The Digital Single Market strategy was adopted on May 6th 2015, and is one of the European Commission’s 10 political priorities. It is made up of three policy pillars [7]:
A. Improving access to digital goods and services: By removing barriers to cross-border e-commerce and access to online content while increasing consumer protection.
B. An environment where digital networks and services can prosper: The Digital Single Market aims to create the right environment for digital networks and services by providing high-speed, secure and trustworthy infrastructures and services supported by the right regulatory conditions. Key concerns include cybersecurity, data protection/e-privacy, and the fairness and transparency of online platforms.
C. Digital as a driver for growth: The Digital Single Market Strategy aims at maximising the growth potential of the European Digital Economy, so that every European can fully enjoy its benefits – notably by enhancing digital skills, which are essential for an inclusive digital society.
