“…This style of regulatory interventions is explicitly supported by the ECD. 1745 The EU saw self-regulation as a more flexible tool than Directives or Regulations 1746 to deal effectively with the rapid market and technological changes introduced by the internet. But even with its latest legislations, such as the DSMD, the EU does not seem to have departed from its selfregulatory path.…”

Illegal content remains a persistent and growing issue on the internet. This book reviews seven problematic areas - defamation, hate speech, terrorist content, copyright, counterfeit, unsafe products and food - to illustrate that the fight against unlawful content on online platforms in the EU is hampered by fragmented and outdated laws. Meanwhile, the global internet companies that govern our digital spaces enforce their own policies, based on commercial objectives, and with secondary regard for public values and individuals’ rights. The book subsequently charts out a solution of how EU lawmakers can bring social media and the like to take on adequate responsibilities for protecting users and public interests. The author argues that a safety-by-design approach, supported by technical standards, can be an effective way for implementing these new duties. Carsten Ullrich is a legal researcher at the University of Luxembourg, where he works on the regulation of digital technologies. The doctoral thesis on which this book is based was awarded the Rolf Tarrach Prize 2021 for the best dissertation in Luxembourg.

“…13 ECD This provision protects providers from being held liable for cached content on their services. 469 In order to benefit from exemptions of liability of cached content, the intermediary service provider must meet five conditions. These five conditions essentially say that the provider must not interfere with the cached content beyond what is technically necessary and required by industry standards.…”

Can the rules of the European Union’s E-Commerce Directive, which date back to the year 2000, continue to be valid with regard to the dissemination of content in view of the constantly evolving online environment and the changing role of platforms as a result of new business models? The relevant legal foundations in this respect at EU and national level are complex, and their interplay is often unclear. The resulting uncertainty about who is responsible and therefore liable for certain content requires a critical review of the current legal framework. This study, conducted by the Institute of European Media Law (EMR) on behalf of the State Media Authority NRW, analyses the current legal framework and reveals ways of enforcing the applicable provisions concerning illegal content. It pays special attention to the need for reform of the E-Commerce Directive in light of the changing role of platforms.

“…The establishment of an internal market where goods and services are exchanged without tax and administrative obstacles between the member states is a fundamental objective of the European Community. 13 VAT Directive may be compared to a multinacional VAT treaty agreement between EU Member states. 14 E-commerce creates VAT compilance and reporting obligations for business that can be chalenging and burdensome.…”

“…The EU Commission feels that the application of the destination principle provides a basis for a sustainable solution to the challenges raised by the digital economy, on the basis that it should ensure a level playing fi eld for operators providing goods and services from a remote location. In this respect, the meaning of the term"digital e-commerce"as the subject matter of this guide needs further clarifi cation -this is because a distinction needs to be made for VAT purposes between the following types of supply: 13 Alexiou C., Morrison D., The cross-border electronic supply eu-vat rules: lessons for Australian gst, available at http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/RevenueLawJl/2004/7.pdf last accessed on 12/6/2017 1. a supply of digital products delivered over the internet without needing a distinct physical presence in the markets in which the service provider operates -this also covers digital products kept at a central data centre and distributed as a service (e.g. cloud services);…”

The dynamics of economic and technological development incur permanent changes in taxation on VAT. Cross-border e-commerce has the potential to reshape and step up the European internal market for consumers through encouraging businesses to sell to consumers abroad and increasing consumer confi dence in cross-border purchases. While e-commerce has the potential to increase EU welfare substantially, it also faces a number of regulatory barriers in VAT system that block the realisation of this potential. We are at a critical turning point, when it is necessary to set the right foundations in the VAT system so that digital market can work without problems. Current legislation on VAT introduces uncertainty and ambiguity, which will most likely lead to disputes.
