Abstract

The ban of geo-blocking intervened in recent years within the borders of the European Union and it represents not only a control and even an elimination of the discrimination regarding the nationality of the customers on the on-line trade, but also a mean of gaining important economic benefits for all the participants and countries involved.  The current study aims in presenting and analyzing the importance and necessity of the existence of a set of legal documents that focus on eliminating the unjustified geo-blocking in the e-commerce, as well as the benefits such measures bring not only at the level of the economy of each Member State, but also the impact upon the customers - as important participants to the digital single market-, products and pricing.
