Another digital trade deal, what’s the big deal?
Central to the EUSDTA is the EU’s consistent preference for open and secure cross-border data flows, with significant caveats
ON JUL 25, the European Union (EU) and Singapore concluded negotiations on a Digital Trade Agreement (EUSDTA).
The first of its kind for the EU, the agreement sets rules for cross-border data flows and consumer protection, among other commitments that facilitate digital trade.
For Singapore, the EUSDTA will be the latest in a string of digital trade-focused agreements it has recently concluded – with Chile, New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom and South Korea.
