"Mr President, we do need to work together across Europe to make sure that the single market is fit for a digital age, but we must get the detail right, we do not want to put an unnecessary handbrake on the digital economy.
On geo-blocking: in traditional markets we do not force retailers to open their stores in all 28 markets. But now a store would have to work out whether or not they are complying with the national rules in all 28 countries, and this could be very burdensome especially for smaller companies. So instead of giving consumers more choice we just risk that smaller stores will not go online at all.
On platforms, Commissioner, thank you for stepping back from the brink and not coming up with a new regulation, but please be careful. Platforms are growing because consumers like them, and I want to see more platforms, and more competition in platforms. Change in the intermediary liability could be very destabilising, especially for smaller start-ups in the shared economy and in e-commerce.
And on media services, our consumers love the diversity of new media: new media services are not the same as traditional media offers and we need to make that distinction."@en1
