At EU level, the need to ensure that existing legislation remains applicable to current circumstances is in fact accentuated by the nature of e-commerce and rapid developments online. The European Commission is very active currently, releasing numerous consultations and working documents, while the Consumer Rights Directive has recently been adopted by the European Parliament.

The annual E-Commerce conference is the leading forum where policymakers and stakeholders come to discuss and debate the most pertinent issues affecting the “sector”.

This year’s event featured a morning, high-level plenary followed by focused parallel sessions in the afternoon. These sessions dealt with specific areas, including, IPR and copyright, notice and takedown, online dispute resolution, payments, data protection, postal services and logistics.

The sessions enabled smaller groups to discuss the issues at hand in a more collegiate and cooperative manner. The conclusions from these workshops were then presented at the end of the conference by the organisers.
