Tackle barriers to EU digital single market - Kelly

Removing barriers to a digital single market must be a priority to support EU businesses and consumers. This is the opinion of the Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly.The digital single market aims to create new opportunities through e-commerce, facilitate administrative and financial compliance for businesses and increase the online power of customers. Speaking from the European Parliament [Sept '14] Mr Kelly said small and rural businesses could especially benefit from an EU digital single market resulting in a much wider customer base. However Mr Kelly also warned that obstacles like unequal application of EU regulations and directives had to be dealt with.
