Session teaser

The digital economy is developing towards more convergence of different services which are bundled into integrated offers. Such are for example new ways of providing media services and connected vehicles where you can both drive and use new digital services. In addition, markets are integrating and borders becoming more blurred with increased cross-border trading. This development coupled with shorter innovation cycles there is a demand to rethink consumer rights. One of the core issue to address is how to achieve an effective legislative framework which ensures trust and empowers consumers, with clear and predictable rules for both users and industry creating a well-functioning market. This issue will be addressed in the perspective of ongoing legislative debates on an international as well as regional level.

Keywords
