Infos

The enhancement of e-commerce nowadays is one of the important policy issues in the European Union. To this purpose the laws of the EU Member States should be further harmonised. The European Union has adopted a number of Directives relating to different aspects of e-commerce which should be implemented in the laws of the Member States.eDirectives: Guide to European Union Law on E-Commerce provides article-by-article comments on four Directives central to the regulation of electronic commerce in the European Union (EU), viz. 97/7/EC on distance selling; 1999/93/EC on electronic signatures; 2000/31/EC on electronic commerce; and 2001/29/EC on copyright in the information society. In addition, a separate chapter deals with e-commerce and privacy protection, while the opening chapter discusses all other EU initiatives relevant to the regulation of e-commerce.This book is meant as a comprehensive legal source of e-commerce legislation for both academics (LLM-students and academic staff) and practitioners (attorneys, company lawyers, consultants). It is not only of interest to readers in the EU-Member States (because their national law is or is about to be adapted to the EU Directives), but also to readers in aspirant Member States of the EU, as well as to readers in other countries where e-commerce has emerged, like the United States of America.Dr. Arno R. Lodder & Professor Henrik W.K. Kaspersen are affiliated to the Computer/Law Institute of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Other authors include Professor Jos Dumortier (Belgium); Professor Michel Vivant (France); Julia Hrnle; Gavin Sutter; and Dr. Ian Walden (UK).
