The text we are seeing would apply to the whole agreement, so suggesting that this is just for the Internet isn't really true. That said, given that the context is a proposal that relates to all online commerce, it is quite broad, and that is a bad precedent - IMHO. It should be narrower.<br>

There are TISA countries who are unable to take home that light of an obligation on privacy as it would conflict with much stronger provisions on privacy that they have in national law. I am told that this is a major issue in the talks now. In other words, more privacy-protecting formulations are being asserted, not the opposite. I am sure that perspective would welcome some civil society support for a more privacy-centric result; conversely, much of industry believes that each country should retain the freedom to decide for itself what level of protection is appropriate (in other words, a more GATS-like formulation is preferred by them).</div><div><br></div><div>On the national security exception: it has in the past been self judging in the WTO. However, GATS does provide for limitations on the scope of exceptions for this purpose as you know - the provision proposed by the US in TISA that the leak reveals is far broader - and it is specific to the Internet - where the broader agreement will contain a GATS-like (more limited) exception. </div><div><br></div><div>The question here is not whether or not TISA (or any other trade agreement) will have a national security exception or not: they all do. The question is, will TISA have a special exception for the Internet, setting a precedent that effectively allows any country to say 'national security' and do whatever it likes vis a vis the Internet. I would strongly assert that this is a terrible precedent and that countries that assert this approach will open themselves to charges they are 'sanitising' Internet surveillance in trade policy. Whatever we may all think about trade deals, I would certainly suggest we should agree that this is a precedent that should not be set, especially by a major Western country that is meant to be an example of how to be an open, pluralistic society with support for human rights.</div><div><br></div><div>As to the appellate body, there is as yet no decision on how exactly TISA will fit into the WTO system, and it is far from clear that it will be subject to the dispute settlement system at all.<br>

I am verifiably informed that this will not be sufficient for some of the negotiating parties - including major economies. In other words there is going to be more robust privacy protections in TISA than in previous trade agreements as I am reliably informed without it a deal that includes coverage for electronic trade will not gain agreement.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am surprised and disappointed that the national security exception didn't get more attention. This is an extremely broad exception, and what you all probably don't know is that, like privacy, there will be a GATS-like national security exception across the entire agreement. That means that this exception is, quite literally, for the Internet and it is broader than GATS' exception as the legal analysis mentioned.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">I can tell you that a number of parties to the TISA talks - of all sizes of economy - have said that the national security exception makes all the obligations on the Internet voluntary because it is so broad. This, it seems to me, is a terrible signal to send to the many countries engaging in crackdowns on the Internet. Some of the other parties to TISA are Turkey and Pakistan. Aside from anything else, these are not countries that have a good record about the open Internet. Some of the most significant censorship moves that Turkey has made in 2014 happened near the time when they received the offer from the US in TISA. Perhaps this is a coincidence, but I have to wonder. <o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">While I understand the concern that a number of you will have about the text, if you look at it through a human rights lens, ensuring the free flow of data is a very positive thing - and local hosting obligations are used right now by repressive governments to ensure that content is accessible to it for censorship purposes - and to spy more capably on their own people. As far as privacy goes, you have to ask yourself if you really want it to be easy for personal data to be held in any country. Most countries have a pretty poor record of protecting privacy. Wouldn't you want data to be held where it is most likely to be kept securely? Isn't ensuring that countries can compete to host data based upon robust privacy protections a desirable objective?<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">I know that there are strong views on trade agreements, but I have to tell you, as a front-row witness to the terrible climate on Internet policy in Geneva, trade is one of the few bright spots where there are countries insisting on strong privacy protections and I know the negotiators do feel the weight of history on them not to enable censorship or other such practices through their work. That's why I was so disappointed to see the US sending such a terrible signal to the world in proposing an extremely broad national security exception.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;

The pact would require signatory countries to ensure conformity of their laws, regulations and administrative procedures with the provisions of the TISA; failure to do so could subject a country to trade sanctions. Negotiators are pushing to complete and implement the pact next year.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;"> <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">“This leak reveals a dangerous trend where policies unrelated to trade are being diplomatically legislated through closed-door international ‘trade’ negotiations to which industry interests have privileged access while the public and policy experts promoting consumer interests are shut out,” said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch. “Given the raging domestic debate over net neutrality, the growing demands for more data privacy and the constantly changing technology, a pact negotiated in secret that is not subject to changes absent consensus of all signatories seems like a very bad place to be setting U.S. Internet governance policies.”<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;"> <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">Added Burcu Kilic, a lawyer with Public Citizen, “The Internet belongs to its users. Anyone who cares about an open and free Internet should be concerned that U.S. trade negotiators are seeking to lock in international rules about how the Internet functions, and are doing so in a closed-door process that is not subject to the input of Internet users. Negotiating rules internationally, behind closed doors, while the domestic discussion is ongoing not only makes an end-run around the domestic process, but excludes the perspectives and expertise needed to make good policy.”<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;"> <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">With respect to privacy protections, the leaked text reveals that the U.S. negotiators are pushing for new corporate rights for unrestricted cross-border data flows and prohibitions on requirements to hold and process data locally, thus removing governments’ ability to ensure that private and sensitive personal data is stored and processed only in jurisdictions that ensure privacy.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;"> <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">Such measures are considered critical to ensuring that medical, financial and other data provided protection by U.S. law are not made public when sent offshore for processing and storage, with no legal recourse for affected individuals.
