Single ecommerce law 'good for customers and retailers'
Ecommerce businesses would benefit from the introduction of a new option retail law that would apply throughout the EU, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) has claimed.
Proposals from the European Commission outline plans to allow retailers to opt to make sales under a single contract law, rather than the requirement to comply with different legislations in each of the 27 member states.
According to the BRC, the introduction of the new law would also benefit consumers by providing a common high level of protection for cross-border ecommerce purchases.
Stephen Robertson, the organisation's director general, suggested that the new guidelines would allow UK retailers to expand into a number of different markets on a wider scale.
"This has the potential to boost British exports of goods throughout the EU and so boost growth and jobs in the UK," he added.
Meanwhile, the BRC recently announced the launch of the Tackling Retail Crime Together website to highlight the work brands carry out to tackle illegal activity.
