EP to tackle e-commerce and financial services

On 20 September the European Parliament (EP) plenary will vote on the Commission's communication on e-commerce and financial services. On 27 August the EP Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market decided that timely transposition of this legislation, reinforcing the country of origin principle for on-line transactions and without extending the scope of the agreed derogations, forms the foundation for an integrated EU financial services market.
