Abstract
On April, 13th 2011, the European Commission (EC) launched an agenda to boost economic growth and strengthen confidence with respect to the inner-European trade in a document referred to as “Single Market Act – Working together to create new growth” [EC 2011]. The main goal of the Single Market Act is to increase the portion of electronic commerce measured by the totality of inner-European trade from 3.4% to 6.8% until the year 2015. Part of the agenda is to ease access to inner-European but international products and services on the internet, by establishing a single digital market ([EC 2011], pp.12-14).
