VI. ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE 17

The subprogramme will also support the efforts of member States to implement and monitor the commitments agreed upon at international conferences, in particular those related to the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing of the Second World Assembly on Ageing, as well as the relevant goals and objectives of the Millennium Declaration.

Before using any electronic means of data interchange, the Registrar shall ensure that the electronic data interchange system is capable of ensuring authentication and confidentiality of the information.

EDI is also making inroads into the banking sector.

Indicators that will provide information on the prevalence of electronic trading include use of EDI in the sectors and prevalence of EDI Internet services between traders and service providers.

The required transit and customs management electronic data interchange (EDI) messages should be developed using UN EDIFACT standards.

Box 6 A new EDIFACT compatible standard for ETOs

Included in the latter category was the Model Law on Electronic Commerce, which defined the terms data message and electronic data interchange from a functional perspective.

Electronic means' of communicating, publishing, exchanging or storing information or documents means the generation, exchange, sending, receipt or storage of information or documents by electronic, optical or comparable means including, but not limited to, electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic mail, telegram, telex or telecopy.

(3) Data message' means information generated, sent, received or stored by electronic, optical or similar means, including, but not limited to, electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic mail, telegram, telex or telecopy.

The use and implementation of electronic data exchange norms by countries should be studied.

Electronic means' of communicating, publishing, exchanging or storing information or documents, and of holding meetings, means the generation, exchange, sending, receipt or storage of information or documents by electronic, optical or comparable means including, but not limited to, electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic mail, telegram, telex or telecopy.

For example, the country s Central Bank the Czech National Bank uses EDI to exchange information with other banks.

Another step will be the transition toward electronic data interchange (EDI), wherever economically feasible.

After the launching of the GTPNet at UNISTE (October 1994), it became clear that the size of GTPNet required that interchange standards be set for a variety of media (including fax, e mail and EDI).

(b) Electronic data interchange (EDI)' means the electronic transfer from computer to computer of information using an agreed standard to structure the information

The use of EDI in international trade will be promoted, by providing legal advice and assistance to developing countries on the measures to overcome legal impediments to the implementation of EDI.

It has been agreed that structured data sent between UNCTAD Trade Points, such as electronic trading opportunities, will use UN EDIFACT messages.

(c) Data message means information generated, sent, received or stored by electronic, optical or similar means including, but not limited to, electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic mail, telegram, telex or telecopy

(c) Data message means information generated, sent, received or stored by electronic, magnetic, optical or similar means, including, but not limited to, electronic data interchange, electronic mail, telegram, telex or telecopy

ITC has likewise worked with the UN ECE in the development of a UN EDIFACT message for the exchange of company information between Trade Points.

UN ECE develops trade facilitation standards and recommendations for reducing and automating procedures and paperwork for example, UN EDIFACT plays an important role as a common basis for exchanging international trade data.

(a) Monitoring legal developments concerning the use of EDI in international trade and provision of advisory services to countries that wish to formulate statutory provisions to remove legal barriers to the use of EDI in international trade

124. UNCITRAL Working Group on Electronic Commerce, thirty fifth session General Assembly resolution 2928 (XXVII)

This includes the compurterisation of most customs work, such as the electronic transfer of information, import and export protocols using EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), e payment for taxes and duties, and e manifest for electronic information transfer.

The key to the model was the ability of different Customs offices and administrations to communicate and exchange information with one another using EDI.

The expert group has discussed the development of further UN EDIFACT compatible messages for other types of information exchanged, particularly company information.

To date, one of the major achievements of the group includes the development of a UN EDIFACT compatible standard for business opportunities or ETOs, based on a subset of the UN EDIFACT PRICAT (price catalogue) message.

Computerization of the criminal justice system, electronic information exchange, and collection and analysis of criminal justice data were key elements in that process.

Establishing an appropriate legal framework for the use of EDI will reduce transaction costs, improve security, and allow a speedier delivery of goods.

Messages used should be based on existing international standards, in particular UN EDIFACT.

Furthermore, Governments should promote the development of port community information networks and the use of electronic data interchange (EDI) for the exchange of information that will facilitate the movement and control of transit cargo.

The Centre for Facilitation of Procedures and Practices for Administration, Commerce and Transport develops and maintains the only international standard for electronic data interchange (Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport) between public administrations and private companies of all economic sectors worldwide.

We let them share the data and exchange it.

10. Invites all Governments and relevant international bodies to ensure the rapid flow of communications, including the use of electronic means of data exchange

The experts strongly agreed that all messages exchanged should be based on the UN EDIFACT standards.

Messages used should be based on existing international standards, in particular UN EDIFACT.
