Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Digital Trade Act of 2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Internet has become an unprecedented medium for
competition, trade, free expression, and access to information.
(2) The Internet is a driver of the global economy and must
remain open, stable, and secure.
(3) Trade in Internet-enabled services and transfers of
data and other digital information have become increasingly
critical drivers of the economic growth of the United States.
The United States International Trade Commission found in a
July 2013 report, entitled ''Digital Trade in the U.S. and
Global Economies, Part 1'', that ''U.S. exports of digitally
enabled services (one measure of international digital trade)
grew from $282.1 billion in 2007 to $356.1 billion in 2011,
with exports exceeding imports every year''.
(4) The United States is the global leader in Internet-
enabled platforms, networks, and services. Certain liability
protections for those entities under the law of the United
States, which promote innovation and creativity and allow for
cooperative efforts to address harmful activity, have been
critical to the growth of the Internet economy in the United
States.
(5) According to McKinsey & Company, more than /4\ of the
value added by the Internet is in traditional industries.
(6) Internet-enabled commerce and digital trade benefits
small- and medium-size enterprises by providing unparalleled
access to global markets.
(7) Proposals have been put forward by some trading
partners of the United States to restrict the flow of lawful
information across borders. Those proposals would cause
increased government control over the Internet and could create
a fragmented Internet.
(8) Localization barriers to trade are frequently used to
protect, favor, or stimulate domestic industries at the expense
of industries in other countries. Those localization
requirements harm the competitiveness of and end-users in the
United States.
(9) Restrictive policies regarding the flow of information
across borders are nontariff barriers that are harmful to
innovation and economic advancement. Those policies impede
trade in digital products and services and constrain the
ability of United States companies from many sectors to
effectively operate across borders.
(10) Cross-border data flows are critical to manufacturers,
institutions of higher education, hospitals, retailers,
financial services firms, laboratories, and many other
organizations that use the Internet to improve their
productivity and manage global networks of customers,
suppliers, researchers, and employees.
(11) The free flow of information across borders provides
choices and reduces costs to consumers worldwide.
(12) The position of the United States Government has been
and is to advocate for the free flow of information across
borders.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) agencies in the executive branch, including the Office
of the United States Trade Representative, should be staffed
with experts and leaders to fulfill the mission of promoting an
open, global Internet that facilitates commerce and digital
trade; and
(2) private sector stakeholders should have the opportunity
to formally inform efforts of agencies in the executive branch
related to digital trade.

SEC. 3. NEGOTIATING PRINCIPLES FOR INTERNET-ENABLED COMMERCE AND
DIGITAL TRADE.

It shall be a negotiating principle of the United States in
negotiations for a bilateral, plurilateral, or multilateral agreement,
and in multi-stakeholder fora, to seek the inclusion of binding and
enforceable provisions that promote and enhance Internet-enabled
commerce and digital trade, including provisions--
(1) preventing or eliminating barriers to the movement of
electronic information across borders, including by encouraging
interoperability of data protection regimes and eliminating
barriers to accessing, processing, transferring, or storing
information;
(2) ensuring transparency in measures affecting the free
flow of information within and across borders;
(3) continuing the current practice of not imposing customs
duties on electronic transmissions;
(4) prohibiting measures that condition market access or
other commercial benefits on localization of data,
infrastructure, or investment;
(5) prohibiting any country from imposing measures that
require an entity to use computing infrastructure or services
in that country or otherwise require an entity to access,
process, transfer, or store data in the territory of that
country;
(6) ensuring that the Internet continues to operate within
the successful multi-stakeholder governance model;
(7) ensuring that provisions affecting intermediary
liability for Internet-enabled platforms, networks, and
services are consistent with the law of the United States;
(8) ensuring digital trade policies contemplate various
business activities across all industrial sectors and allow for
future technological advancement; and
(9) otherwise eliminating discriminatory treatment of
Internet-enabled commerce and digital trade.
