Algiers – Executives from Algeria’s leading mobile operators, Mobilis and Djezzy, were heard by the National People’s Assembly’s Committee on Transportation, Communications, and Telecommunications today. The hearing focused on the proposed law concerning trust services for electronic transactions, according to a statement released by the parliament.
The President and CEO of Mobilis and the Director of Legal Affairs for Djezzy provided insights and perspectives on the draft legislation. The committee is currently reviewing the bill, which aims to establish a legal framework for secure and reliable electronic transactions within Algeria.
The proposed law on trust services for electronic transactions is intended to facilitate the growth of e-commerce and digital services in the country. It seeks to define the roles and responsibilities of trust service providers, ensure the security and integrity of electronic signatures and timestamps, and promote consumer confidence in online transactions.
The hearing with Mobilis and Djezzy executives is a crucial step in the legislative process, allowing lawmakers to gather expert opinions and assess the potential impact of the law on the telecommunications sector. Their input will likely shape the final version of the bill before it is presented to the full parliament for a vote.
