cepPolicyBrief

The removal of obstacles to online trading strengthens the single market. Thus the collective management of copyrights facilitates the process of offering digital contents across borders. One-stop shop schemes for VAT obligations reduce administrative costs. The Commission should eliminate aid for broadband deployment and the stimulation of investment in fibre deployment. In promoting and regulating out-of-court dispute settlements, the EU should limit itself to matters of cross-border relevance.
