Project establishes a platform for assessing the economic impact of the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and its Protocols (collectively, the ‘CTC’). A contact group has been formed to assist in matters relating to the CTC’s economic assessment.

In addition to compiling related research materials, several documents are being considered for this database, such as a framework discussion document for economic assessment of the CTC and guidelines for governmental economic impact and cost-benefit analysis of the CTC.
