Roma suffer housing discrimination in Europe: report Publisher's Note =============== EU leaders fretting over the economy should make the freeing up of online shopping in the European Union a "top priority", says a new Commission report on e-commerce. Three out of five attempts to buy products from websites in other EU countries fail, according to researchers, and Belgium, Bulgaria, Latvia and Romania are the hardest countries from which to access cross-border online products. Stripping away national barriers to online shopping could relaunch the single market, says the EC. EU leaders now need to decide whether to take the proposals seriously or water them down in an attempt to protect their tax takes. http://www.eubusiness.com/news-eu/lifestyle-consumer.12f http://www.eubusiness.com/consumer Regards, Nick Prag Publisher, EUbusiness .EU AND EUROPEAN DOMAIN NAMES * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Lowest prices and free DNS Services!
