APEC 2007 - E-CONTRACTS FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Getting Contracts right for International Trade

Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation will be greatly bolstered by the 
tremendous advantage that the Internet provides with Electronic Contracts.

As Australian Customs struggles with its new eCommerce System, while 
the NSW Government moves towards a Judicial Inquiry into the Cross-City 
Tunnel Payment Scandal at the same time that the Federal Government braces 
for the UN Report on Australian Wheat sales to Iraq, it is timely to consider 
how Standard Electronic Contracts could reduce the complexity for effective 
management and monitoring of Public Contracts.

The Seminar on Thu 24 Nov 2005 will review whether the OTMG Tender Information
Management Service [TIMS] may be a suitable platform for electronic Federal, State 
and Local Government Contracts which may be incorporated as part of Free Trade
Agreements eg Aus-USA FTA.
