May 21st, 2009 (WAM): A two-day conference on e-commerce and e-government concluded here on Wednesday with a call for continued legislations to regulate the ever-growing field. The 17th annual scientific conference of the Faculty of Law of the UAE University ?Electronic transactions: e-commerce e-government' was organised in association with the Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Research in Abu Dhabi. The UAE issued its first Federal Law in 2006 (Law No.1, of the year 2006) to govern and regulate all e-commerce transactions. This Law was an important breakthrough to facilitate electronic transactions.

The conference focussed on research oriented studies and made comparative approach of various legislations prevailing in other countries of the world in an effort to evolve appropriate solutions to some of the pertinent problems the e-transactions raise.
