In the context of the increasing digitalisation of trade covering both services and goods, the 
Parties should establish provisions to facilitate electronic commerce, address unjustified 
barriers to trade by electronic means, and ensure an open, secure and trustworthy online 
environment for businesses and consumers, such as on electronic trust and authentication 
services or on not requiring prior authorisation solely on the grounds that the service is 
provided by electronic means. These provisions should also facilitate cross-border data 
flows and address unjustified data localisation requirements, noting that this facilitation will 
not affect the Parties' personal data protection rules.
