EU Digital Single Market: What does it mean? What are the implications for Australia-EU e-trade?

This seminar will focus on the progress in implementing the EU DSM (including the General Data Protection Regulation) and its implications for EU-Australia ICT cooperation, especially in research and innovation.

The EU Digital Single Market (DSM), launched in May 2015, is the strategy of the European Commission to ensure cross-border access to online activities for individuals and businesses in Europe under conditions of fair competition, consumer and data protection, updated copyright rules, and the removal of geo-blocking.

This seminar will focus on the progress in implementing the EU DSM (including the General Data Protection Regulation) and its implications for EU-Australia ICT cooperation, especially in research and innovation. Some consideration will also be given to implications for Australian e-trade and the the current negotiations for the EU-Australia Free Trade Agreement.
