Għanijiet u missjonijiet

ICOMP’s goal is to promote widespread support for principles that are essential to a healthy online environment, with the overall objective of achieving sustainable growth on the Internet consistent with the rule of law, namely through the encouragement of competition and transparency. ICOMP’s other key goals are:
- Data privacy
- Respect for intellectual property
- Adoption of best practices to promote creativity
- Innovation
- Safety and trust
In order to achieve these goals, ICOMP:
- Helps to educate and inform stakeholders and decision-makers as regards the functioning of the online marketplace and the application of competition rules.
- Campaigns for data protection rules compliance
- Encourages companies to compete in the provision of privacy safeguards for consumers online.
- Brings participants from across the Internet together to identify and promote best practices.
ICOMP’s work is guided by the following principles:
- Advertisers, web publishers and consumers all rely on healthy competition in online advertising to fund online innovation and content. Online advertising will continue to serve as the engine that drives the online economy, but only if vibrant competition in this critical sector is preserved.
- The Internet and e-commerce will reach their full potential only if consumers are informed of the ways in which information about them is used and only if consumers are confident that their privacy will be respected online.
- Intellectual property rights foster creativity and innovation, including in the online environment, by enabling firms and individuals to enjoy the commercial fruits of their efforts.

ICOMP is an industry initiative for organisations and policymakers involved in Internet commerce. ICOMP organises conferences and press roundtables, issues policy briefs, conducts consumer research, and advocates generally for a more competitive, transparent, and secure online marketplace with data privacy and respect for IPRs, all in keeping with the rule of law.
During the course of the previous year, ICOMP has continued to work towards the achievement of its goals (outlined in more detail above), in order to promote sustainable growth in the online marketplace in a way which is transparent and based on competition on the merits. In order to pursue these aims, in recent months, ICOMP has increased its focus on the need for privacy and data protection online, as well as for incentives to innovate. In particular, from March 2012 to February 2013, ICOMP carried out a small number of activities with regard to the EU Proposal for Regulation on Data Protection.
In addition, in order to achieve its goals, ICOMP has engaged in other activities falling under the scope of the Register, including:
- Maintaining its blog, “ICOMP Voices”
- Meeting with Members of the European Parliament and with Commission officials.
- Publishing articles in EU publications.
- Organising events in Brussels (most recently, its event "The Consumer in the digital age – the role of the European legislator").
- Organising conferences and press-round tables.
- Issuing policy briefs and discussion papers.
