Amendment 213 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
13. Considers that the current transparency and information requirements set out in the E-Commerce Directive on information society services providers and their business customers, and the minimum information requirements on commercial communications, should be substantially strengthened; for providers of information society services which are directed primarily at consumers, which act as the intermediary between the trader and the consumer or which provide the trading interface for the online sale of goods1а; __________________ 1а Justification: Addressing existing shortcomings in the transparency and obligation requirements of the E- Commerce Directive through a “one-size- fits-all” approach may not be the most appropriate solution. Instead, a market- relevant and consumer-oriented alternative would consist in promoting rules which account of the fact that different types of services merit different rules. Setting stronger consumer protection rules can be consistent with the promotion of ICT deployment in Europe, i.e. in setting specific rules for information society service providers depending on whether they are a concerned party in the provision of a business-to-consumer good or service, while balancing the need to safeguard the smoothness and speed of online business transactions.
