Cardozo School of Law October 13, 2011 Notre Dame Law Review, Vol. 87, No. 1, p. 293, 2011 Cardozo Legal Studies Research Paper No. 354 Abstract: The law often limits the liability of an intermediary for the speech it carries.

EU Public Consultation. Electronic commerce constitutes an important means to promote cross-border trade, improving the accessibility of Europe’s population to more varied products, to more qualitative products, and exerting greater price competition in the on-line and off-line world.
However, 10 years after the adoption of the “directive concerning certain legal aspects of information society services1 and, in particular, electronic commerce” the so-called Electronic Commerce Directive, the development of retail electronic commerce remains limited to less than 2% of European total retail trade. The “Electronic Commerce” Directive (hereafter also named “the Directive”) aims to remove barriers to the establishment of providers of information society services and to the cross-border provision of on-line services in the internal market, therefore giving both to businesses and citizens legal certainty.
The Directive has five key provisions: EU Study on intermed liab. European Commission » Internal Market » Online services » E-Commerce Directive. Introduction of the Directive The Electronic Commerce Directive, adopted in 2000, sets up an Internal Market framework for electronic commerce, which provides legal certainty for business and consumers alike.
It establishes harmonised rules on issues such as the transparency and information requirements for online service providers, commercial communications, electronic contracts and limitations of liability of intermediary service providers. The proper functioning of the Internal Market in electronic commerce is ensured by the Internal Market clause, which means that information society services are, in principle, subject to the law of the Member State in which the service provider is established.
In turn, the Member State in which the information society service is received cannot restrict incoming services. UGC. Versité du Luxembourg - Media Law.
