The WTO E-commerce Joint Statement Initiative in the run-up to MC13
The participants of the E-commerce JSI process are aiming to conclude negotiations in 2024, with the objective of reaching agreement on as many issues as possible in time for MC13.
The goal of the virtual seminar is to help WTO delegates and capital-based officials to get up to speed on the latest status of the E-commerce JSI in the run-up to the WTO MC13. The session provides a state of play, an understanding of the draft text's contents, and insights on the development dimension.
The seminar is organized as part of the TAF2+ Umbrella Grant, an initiative financed by UK aid from the UK government. The project since 2020 has been offering timely, highly tailored yet flexible research and advisory support geared towards helping developing countries and LDCs build knowledge and enhance their understanding of technical topics, define positions in line with their national interests, and promote these interests at the WTO with a focus on the JSI discussions on Investment Facilitation and E-commerce.
