Further to, but not limited to, Articles 2 and 3 of the
Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation in the Fields of
Communications and Information Technologies between the Ministry
of Industry in Ottawa and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office,
Canada of June 1, 1998, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office,
Canada and the Department of Industry of Canada ("Industry
Canada") hereinafter jointly referred to as the "sides", have
reached the following understanding:

Telecommunications and information technology, including the
Internet, are key enablers in economic development. Spam poses a
potential threat to this economic development. It must be made
clear that spam has no legitimate role in the e-Economy.

Industry Canada and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office,
Canada see mutual benefit in strengthening cooperation between
their two administrations concerning anti-spam policies and
strategies. The aim is to support international cooperation in
and among organizations where both are members, such as the Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

Under this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Industry Canada
and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Canada will
co-operate through the exchange of ideas, information,
personnel, skills and experience and collaborative activities
that will be of benefit to both sides. Because spam has
implications for many groups of stakeholders, Industry Canada
and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Canada will make
every effort to ensure that all interested policy, regulatory
and enforcement agencies are consulted as appropriate.
Particular areas of co-operation will include:
a) Exchanging information about anti-spam policies and
strategies, security issues and other identified areas of
interest to both sides;
b) Encouraging the adoption of effective anti-spam technologies
and network management practices, through industry codes of
practice, by Internet Service Providers and major business
network managers;
c) Supporting marketers in adopting spam-free marketing
techniques;
d) Identifying and promoting user practices and behaviors which
can effectively control and limit spam and supporting the
development of multi-stakeholder public information and
awareness campaigns to foster increased adoption of anti-spam
practices and behaviors by end users;
e) Cooperating to strengthen anti-spam initiatives being
considered in international fora where both sides are
members.

The cooperative activities carried out as outlined above will be
subject to the availability of funds and resources of each side.

This MOU may be amended at any time upon the mutual written
consent of the two sides.

This MOU will become effective on the date of the last signature
and will remain effective unless terminated by either side upon
90 days prior written notice.

Signed in duplicate at Ottawa on the 16th day of November 2006
in the English, French and Chinese languages, each version being
equally valid.
