In addition, Art. 7.2 of the Mercosur Agreement on Electronic Commerce stipulates that each Member State shall permit the cross-border transfer of information through electronic means, provided that such transfer is undertaken for the purpose of carrying out the commercial activities of a person or entity belonging to a Member State.
