Interopérabilité mondiale des modèles de données pour les documents commerciaux et les plates-formes de commerce
Dans un environnement numérique pour que les Parties puissent échanger des données et des documents de manière transparente tous les renseignements doivent être clairement définis et sans ambiguïté (Forum économique mondial/CEE-ONU 2017). Il est essentiel de parvenir à un accord à la fois sur le contenu sémantique (c’est-à-dire les définitions des données par exemple pour savoir si le « port de débarquement » correspond au « port de déchargement ») et sur la syntaxe des données (c’est-à-dire la structure ou le format des données) pour s’assurer que les partenaires commerciaux souhaitant échanger des renseignements les comprennent de la même manière.
El reconocimiento jurídico mundial de las transacciones y los documentos electrónicos
En promedio una transacción transfronteriza requiere el intercambio de 36 documentos y 240 copias (Fletcher 2019). Un envío de rosas de Kenya a Rotterdam puede generar una pila de papel de 25 cm de altura y el coste de gestionarla puede ser superior al coste de transportar los contenedores (Allison 2016).
La interoperabilidad mundial de los modelos de datos para documentos y plataformas comerciales
En un entorno digital para que las partes puedan intercambiar datos y documentos sin obstáculos toda la información tiene que estar definida de forma clara e inequívoca (Foro Económico Mundial/CEPE 2017). Resulta esencial llegar a un acuerdo tanto sobre el contenido semántico (es decir las definiciones de los datos por ejemplo si “puerto de descarga” es lo mismo que “puerto de desembarque”) como sobre la sintaxis de los datos (es decir la estructura o el formato de los datos) para garantizar que los interlocutores comerciales que deseen intercambiar información la interpreten de la misma manera.
E-commerce, Trade and the COVID-19 Pandemic
The WTO Secretariat has published a new information note looking at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected e-commerce including the implications for cross-border trade. It notes the increased use of e-commerce as consumers adapt to lockdowns and social distancing measures and draws attention to several challenges such as the need to bridge the digital divide within and across countries.
Digital Connectivity & E-Commerce
Digital networks are an increasingly critical component of global trade. In 2017 the Global Review of Aid for Trade highlighted the importance of accessible and affordable connections for trade connectivity. Drawing extensively on information harvested in the Monitoring and Evaluation exercise in preparation for the Review this paper analyses aid for trade for digital connectivity and e-commerce.
A Quantitative Assessment of Electronic Commerce
This paper tries to assess quantitatively the role of electronic commerce in economic activity and in trade and tariff revenue collection. The share of value added that potentially lends itself to electronic trade represents around 30 percent of GDP most importantly distribution finance and business services. Electronic commerce is also likely to boost trade in many services sectors significantly. Despite the growing importance of electronic commerce for economic activity and trade tariff revenue loss from electronic commerce is likely to be minimal. Trade in potentially digitizable media goods which currently faces a tariff in some countries represents less than one percent of total world trade. The revenue collected on these products amounts to less than one percent of total tariff revenue in most countries. Even if some of this trade moved “online” tariff revenue loss would be only a very small share of tariff revenue.
E-commerce and Developing Country-SME Participation in Global Value Chains
Two far-reaching developments have increased the trade opportunities for SMEs in developing countries. Firstly the rise of the internet and advances in ICT have reduced trade-related information and communication costs. Secondly the international fragmentation of production has increased the opportunities for SMEs to specialize in narrow activities at various stages along the production chain.
