Abstract
In the last two years, there has been an explosion of
regulatory activity in Europe concerning electronic commerce,
both at the EU level and in the Member States. This talk
will give an overview of the regulatory structure for
electronic commerce in Europe, and will examine recent
regulatory developments in four areas: data privacy; the
so-called "e-commerce directive"; indirect taxation; and
consumer confidence/ADR.
