Abstract

In June 2020, Singapore, Chile and New Zealand signed the Digital Economic Partnership Agreement (DEPA), which expanded the scope of the international agreements covering digital trade, including more detailed provisions on digital trade facilitation, and treatment of digital products and other recent trends. In addition, Australia and Singapore signed the Digital Economy Agreement (ASDEA) in August 2020, which largely implemented the DEPA provisions.

The DEPA and the ASDEA provisions are based on the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), with provisions covering new areas. In addition, the drafting of the DEPA and ASDEA show some degree of flexibility by providing “principles” rather than fixed “rules” in new issues. Moreover, other countries are applying to the DEPA membership, and using the DEPA language in their own digital trade agreements. In this regard, the experience of DEPA and the ASDEA may provide helpful points to consider for future digital trade agreements including the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) and the EU-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement.
