EU eyes restrictions on e-commerce By Bloomberg News Special to CNET News.com November 18, 1998, 7:30 a.m. PT The European Commission plans to propose legislation today that will allow member states to impose national restrictions on merchants selling through the World Wide Web, according to reports. Critics say the proposed law, which holds that providers of goods and services should be regulated in the country they are established, invites protectionism, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing commission officials. The directive outlines who should be responsible for illegal content and establishes rules for advertising on the Web, among other issues. Commission officials say the directive balances the interests of buyers and sellers. A rival's complaint that British Telecommunications and AT&T are prematurely starting up their $10 billion joint venture to market voice and data services isn't likely to derail European Union approval of the linkup, a European Commission official said last week.
