Negotiations at the World Trade Organization (WTO) ministerial meeting in Cameroon have hit a significant impasse regarding the extension of a moratorium on customs duties for digital transmissions. While a broader reform roadmap is reportedly nearing a final agreement, diplomats noted on Sunday that the deadlock over e-commerce duties persists, threatening to undermine the organization's current agenda.
