Trade

The Work Programme on Electronic Commerce states that: “Exclusively for the purposes of the work programme and without prejudice to its outcome, the term ‘electronic commerce’' is understood to mean the production, distribution, marketing, sale or delivery of goods and services by electronic means”. Four WTO bodies were charged with the responsibility of carrying out the Work Programme: the Council for Trade in Services; the Council for Trade in Goods; the Council for TRIPS; and the Committee on Trade and Development. The General Council plays a central role and keeps the work programme under continuous review.
