Is 2000 The Year of International E-Commerce?
When the World Trade Organization WTOgave e-commerce it's blessing by extending the moratorium on Internet taxes, it may have signaled the next big step in online consumer spending.

Europe Closing E-Commerce Gap With U.S. 
According to a report released today by Forrester Research, Europe's Internet commerce will grow by more than 100 percent per year for the next five years and will reach annual online trade of 1.6 trillion Euros by 2004.

Net Retailers Face A Taxing Question
Are online stores obligated to charge sales tax on purchases? It depends on who you ask.

Making E-Contracts Count
In the first legislation of its kind in Canada, and probably North America, a legal framework for e-commerce is proposed that would give online transactions and contracts the same legal protections as those on paper.

E-Commerce Now A Top Presidential Campaign Issue
As the five front-running candidates for the U.S. presidency shift their campaigns into high gear, electronic commerce is joining education and campaign finance reform among the more popular topics of debate.

Survey: UK Online Retailers Disappoint Customers
Online Christmas shoppers may be shocked to find that some of the biggest Internet retailers are failing their customers in the festive period, according to research from marketing consultants Dial Internet on Wednesday.

International Group Plans Rules for Consumers Online
An international council on Thursday is expected to adopt a set of guidelines that tries to put in place the first global framework of consumer protections for the Internet.

Online Pizza in the U.K. 
Domino's Pizza U.K., an independent franchise of the No. 2 American pizza chain, is set to launch a British online delivery service next week, for the "significant number of PC users who are also pizza eaters."

International body adopts e-commerce protections
In the midst of the holiday shopping season, a forum of 29 nations today adopted guidelines they hope will provide broader protections for online consumers, from settling complaints over faulty products to curbing e-commerce fraud.

'Locusts' Infesting E-Commerce
International online law enforcers warned Tuesday they were seriously behind in tackling Internet crime, and said cybercrime might prove a major threat to countries as well as businesses.

E-Commerce Tax Plan Summaries
About thirty plans for changing the country's systems of state and local tax have been submitted to the Advisory Commission on Electronic Commerce. This document contains brief summaries of most of the plans.

Europe Offers Special Challenges for Net Retailers
Across Europe, retailers are hoping that this will be a breakthrough period for electronic commerce. But merchants in Europe have already found that varied laws, languages and customs are posing challenges that their American counterparts have largely not had to face.

WTO agreed on short-term Net tax ban, U.S. official says
World Trade Organization ministers are in agreement that the current tax moratorium on sales over the Internet should be extended for as long as two years, U.S. Commerce Secretary William Daley said.
