E commerce moratorium to come up at WTO’s Geneva meeting

The meeting of the General Council of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Geneva will now take the call on a moratorium on taxation of electronic transmissions that expired on Tuesday as the Ministerial Council (MC) could not take a call on it at their 14th meeting last week.

Along with the moratorium the GC will also take up the Work Programme on e-commerce for discussion, a commerce ministry statement said. The work programme is examining all trade related issues arising from global e-commerce.
