The European Union's executive arm has begun debating a draft text covering issues such as advertising, electronic contracts, liability for illegal content and professional standards. It is expected to issue a formal proposal in several weeks. The draft, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, sets out the basic principle that a company offering electronic services -- such as publications, home shopping, legal advice or video games -- should be subject to rules of the country where it is established. Except in unusual circumstances -- for example, a threat to children or public safety -- an EU country could not block a service that had been authorized in one of its 14 EU partners. That "country of origin" principle is music to the ears of companies engaged heavily in electronic commerce, who fear any hint of a regime that would force them to comply with a patchwork of different national laws. The International Communications Round Table, which groups more than 25 publishing, computer and communications companies including Bertelsmann AG, Microsoft Europe and Reuters Group Plc , has already issued a resolution on the text that warns the EU to avoid the alternative "country of reception" approach. It said that would particularly hurt smaller companies, which "are the least able to afford the many management and legal costs involved in complying with regulatory regimes in all of the countries in which they conduct business." However, it will face opposition from the European consumers group BEUC as the legislation goes through EU ministers and the European Parliament. BEUC argues that electronic buyers should be able to rely on national consumer protection laws. "(The country of origin approach) is too unilateral and doesn't take into account the interests of consumers," BEUC legal adviser Ursula Pachl said. .... -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1998-10-15 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
