European Commission’s digital package: A step forward towards the completion of the European Digital Single Market
The European Commission will tomorrow present long-awaited legislative proposals on the EU’s digital single market. Liberal and Democrat MEPs strongly welcome this digital package, which will include a proposal to ban unjustified geo-blocking – the practice of blocking websites across borders and providing different prices and conditions depending on the location of the customer. The ALDE group has long advocated a non-discriminatory principle regarding online sales of goods and services, while ensuring that businesses will not be forced to deliver to other Member States.
