Vice-President of the European Commission Ansip officially presented the Digital Single Market Strategy today. Ecommerce Europe welcomes the progress that the European Commission has made and generally supports the way the Commission wants to meet the main challenges. Ecommerce Europe takes up its role to make sure that the implementation of the strategy mostly benefits the needs of the e-commerce sector.

Marlene ten Ham, Secretary General of Ecommerce Europe states: “We support Vice-President Ansip and the Commission in their efforts to ensure better access for consumers and businesses to the online sale of goods, services and digital content across Europe. We noticed that a large number of issues addressed in the Digital Single Market strategy confirm the outcome of Ecommerce Europe’s survey on existing barriers to cross-border e-commerce. The coming months will be crucial to work together as EU regulators, industry and consumer associations and to implement a framework that truly benefits the development of the sector.”
