i) The host country/project company selected an independent consultant of world recognized competence in the particular field involved to conduct the feasibility study of the projects;

ii) On completion of the feasibility study, the project company selects an independent consultant to prepare the tender documents; and

iii) The project company bids out the tenders for the project, including financing, on an internationally competitive basis.

e) The new alternative procedures to undertake ASEAN Industrial Projects (AlPs).

a) There is a need for a regular exchange of information among the member countries on their respective long-term.industrial plans and programmes, with the view to seeking better cooperation in the economic field. With regard to the mechanism to implement this proposl, the Meeting agreed to recommend to the AEM that meetings of Boards of investment representatives of the member countries be convened on a regular basis as a vehicle for this exchange. The reports of these meetings of board be sub mitted to COIME wh. in turn will transmit the same to the ASEAN Economic Ministers on Industry.

b) Industrial cooperation should be focussed on areas where national interests are convergent, particularly in basic and upstream industries;

c) The participation of all five ASEAN countries in future ASEAN Industrial Project (AlPs) would no longer be required. However, non-participating countries should be consulted to ensure that their respective national interests are not adversely affected with the decision to proceed with an ASEAN project;

d) The private sector should be encouraged to participate actively towards greater intra-ASEAN investments. The projects undertaken by the private sector, decisions involving financing and location should be left to their own discretion. In this regard, the Meeting agreed on the need to facilitate the formulation of guidelines of ASEAN joint Venture Projects as proposed by the ASEAN-CCI as well as the need to intensify dialogues between ASEAN governments and private sectors. The Meeting further supported the proposal that a list of new products which are not yet manufactured in ASEAN countries should be formulated. These product shall be eligible for special tariff preferences vithin the PTA scheme to encourage private sector investments in these areas;
