Appendix I

The first steps to create trusted environment for cross-border e-commerce
(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.)

Cross-border e-commerce is an example of informational interaction of entities, which are residents of
different economies, and therefore subjects to different regulatory and legal acts. Each economy has its own
rules of information handling and this fact is a reason of an important issue with e-commerce. Cross-border
e-commerce should support rules of each interacting economy to establish trust between interacting entities.
Therefore, the system of cross-border e-commerce may be implemented within trusted environment with
such properties as interoperability and information security.

The forthcoming first steps to implement the above mentioned principles:

1) To initiate a dialog at the global level on cross-border regulatory exchange of information and start
collecting information on existing practices in this area.
2) To exchange national experiences on co-regulatory initiatives of private sector in consultations with
regulators.

3) To establish a cross-sector group on cross-border e-commerce.
4) To initiate the development of Interoperability Legal Framework at the global level.
5) Providing not direct interoperability ICT but ensuring recognition of certificates of authenticity of
transmitted information in cross-border transmission. This can be achieved through the following
steps: creation of national systems of certification authorities and national regulators of these
systems; conclusion of an international agreement on mutual recognition and the conditions of
mutual recognition of certificates of authenticity transmitted to the cross-border transmission of
information.

6) Ensuring cross-border, transparency and accessibility requirements. It is required to develop a
standardized process to ensure the integration and exchange of data with the legal significance,
both within economies and between economies.
7) Overcoming linguistic barriers. Search for solution of the problem of incompatibility of existing
standards, standard classifications, reference books (national, international, industry, etc.) used in
the Internet economy and the development of electronic transactions and linguistic algorithms for
information systems of e-commerce.
