EU Digital Single Market Strategy: An executive briefing on DSM strategy, objectives and implementation Opening Remarks by: H.E. David O'Sullivan, EU Ambassador to the U.S. Briefing with: Andrea Glorioso, Counsellor for the Digital Economy/Cyber In May 2015 the European Commission announced the Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy: an ambitious initiative to remove regulatory walls and take the EU’s single market of 508 million people from the physical to the digital space. Since then the Commission has published 16 targeted regulatory and non-regulatory actions, addressing everything from privacy to cyber-security, and telecommunications to digital manufacturing. But what are the next steps for these proposals? And how do the DSM actions intersect with these policy discussions in the U.S.? The EU Delegation to the US invites you to an executive briefing to discuss the Digital Single Market strategy in light of the upcoming DSM midterm review in May 2017. Andrea Glorioso, Counsellor for the Digital Economy/Cyber, will shed some light on the objectives and implementation of the DSM, and the importance of transatlantic coordination to avoid regulatory/policy fragmentation within the world's largest trading bloc.

Abuse of EU Law and Regulation of the Internal Market short clip
Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=rolfclaessen As of 23 March 2016, the office will no longer be called OHIM but rather European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Also, the Community Trademarks will then become European Union trade marks. The Regulation (EU) No 2015/2424 will also lead to other changes that I will cover in a future video. The office is based in beautiful Alicante in Spain and is headed by António Campinos. It was formed in 1994 to allow for the administration of EU wide trademarks and designs. Since then, Community Trademarks, or short CTMs, have become very popular and national trademark filings in some EU countries have decreased over the last decades. Besides the registration of trademarks and designs, the Office is providing some very useful additional services: TMView is a database, where you can search for identical and similar trademarks in many countries, including all EU countries, Japan, the US, China, and Switzerland. TMview is basically a global trade mark search tool that provides first hand data about trade marks from the participating intellectual property offices. Access to over 20 million trade marks online. Available for free at www.tmdn.org https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/welcome.html?lang=de https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScsHsTGjVjg I also offer a tutorial on how to use this database at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmn_vGs2he0 DesignView is a database, where you can search for designs in many countries, including all EU countries, Korea, the US, and China. https://www.tmdn.org/tmdsview-web/welcome# TMClass is a database, where you can search for accepted terms of goods and services in many countries as well as the harmonized database of EU countries. The database also hosts a subset of terms TM5 that are accepted by the 5 major trademark offices in the World. http://oami.europa.eu/ec2/?lang=en http://oami.europa.eu/ec2/tm5 The OHIM is also hosting the EU Observatory, which is dedicated to the enforcement of intellectual property rights, the fight against counterfeit goods as well as the education of the public. Another really helpful event that is hosted by the OHIM is European judges' symposium every two years. Judges from Member States and candidate countries attend these Symposia along with representatives from the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance. Working sessions focus on absolute and relative grounds for refusing registration of a Community trade mark, proceedings brought before the Community trade mark courts and the impact of EU enlargement on the Community trade mark system.

The recent developments regarding internal market regulation have taken place on two frontiers. The fight against unemployment and the efforts to boost economic growth builds upon the Single Market Acts. While the traditional principles of free trade still weigh heavily, can the same be said of the emergence of the tight network of financial service regulations? Since "L'Europe sociale" is firmly on the agenda, is the crisis restructuring the internal market, moving it away from liberalization? Are the internal market solutions in sync with those of the Eurozone? For this lecture we have assembled the following panel: Prof. Em. Jonathan Faull, Director General, DG Internal Market and services Prof. Dr. Harri Kalimo, Senior Research Fellow, Institute for European Studies (Chair) This is the third session of a series of lectures on "EU Economic law in a Time of Crisis" organised by the Institute for European Studies at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel

