OECD calls for coordination and cooperation
OECD issues 'Recommendation on Cross-Border Cooperation in the Enforcement of Laws
against Spam'.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has called
on governments and industry across the world to step up their coordination
to combat the global problem of spam.
A new set of recommendations issued by the OECD last month calls for the
establishment of clear national anti-spam policies and for anti-spam law
enforcement bodies to be given greater power and resources globally. The
'Recommendation on Cross-Border Cooperation in the Enforcement of Laws
against Spam' urges governments to ensure that their laws enable
authorities to share information with other countries. It also recommends
that each country establish a single national contact point to facilitate
rapid and effective international cooperation.
The set of recommendations form part of the OECD's Anti-Spam Toolkit, which
is designed to provide policy makers from across the world with a
comprehensive package of regulatory approaches, technical solutions, and
industry initiatives to fight spam. The Anti-Spam Toolkit is available
online at http://www.oecd-antispam.org/.
