Addressing a workshop on the suspension on customs duties on electronic transmissions on 29 April, Director-General Roberto Azevêdo said the digital economy and the e-commerce suspension have been an imperative hub of conversations for many WTO members, particularly since the Buenos Aires Ministerial Conference in 2017. He noted that the suspension has long been an aspect of the bilateral trading method. He stated that technological advances are revolutionizing the way we do business and the way we trade today, and welcomed the workshop as a way to inform members’ deliberations, by bringing together representatives from academia, business, statistical offices and international organizations.
