A Framework for Global Electronic Commerce

Citation
White House, The Framework for Global Electronic Commerce (full-text).

Overview
The Framework establishes a set of principles to guide policy development, outlines the Clinton Administration's positions on a number of key issues related to electronic commerce, and provides a road map for international negotiations, where appropriate. It also identifies which government agencies will take the lead in implementing this work.

The Clinton Administration has developed this Framework because it is a critical element of the Administration's agenda on trade and technology as it discusses the commercial implications of the Global Information Infrastructure (GII). With responsible private sector leadership and support from Congress, state and local governments, the Clinton Administration hoped to work with international trading partners and ensure the development of a free and open global electronic marketplace.
