Implications of the country of origin principle in the E-Commerce Directive
by Katarzyna Karasiewicz
International Journal of Private Law (IJPL), Vol. 1, No. 3/4, 2008

Abstract: Before the age of World Wide Web, entrepreneurs operated mostly within their states markets whereas nowadays all entrepreneurs operating online can reach a global marketplace. Beside obvious advantages to the current situation, there is also a huge threat related to it. Carrying out e-commerce activities is inevitably related to a legal risk of breaching foreign law and as a result getting hauled into foreign court or application of foreign law by entrepreneur's national court. The only way to avoid or mitigate that kind of risk would be by complying with law on a global basis. But is it possible and how expensive would that be? [Revised Abstract]
