The EU would encourage global e-commerce

The European Union (EU) seeks to introduce international rules that would encourage global e-commerce, making it easier for businesses in the sector – especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – to gain confidence in the online environment of consumers – theForeign Ministers of the Member States of the European Union said in Brussels on Monday.
