The 67th meeting of the OECD’s Committee on Digital Economy Policy (CDEP), formerly the Information, Computer and Communications Policy (ICCP) Committee, was held on 19-20 June in Paris. The Portuguese delegation was represented by the Foundation for Science and Technology and by ANACOM.
A joint ICCP and CDEP working party (WP) meeting was notably held to consider the OECD membership requests by Latvia and Colombia, with presentation of the respective memorandums, thereby signalling the start of technical discussions. The Secretariat also reported that the Council had suspended activities linked to the process of Russia’s membership in the OECD.
