The OECD recognises that the different legal and political traditions among members mean that different solutions will be appropriate for each nation, but states that the global nature of the digital economy requires them to look at ways of ensuring access and enforcing certain safeguards. The report also points out the need for consensus on security and authentication measures that will make electronically transmitted documents legally binding.
