In March 2017, the European Union (EU) and the Secretariat for Central American Economic Integration (SIECA) signed the Central American Regional Economic Integration Project (INTEC). In March 2018, SIECA signed with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) the Technical Cooperation Agreement ATN / ER-16366-RG, for the execution of Component II of INTEC under the standards and supervision of the IDB in the administration of the resources oriented to the PDCC.

The INTEC project, in line with the Central American Strategy for Trade Facilitation and Competitiveness (ECFCC), the Roadmap for the Central American Customs Union, the Framework Agreement for the Establishment of the Central American Customs Union and the Agreement on Trade Facilitation of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and with a view to maximizing the benefits of the Association Agreement between the European Union and Central America (AA EU / CA – AACUE), supports the facilitation of trade and the commercial capacities of the Central American region to through three components:

• Modernization and convergence of the regional regulatory framework: implementation of the commitments of the AdA EU / CA – AACUE and the Roadmap for the Central American Customs Union,
• Regional technological infrastructure for trade facilitation: Central American Trade Platform (PDCC),
• Strengthening of the Central American capacity to trade goods and services, in order to take advantage of the AdA UE / CA AACUE.

The Comprehensive Regional Risk Management System (SGIRR) is a mechanism that derives from and is complementary to the operation of the Central American Digital Platform of Commerce (PDCC) through which the foreign trade information of the countries is made available to the region and can be used to facilitate trade using mechanisms based on artificial intelligence, machine learning and other data analysis methods, for prevention and mitigation of threats in trade processes in Central America.
The SGIRR is an independent but complementary mechanism with the PDCC, with connectivity to systems in Central American countries that have systems to perform risk management or foreign trade systems in the region, in addition to facilitating necessary tools for countries that do not have systems for this purpose.
