European Legal Aspects of E-commerceEuropa Law Publishing, 2004 - 216 pages "The point of departure of this book is the E-commerce Directive. As the directive is a framework directive, it cannot be considered in isolation. Therefore, six related legal texts are addressed: the Distant Selling Directive, the Privacy Directive, the Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications, the Directive on Electronic Signatures, the Brussels Regulation and the Rome Convention. All are considered to be of particular relevance for e-commerce in Europe. This book analyses the consequences of the legal framework for business organisations involved with e-commerce."--BOOK JACKET. |
