A joint drive to combat unsolicited commercial e-mail from Europe and Asia was agreed by participants in an Asia-Europe (ASEM) conference on e-commerce held in London last week.
In a joint statement released following the conclusion of the February 21-22 meeting, ASEM’s 25 European and 13 Asian member countries agreed to take action to fight spam nationally, and to promote anti-spam efforts in international organisations and by industry.
According to EC figures, over 20% of global spam e-mail originates in ASEM members China and South Korea alone.
Speaking late last week, Information Society and Media Commissioner, Viviane Reding announced that:
“I welcome this important EU-Asia statement on spam. The EU cannot act alone in the fight against spam as it is essentially borderless. It is crucial that the problem be taken seriously in every part of the world and in particular in regions where a lot of spam is reported to originate.”
