Date: 17/06/2011 (9.30-13.00)

This workshop will explore the case for EU online trustmarks (Digital Agenda action 17) and other approaches like tools for comparability of price and quality for improving transparency and reliability of online offers.

Confidence and trust are prerequisites for engaging in online activities. Lack of consumer trust and confidence remains a big barrier for e-commerce in Europe, notably cross-border e-commerce.

The measures to be discussed aim at increasing online trust and confidence and consumer empowerment as well as to decreasing fragmentation and driving competition in the online market.
