Session teaser

What is this session about?(1 sentence) The European Digital Single Market is a next challenge to provide new opportunities on various levels including jobs, entrepreneurship and skills development.

Session description

The European Digital Single Market Strategy will be released just ahead the EuroDIG. It is aimed at removing barriers and fragmentations in the EU Digital Single Market. Existing EU proposals intend to create one Single Market, notably for net neutrality, abolishment of EU roaming surcharges, and online sales restrictions. Discussions during the Opening plenary need an encouraging and positive spin to reach the next level. Now is the time to shape European rules in these areas by providing incentives which would be positive for consumers, businesses, and citizens' rights. Another important aspect is how to bridge existing digital gaps between Western and South-Eastern economies, infrastructures, markets, environments and access conditions?
