The Forum on Trade, Environment, & the SDGs (TESS) issued a statement on 12 April 2024 regarding the WTO Dialogue on Plastic Pollution (DPP), supporting the Ministerial Statement and work plan launched at MC13 and urging members to achieve concrete outcomes by MC14.

• TESS supports the DPP Ministerial Statement and its associated work plan, viewing the shared principles for cooperation as a basis for individual and collective initiatives to address plastic pollution.
• The DPP process is intended to complement and contribute to the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) process for an international legally binding instrument, aligning with the UNEA resolution's call for voluntary measures while negotiations continue.
• TESS emphasizes that the DPP should aim for pragmatic and effective outcomes by MC14, suggesting that the work plan's format and agenda be specifically designed to foster these results and that the factual compilation of policies and measures be updated periodically.
• TESS encourages members to ensure customs and environment authorities actively participate in the World Customs Organization (WCO) committee's review of Harmonized System (HS) amendments for the 2028 cycle, noting that progress here would constitute a concrete outcome for MC14.