ECR MEP from Flanders Anneleen Van Bossuyt is writing a report for the European Parliament's internal market committee on better regulation. Here she sets out what she believes is needed for the EU to focus more on producing and implementing better legislation. As a new member of the European Parliament for ECR I am glad to have been entrusted with the report on better regulation in the internal market. Today the European Union experiences a lot of problems on this front. Europe deals with overregulation. It is believed that Europe is only doing well if it is making legislation. However, much legislation is not necessary better legislation. On the contrary, less legislation can also result in good or even better legislation. The current European overregulation leads among others to great administrative burdens for our SME's. SME's which are primordial in creating the jobs and economic growth we need so hard today. Now, how should we tackle this overregulation? Firstly, the EU needs to focus on those matters which cannot be dealt with at national or local level. The EU needs to focus on those areas where she adds a value. For example with regard to the climate change: this problem cannot be dealt with by separate national governments but can only be dealt with by Europe. Secondly, new legislation should be balanced and easily enforceable. Only in this way, legislation can reach its targets. More concretely, the European institutions should raise their sense of accountability. They need to realise that it is not just about making new legislation, but about making better legislation. Moreover, legislation needs to be evaluated more often. On the one hand it needs to be evaluated before and during the legislative process (what is the outcome of certain legislation, what does it cost once put to practice, etc.?) and on the other hand after the legislation has been put to practice (what were the consequences of the legislation? Does the legislation need to be adjusted? etc.) The European Parliament itself has a major role to play in this debate. For instance, all too often amendments are being implemented during triologues without thinking about the consequences or the cost of their implementation. This needs to change. It is our task as members of the European Parliament to establish better legislation and regulation. It is the only way to convince our citizens that Europe is necessary and can be of great value. Video: betere regulering interne markt Als nieuw Europees Parlementslid voor de ECR ben ik enorm verheugd dat het rapport voor betere regelgeving in de interne markt aan mij werd toegewezen. Vandaag de dag kampt de Europese Unie met een groot probleem op dit vlak. Europa kampt met een vorm van regeldrift, een Europese regelmentitis. Er bestaat vandaag een cultuur van "we zijn enkel goed bezig als we wetgeving aan het maken zijn". Echter, ook minder wetgeving kan voor goede wetgeving zorgen. Ten tweede zorgt de Europese regelgeving vandaag de dag al te vaak voor administratieve lasten voor onze KMO's, KMO's die vandaag belangrijk zijn voor het creëren van de broodnodige groei en jobs. Wat moet er dan gebeuren? Eerst en vooral moet Europa zich bezig houden met die zaken die we niet kunnen aanpakken op nationaal of lokaal niveau. Europa moet zich bezig houden met die zaken waar ze een meerwaarde kan bieden. Denken we bvb. aan de klimaatsproblematiek: dit kan elk land niet apart op nationaal niveau oplossen, hiervoor hebben we Europa nodig. Ten tweede is het belangrijk dat wanneer men wetgeving maakt, dat die eenvoudig, gemakkelijk en gemakkelijk toepasbaar is. Enkel op die manier kan wetgeving haar doelstellingen bereiken. Hoe kunnen we dit concreet aanpakken? Het is belangrijk dat er meer verantwoordelijkheidszin aan de dag wordt gelegd bij de Europese instellingen. Men moet zich bewust worden van de noodzaak aan betere regelgeving. Daarnaast is er meer evaluatie van wetgeving nodig. Dit zowel vooraf en tijdens het wetgevend proces (wat zijn de gevolgen van bepaalde wetgeving, wat is de kostprijs, enz.), als achteraf (welke effecten had de wetgeving, waar dient de wetgeving bijgestuurd te worden, enz.). Het Europees Parlement kan en moet hierbij een belangrijke rol spelen. Zo worden er vandaag tijdens triloogonderhandelingen al te vaak amendementen ingediend, zonder dat er wordt nagedacht over de gevolgen of kosten hiervan. Dit mag niet meer gebeuren. Het is onze taak om deze zaken aan te pakken. Enkel zo kunnen we de burger overtuigen dat Europa echt nodig is en een meerwaarde kan bieden!

