Geo-blocking: removing barriers to e-commerce 

 

The Council agreed on a general approach to ban unjustified geo-blocking within the internal market. 

 

The draft regulation is aimed at preventing discrimination in cross-border sales of goods and services based on customers' nationality, place of residence or place of establishment. 

 

"Shopping online from another EU country in the same way as locals do is something that many citizens expect nowadays. The new rules to stop unjustified geo-blocking will improve considerably the e-commerce economy and give citizens access to a wider choice of goods and services".

 

Peter Žiga, Minister of Economy of Slovakia
