Release of The E-commerce Moratorium & Women

The E-commerce Moratorium is a 25-year-old trade policy that prohibits the imposition of customs duties on electronic transmissions, which was agreed to and regularly renewed by the members of the World Trade Organization (WTO). During the last WTO Ministerial Conference (MC12), the continuation of this policy was in doubt. A lengthy debate resulted in its conditional renewal until the upcoming Ministerial Conference (MC13) that will take place in Abu Dhabi, in February 2024.