BOOK REVIEW PRIVATE LAW AND THE INTERNAL MARKET Direct Horizontal Effect of the Treaty Provisions on Free Movement By Roel van Leuken Translated from the Dutch by Lou Punt-Heyning ISBN: 978 1 78068 466 6 INTERSENTIA www.intersentia.com _________________________________________________ THE LAW OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AT A CROSSROADS WITH THE INTERNAL MARKET An appreciation by Elizabeth Robson Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers and Reviews Editor, “The Barrister” Make no mistake, we need a book like this at this time from the excellent specialist publishers on European matters, Intersentia. Not just because of the decision to Brexit, foolhardy though it may seem to many people here in UK and on the continent. But also because of the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Roel van Leuken writes that the book was triggered because the CJEU “has interpreted a number of free movement provisions of primary EU law as having direct influence on private law relationships”. Of particular concern at the present time is how the internal market will function in the next decade as Britain leaves. Much, of course, remains unclear because we are all entering new territory. Van Leuken’s mission is to “seek out the links between the Court’s ruling on the issues”. He also examines the rulings “by analysing them against the background of the various mechanisms used by EU law to influence national private law. Van Leuken also looks at whether the approach taken by the CJEU to one free movement provision “can be predictive for other free movement provisions” and, if that is the case to estimate its extent. As the author says, “private law and private law relationships in Member States of the European Union are increasingly influenced by EU law”. And van Leuken writes “sometimes, this influence is predictable”. And he gives an example where EU law provides expressly that violation of a rule shall produce a specific private law effect covered by Article 101(2) TFEU. He goes on to remark that “less predictable are the consequences where the CJEU interprets provisions of EU law ostensibly addressed to the Member States such as creating, modifying or extinguishing rights and obligations in legal relationships between individuals”. Since 1974, the ECJ, now CJEU has given interpretations to such direct horizontal effect to some of the TFEU provisions on free movement which we found very helpful. “Private Law and the Internal Market” sets out to establish the links between the relevant judgments in useful detail. He also discusses the impact which accepting direct horizontal effect has on the grounds that must be available to individuals as a defence to alleged infringement of a free movement provision. This most thoughtful work is another title from Intersentia who are based in Cambridge, Antwerp and Portland. Intersentia provides us, as EU lawyers with some of the most useful contemporary practitioner and academic commentaries which make our professional lives so much easier. Thank you. The book was published on 1st May 2017 and has been translated from the original Dutch by Lou Punt-Heyning.

The European Commission's Digital Single Market Strategy is intended to break down the numerous barriers to cross-border online activity that currently exist in the European Union. The proposal covers a broad array of policies, including harmonizing EU rules for online purchases of goods, improving cross-border parcel delivery, integrating telecommunications regulation, and reducing burdens of different VAT regimes. While many of these proposals do not seem controversial—at least on this side of the Atlantic—some require closer scrutiny. For example, the strategy document includes a section on online platforms, reflecting the support of some officials for a general regulatory framework for "essential digital platforms." In addition, the Commission is launching an inquiry in tandem with the Digital Single Market Strategy on the application of competition law in the e-commerce area. Listen in as panelists evaluate the Digital Single Market strategy's effect on economies and, most importantly, incentives to innovate, on both sides of the Atlantic.

Scrapping the costly/pointless Single Market Regulations
#ProjectFear hookwinked the Left, in the campaign, by equating EU Regulations with Employment Rights. In reality the majority of EU regulations are to do with anything & everything else. John Longworth proposes a sunset clause on all EU regulations, that they will all expire 5 years from Brexit day, unless they are actively engaged back onto books. This stops passive re-adoption. History suggests, Whitehall WILL RESIST all deregulation attempts. Open Europe estimates that the 100 most expensive EU regulations set back the UK economy by £27.4 billion a year. Such a de-regulation of business, would be an effective tax cut of 1.2% of GDP. John Longworth at Select Committee Rooms, 7th December 2016.

