Abstract
The author discusses legal issues related to the widespread use of electronic data interchange (EDI) in practice in this debate. Electronic data exchange represents a relatively new way of transferring information that in the future should replace the use of paper and written documents when concluding business transactions. In the article, the author describes how EDI works and its advantages over the way things are done. The author further cites the difficulties that exist due to the lack of legal regulation for the application of EDI. Namely, the present right contains provisions that are harmful to the use of EDI. In conclusion, it is emphasized that in the future all EDI-related difficulties will have to be overcome. Although some countries have made some progress in this regard, there is still much to be done to successfully implement EDI in practice.
