Fahey, E. ORCID: 0000-0003-2603-5300 (2021). The European Union as a Digital Trade Actor: The Challenge of Being a Global Leader in Standard-Setting. International Trade Law and Regulation, 27(2), pp. 155-166.
Abstract
The EU’s ambitious and far-reaching efforts at de facto and de jure regulation of high data standards is increasingly expressed as a global standard. It is mostly in the area of protection of privacy standards where the EU has innovated, but which raise complexities for the place of standards more broadly in digital trade. The challenge remains for the EU to upload its standards to multilateral agreements. However, developments as a digital services tax show the significance of the regulation of the digital matters outside of trade agreements.