Roundtable: Priorities for completing the internal electricity market Gunnar Lorenz| Eurelectric Robert Staschus| ENTSO-E Hans Randen | NordPool Spot/Europex Session 3: Progress Towards the Creation of an Internal Gas Market 11:00 Dennis Hesseling | ACER, Where do we stand? Roundtable: Priorities for completing the internal gas market Tom Maes | AGWG, (Via conference call, not in video) Vittorio Musazzi | ENTSOG Overview: In the conclusion of its meeting on 4 February 2011, the Council of the European Union set 2014 as the target date for the completion of the Internal Electricity and Gas Markets. This goal was reaffirmed in the conclusions of the meeting on 22 May 2013. Significant progress has been achieved towards meeting this objective, both in terms of the development of the required market and network operation rules and on the ground. In fact, in terms of rulemaking, two network codes have already been adopted, a third one should be adopted soon and ten more have already been recommended for adoption to the European Commission and they could soon enter into the Comitology process. Moreover, a number of the main provisions in these network codes have already been implemented in practice, through the voluntary cooperation of national regulatory authorities (NRAs), transmission system operators (TSOs) and other stakeholders. This early implementation approach has been supported by the Agency for Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), which has coordinated the definition of a number of Roadmaps for the rapid and effective integration of the electricity and gas markets, to deliver tangible benefits to EU energy consumers as soon as possible. In the electricity day-ahead timeframe, a single market-coupling platform operates, since May 2014, to determine prices and cross-border flows on a large part of the EU, from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Barents Sea. Similarly, a single platform is already used for allocating capacity on the majority of internal EU gas interconnection points. However much still remains to be done. The first coordinated auction for long-term electricity cross-border transmission rights is expected to take place in the second half of 2015, on the basis of harmonised auction rules currently being developed. In the intra-day timeframe of the internal electricity market, the development of a single continuous-trading, market-coupling platform has been repeatedly delayed and the go-live is now expected by the end of 2015 at the earliest, more than two years later than originally planned. Liquidity of many gas hubs still needs to be enhanced so that they could provide robust price signals to determine the efficient flow of gas across the EU. A well-functioning internal energy market is also increasingly recognised as an important contributor to the security of energy supply of the EU, as well as a pre-requisite for any additional measure to promote such security. This Workshop aims at reviewing progress in the creation of a single market in electricity and gas across the EU and at identifying what is still missing so that EU consumers can reap the full benefits. The Workshop will be structured in three sessions. Session I will be devoted to assess energy consumers’ expectations from the internal energy market and the benefits already accrued to them. Sessions II and III will aim at reviewing progress towards the creation of a single market in electricity and natural gas, respectively.

EurActiv article: http://www.euractiv.com/specialreport-jobs-growth/barnier-launches-growth-drivers-news-515169 The Single Market is considered by many as the biggest European achievement since the Union was created. It was born 20 years ago to ensure EU citizens can live, work, study or shop in any country. With more than 500 million consumers, EU businesses are also free to sell their goods and services anywwhere across the continent. Today, the European Commission believes that the single market holds the key to get Europe out of the crisis. European Commission's vice-president Michel Barnier on Wednesday put forward new proposals to further develop the single market. The plan aims at increasing growth, employment and confidence in the EU. 'I am very happy to confirm that this morning, the college adopted the Single market act II. This is a collective piece of work and it is a very important piece of work. It is the follow up to the first stage of the single market act which we presented a year ago in a context of very lucid diagnosis of the internal market which Mario Monti had carried out', said Commissioner for Internal Market Michel Barnier. Improving cross-border mobility of citizens and business across Europe or the digital economy are some of the new proposals. Barnier expects five of the 12 proposals to be adopted by the end of the year "if there is political will". 'Now, we think that 5 of these 12 proposals, if the political willing is there in the Council and the Parliament, these five could be adopted by the end of this year; the one on patent, strengthen cooperation, the risk capital passport, the investment fund for social entrepreneurship and the proposal on alternative conflict settlement and the directive on the counting standards', said Commissioner for Internal Market Michel Barnier. The first Single Market Act was adopted in April 2011 as a response to the economic crisis. Some of its proposals are still being discussed by Parliament and ministers. -0-

#Digital Single Market: mid-term review
The internet and digital technologies are transforming our world; but existing barriers online mean citizens miss out on goods and services, internet companies and startups have their horizons limited, and businesses and governments cannot fully benefit from digital tools. Therefore, the European Commission launched the Digital Single Market in May 2015. Since then, the Commission has delivered on 16 key measures, presenting 35 proposals and policy initiatives in total. Having reached the middle of its mandate, it is now time to review the progress of the Digital Single Market strategy. This video shows the key areas where progress has been made and co-legislators’ actions are needed. The review also identifies 3 areas where further EU action is needed: (1) to develop the European Data Economy to its full potential, (2) to protect Europe's assets by tackling cybersecurity challenges, and (3) to promote the online platforms as responsible players of a fair internet ecosystem

New EU rules allow Europeans to shop online without borders - Digital Single Market
On 3rd of December 2018 the new regulation proposed by the European Commission in May 2016 to end unjustified geoblocking online will enter into force. Europeans will not have to worry about a website blocking or re-routing them just because they, or their credit card, come from a different country. Wherever they are in the EU, they will be able to access goods and services online. On this occasion, Vice-President for the Digital Single Market Andrus Ansip, Commissioner in charge of Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship gave a press conference in Brussels.

