On October 7, 2019, the United States and Australia announced they have entered into formal negotiations<\/a> for a bilateral agreement under the U.S.\u00a0Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act<\/em>\u00a0(the CLOUD Act).\u00a0 The two governments also hosted a roundtable on trusted technology ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Negotiations of a CLOUD Act Agreemen<\/em>t<\/p>\n

United States Attorney General William Barr and Australian Minister for Home Affairs, Peter Dutton, announced the negotiations during a meeting.<\/p>\n

Supported \u00a0by Australian legislation yet to be introduced, a bilateral CLOUD Act agreement would enable Australian law enforcement to serve domestic orders for communications data needed to combat serious crime directly on U.S.-based companies, and vice versa<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On October 3, 2019, the United States and United Kingdom\u00a0concluded the first ever CLOUD Act Agreement.\u00a0It will permit U.S. and British law enforcement agencies, with appropriate authorization, to demand electronic data concerning serious crime, including terrorism, child sexual abuse, and cybercrime, directly from tech companies based in the other country, without legal barriers.<\/p>\n

The announcement of U.S.-Australian negotiations of a CLOUD Act Agreement \u00a0provides additional momentum to the\u00a0 U.S. government efforts of having an expedited process for directly obtaining access to electronic evidence from the platform providers.<\/p>\n

Roundtable on Trusted Technology Ecosystems<\/em><\/p>\n

Also on October 7, Attorney General William P. Barr and Australian Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton hosted a government-industry roundtable discussion titled, \u201cShaping a Trusted Technology Ecosystem<\/a>,\u201d with more than a dozen representatives from the tech-industry landscape.<\/p>\n

A Department of Justice press release characterized the dialogue as a critical step in jointly addressing complex supply chain challenges faced by both nations.\u00a0 The collaborative discussion presented an opportunity for industry, Australia and the United States to work together on solutions to ensure an open marketplace, achieve a diverse range of secure technology options, and enhance global technology markets characterized by trust, transparency, and fair competition.\u00a0 One issue is whether to try to prevent Huawei from developing for the Western countries and the world in general the 5G network.\u00a0 The U.S. does not trust\u00a0 Huawei from a national security perspective because it believes that the Chinese government will control Huawei’s practices and enable the Chinese government to obtain surveillance periodically.\u00a0 Until now, Australia has cooperated with the U.S. on the initiative to block Huawei even though Australia is increasingly subject to Chinese economic and foreign policy pressure due to China’s growing role in Australia and the region.\u00a0 The issue of trusted technology ecosystems also concerns the Internet and data privacy.<\/p>\n
