YAOUNDE, March 30 (Reuters) – A global e-commerce moratorium on duties on digital downloads and streaming has expired, a senior World Trade Organization official said on Monday.
WTO talks in Cameroon to extend the moratorium ran out of time and will be continued in Geneva, the WTO conference chair told delegates earlier.
Negotiations will begin afresh on a new moratorium, said a senior WTO official who asked to remain unidentified.
The talks reached a deadlock between the U.S. and Brazil over extending the moratorium beyond two years.
