23/10/2018 (Agence Europe) – Regulation 2018/302 on the end of unjustified geographical blocking on the Internet will apply from 3 December 2018. "Just before Christmas", European Commission Vice-President Andrus Ansip and Poland's Róża Thun (EPP), who negotiated the dossier for the European Parliament, welcomed at a press conference on Tuesday 23 October. This small ‘communication coup’ also enabled the MEP to emphasise that the text instructed the Commission to carry out a first evaluation within two years. This is to see whether the rules should not be extended to certain electronically supplied services that offer copyright-protected content, such as downloadable music, electronic books, software and online games, as well as services in sectors such as transport and audiovisual. "I hope we can do it", Mr. Ansip said. (SPj)
