Brussels, 13/02/2015 (Agence Europe) - The association Ecommerce Europe, which defends the interests of online commerce companies, published recommendations, on Thursday 12 February, to consolidate the sector's double-digit growth.
“We still have 28 packages of different rules on data protection, contract law, supply of goods, tax administration, etc. This means that companies face many obstacles to do business across national borders”, stressed the Secretary General of Ecommerce Europe, Marlene ten Ham.
With the European Commission aiming to kickstart the European economy by removing obstacles to online trade, Ecommerce proposes a better harmonisation of the legislation on private data and taxation, a simplification of the rules on consumer rights, as well as improvements to the online payment systems and innovative supply of goods.
