Recital 1

~~(1) In order to remain competitive on global markets, the Union needs to~~1. The European Union is not responding successfully ~~answer~~to the multiple challenges raised today by an increasingly technologically-driven economy. The Digital Single Market Strategy38 lays down a comprehensive framework facilitating the integration of the digital dimension into the Single Market. The first pillar of the Strategy tackles the digital economy with a view to remaining competitive on global markets. The Digital Single Market Strategy38 is the wrong answer to what is a structural problem. The aim of the Strategy is to combat the ill-termed 'fragmentation' in intra- EU trade ~~by approaching all~~so as to eliminate major obstacles to the development of cross- border e- commerce. The concept of these 'obstacles' is vague and they can be useful or not according to whether one is defending a domestic market or attacking a neighbouring one. _________________ 38 COM (2015) 192 final.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 6

(6) Existing disparities may adversely affect businesses and consumers in some cases while affording them protection in others. Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council40 , businesses directing activities to consumers in other Member States need to take account of the mandatory consumer contract law rules of the consumer’s country of habitual residence. As these rules differ among Member States, businesses ~~may be faced with~~face additional costs. Consequently ~~many~~, businesses may prefer to continue trading domestically or only export to one or two Member States. That choice of minimising exposure to costs and risks associated with cross- border e-commerce results in lost opportunities of commercial expansion and economies of scale. Small and medium enterprises are in particular affected. _________________ 40 Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I) OJ L177, 4.7.2008, p.6.

Recital 10

(10) IWhile increased competition among retailers is likely to result in wider choices at more competitive prices being offered to consumers. Consumers will benefit from a high level of consumer protection and welfare gains through targeted fully harmonised rules. This in turn would increase their trust in the cross-border commerce at a distance and in particular online. Consumers will more confidcross-border retailers might result in consumers being offered wider choices at more competitive prices, its main effect is to squeeze economic operators at national level, as evidenced from the systemic nature of rising unemployment and frequently bu~~y at a distance cross-border knowing they would enjoy the same rights across the Union~~siness and factory closures.
