AUSTRALIA’S INTERNATIONAL CYBER ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY SUPPORT TRANSPARENCY AND EVIDENCE-BASED POLICY POSITIONS Australia is committed to leading by example on stakeholder consultation and transparency in policy-making. Appropriate multi-stakeholder consultations help ensure well-targeted policy responses to the challenges and opportunities of digitisation. Australia will continue to hold regular consultations with industry on digital trade and invite submissions from the private sector when developing new digital trade rules. Similarly, Australia encourages other countries to consult with businesses when developing new trade laws and policies. More work needs to be done to accurately measure digital trade. Understanding the current uptake of digital technologies by micro, small and medium enterprises, and the barriers to their digital participation, will better inform policy. Australia is committed to working towards internationally consistent and robust measurement of digital trade. AUSTRALIA WILL: 1.06 Support public-private engagement on emerging digital trade issues in multilateral forums, including the Business 20 and the APEC Business Advisory Council 1.07 Support the G20, OECD and other international research to improve digital trade measurement and develop policy responses 1.08 Encourage transparency from bilateral partners on domestic legislation that could restrict trade, including through cyber policy dialogues 20
