The report also aims at ensuring consumer's choice and consumer's welfare in the platform economy, provide opportunities and ensuring a level playing field for all actors, as well as to avoid abuses in the use of mediation mechanisms, and tackling fragmentation in the internal market.
The importance of the digital economy is widely acknowledged, and the EU has adopted numerous initiatives over the past years to promote the DSM and to exploit the growth opportunities offered by the digital economy. In the past few years, important progress has been made but, however, it is clear that the DSM is far from complete: business and consumers continue facing significant barriers that prevent them from reaping the full benefits it has to offer. The WG Group will continue pursuing its aim of advancing further towards completion of the DSM, unleashing its potential and capitalise on new business opportunities that the digital economy could bring to the EU.
