E-commerce negotiators advance work, discuss development and data issues

Participants in the negotiations on e-commerce discussed development-related proposals and data flow issues at their 27-30 March meetings. Members sought convergence on several topics, with a call from the co-convenors of the negotiations — Australia, Japan and Singapore —for more flexibility, creativity and leadership to help drive convergence and conclude negotiations by the end of 2023. The co-convenors also outlined principles underpinning the legal architecture for a future agreement on e-commerce.
