Subject: DIGITALEUROPE response to TSIA TiSA draft interim technical report  
Dear all,  
DIGITALEUROPE is pleased to share with you our response to the draft interim technical 
report for Trade Sustainability Impact Assessment in Support of Negotiations on TiSA.  
We responded to some of the questions raised in the report, particularly on the need for 
digital trade rules touching upon the areas of e-commerce and telecommunications, the 
recognition of the principle of the free flow of data between TiSA parties and the respect 
at the same time of EU privacy standards, the challenges set by the EU carve-out on new 
services, the establishment of a commercial presence and the temporary movement of 
natural persons for business purposes.  
We hope this opinion will clarify the demands of the European Tech Industry, and will be 
reflected in the final report.  
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any question.  
Sincerely,  
Diane Mievis 
On behalf of DIGITALEUROPE
