EDiMA represents Internet platform businesses in EU policy formation, on matters affecting the online environment and believes EU policy should maximise the development of new online services and business models to the benefit of innovators and EU consumers. Accordingly, EDiMA follows and is engaged at EU-level in regulatory and policy developments relating to content online, intellectual property rights in the online environment, the liability regime for Internet intermediaries, consumer rights issues related to E-Commerce and the use of online platforms, and more broadly, the development of a European Digital Single Market facilitating innovative online services. EDiMA supports policy initiatives that are pro-consumer and promote innovation and growth in the Internet sector and digital economy.