At this event we discussed the economic impact of geo-blocking, having as a starting point the Commission’s regulatory proposal for lifting geo-blocking restrictions in physical goods and non-copyrighted services. Session 1 focused on non-audiovisual copyrighted services such as online music and ebooks. On 25 April 2017 the European Parliament’s Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection voted in favor of extending the Commission's to these services. Bertin Martens presented his recent research work on the impact of removing geo-blocking restrictions on consumers and producers. His presentation was followed by a panel discussion about whether, and under what conditions, we should remove geo-blocking practices from such sectors. Session 2 dealed with geo-blocking measures in the audiovisual sector. Scott Marcus presented the Bruegel study on extending the scope of geo-blocking prohibition in the industry while experts commented on the associated arguments that go for or against such an extension.

Moving freely within the EU seems obvious today, but it was only in 1993 that this single market came into force. It's one of the EU's greatest achievements. With no more barriers or internal borders in the EU, the common market finally became a reality. It had been talked about since the Treaty of Rome which created the European Community in 1957. The creation of a common market was the main objective. The Chair of the Socialists and Democrats in the EP looks back on the goal at the time. It was the goal to give Europe a new boost, to have integration stepping forward, and to have free movement of goods, capital, services and human beings. You cannot build a common Europe without having a common market. On these four fundamental freedoms, the six founding Member States decided to build a real European Economic Community. The first notable advance was on 1 July 1968. The customs duties on goods circulating between Member States were completely removed. But we had to wait until 1985 for the leaders to decide to come back to the realisation of this single market. Wilfried Martens was the Belgian Prime Minister at the time and took part in the discussions. The single market was a response to a long-standing crisis after the oil crisis which caused a lot of inflation with rising prices and which therefore created unemployment. A common response was presented in 1985 by the European Commission under Jacques Delors. The Community decided to complete the construction of the great internal market in stages. It was to be finalised at the start of 1993. This ambitious goal and date were written into the Single European Act signed in February 1986. A whole series of internal barriers and borders within the European Community were gradually removed. So we had to adopt European laws - in total, I think, over 290 were adopted - to create the single market. In 1992 in Maastricht, the 12 Member States at the time went further than the Community's initial economic goal. After another crisis and following the fall of the Berlin Wall, monetary union was planned. The euro would come into use 10 years later. To counter the opposition from Britain's Margaret Thatcher, a proposal was made to Jacques Delors, Wilfried Martens recalls, to set up a system which is today called 'opting out'. So they could say that they accepted the principle, but 'opting out' meant they wouldn't enter the system. He said, 'It's possible.' And it's still the case. Great Britain and Denmark still have the opting out system. On 1 January 1993 the borders between EU countries disappeared physically. The common market made way for the European Single Market, generating over 2.5 million extra jobs and offering a market that covers nearly half a billion consumers. But the market has not been fully completed yet. The European Union was enlarged. New member countries came in and new competitive situations are there. We have a new competitive situation with China and other countries outside Europe. The most important thing is to establish this economic governance and to create this political union. 20 years on, the single market needs renewed impetus, but it remains to be seen whether the political will is there. But that's another story. EuroparlTV video ID: cd2f29e8-881a-4f11-bcf3-a07d010e9bf3

The Digital Single Market [Policy Podcast]
Recent estimates by the European Parliament suggest that moving from 28 national markets to a single one could contribute €415 billion per year to our economy and create millions of new jobs. The EU's single market is one of the greatest successes of European integration. But switch from the physical to the online, and you'll see the picture is not quite the same. Find out about the progress and challenges facing the EU digital single market in this EPRS policy podcast. Subscribe to EPRS Policy Podcasts: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/rss/en/audio-podcasts.html

The regulation and design of the internal market for electricity are currently under negotiation in Brussels. New rules, once agreed, will make the internal electricity market more flexible and competitive to give the right signals to investors and to empower consumers and businesses. Meanwhile, agreement has been reached by EU institutions in recent weeks on other key pieces of legislation concerning renewable energy, energy efficiency and the governance of the EU’s Energy Union flagship project, which will determine the Union’s energy and climate trajectory and investment agenda for the next decade. Drawing on his extensive experience, Professor Glachant outlined his views on the future of regulation and legislation of energy in the EU and Ireland. This event is the second of the 2018 ESB Lecture Series entitled The Electric Lifestyle. Filmed on the 16th of July 2018
