Objective
On 9 December 2015 the European Commission published two proposals for Directives covering harmonised rules for the supply of digital content and mandatory contract rights for online and distance sales of goods in order to fully unleash the potential of e commerce in the Digital Single Market.
Věra Jourová, European Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality will give the keynote speech.
This conference will offer a platform particularly for legal practitioners to debate the central issues of these highly controversial proposals at an early stage in the legislative process.
Key topics
- Scope of the proposed directives
- How to define conformity?

- Specifics for the supply of digital content
