Cross-border e-commerce, due to different legal and tax environments across EU Member States, is still a huge challenge for entrepreneurs.
Since the launch of the Digital Single Market Strategy in May 2015 and the Digital Decade policy program 2030 in January 2021, the European Commission (EC) has been working on, i.a., breaking down barriers for consumers in cross-border commerce. The EC’s main focus is on:
- The revised Payment Services Directive and rules on cross-border parcel delivery services already in force
- New rules to prevent unjustified geo-blocking
- Revised consumer protection rules, such as the Omnibus Directive, the Sale of Goods Directive and the Digital Services Directive
- A VAT e-commerce package for online sales of goods and services
- The Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act
- The Artificial Intelligence Act
