Consumer Confidence
High levels of consumer confidence are a key element to ensuring the success of the new media sector. For example, providing European consumers with a clear and harmonised set of rights would increase their confidence, promote online cross-border E-commerce and help create a more dynamic and robust market for consumers and businesses alike.
