Background:

  • Innovations by digital SMEs have a key role to play in securing long-term, sustainable economic growth in Europe. Yet Europe’s IT-SMEs often remain small, vulnerable to international competition and represent only a tiny portion of international trade. Rather than establishing large state-funded IT/internet projects – as various politicians have suggested in reaction to US intelligence surveillance – we need to find ways of maximizing the competitiveness of European digital companies, particularly SMEs, whilst maintaining an open Internet. SMEs are the backbone of the European economy, crucial for jobs and drivers of innovation. A range of challenges and opportunities could be discussed in this context, with a particular focus on the internationalisation of SMEs and access to (emerging) markets.
  • Crossborder interference with parts of the infrastructure of the Internet, specifically with traffic- routing and at the interface between the network and the content, effects Internet users’ ability to access or provide content and services. The concern is not just with outages or security incidents, but with actions to block, filter, divert or intercept content in one Member State, that may impact on users who are based in another Member State. This may result in cross-¬border (human rights) implications for access to content and information carried by that traffic.
