Online shopping without borders – Clune

MEPs will today vote for new rules that will give online shoppers wider cross-border access to a range of products including hotel bookings, car rentals or concert tickets. Under the new rules banning unjustified geo-blocking, consumers will be able to choose which website they wish to buy goods or services from without being blocked or automatically re-routed to another website. That can happen because of their nationality, place of residence or even their temporary location. The Fine Gael MEP Deirdre Clune says the new rules will mean Irish shoppers should enjoy better prices for the goods and services they purchase online.
