EUROCHAMBRES President, Richard Weber, met Vice-President Ansip in February 2015. President Weber's follow-up letter highlights notably:

1. The need to re-evaluate a wide range of existing legislative requirements (fiscal regimes, company law, labour mobility rules, licences, standards, dispute resolution, consumer protection, trade...) from a digital perspective

2. The importance of effective implementation of the eIDAS regulation

3. The role of e-Government as a catalyst for digital advancement and the need for the European Commission to set a positive precedent by digitalizing its own procedures

4. Chambers' disappointment regarding the effectiveness of the Services Directive's 'Points of Single Contact', supposedly online one stop shops where cross-border service providers can acquire all of the information they need and complete all required procedures
