AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The European Parliament gave its consent to the EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement, which sets binding rules for digital trade between the two parties.

The agreement facilitates cross-border data flows, bans customs duties on electronic transmissions, and protects consumers online, while respecting privacy and data protection rights.

Parliament's approval means the Council can now conclude the agreement, which is the EU's first standalone digital trade pact with a partner country.
