The European Commission launched an open consultation on geo-blocking and other geographically-based restrictions when shopping and accessing information in the European Union (EU) aiming at gathering views and opinions on the different restrictions faced by users, consumers and businesses when they access or provide information, shop or sell across the borders in the EU. The study analyses a selection of replies provided by the European Commission. 92% of individual consumers and 80% of consumer associations strongly agree that consumers and businesses should be able to purchase and access services everywhere in the EU. Most individual consumers argue that geo-blocking per se, i.e. geo-blocking without a legal obligation, is not justified. Most business associations consider most circumstances mentioned in the questionnaire to justify geo-blocking. The vast majority of individual consumers as well as consumer associations strongly agree to the proposed elements of a policy response. While companies consider more transparency and a blacklist that states reasons that may never justify treating domestic and foreign users differently as most appropriate policy responses, they mostly disagree with the Commission's list of suggested policy responses.

Geo-blocking, which basically refers to the practice of preventing customers from accessing websites or content of the website, has become widespread in the European Union. More particularly, the most affected sector by it is the audiovisual sector. Against this background, EU consumers have not been sitting idly by. They have expressed their dissatisfaction with geoblocking by contending that it erects virtual barriers where there should be none. Others have eased their frustrations by falling back on VPNs to circumvent these obstacles. By contrast, the stakeholders of the audiovisual industry - especially European players in the audiovisual market - have intensively lobbied against a geo-blocking ban. Their main argument is that artificially partitioning the Internet landscape through geo-blocking is indispensable to preserve the principle of copyright territoriality upon which their current business model is founded. Elimination of geo-blocking would adversely affect content production and subsequently decrease consumer's welfare. Hence, the redline of this Master's thesis is this war of words on the geo-blocking issue. Put it differently, it investigates how cross-border access to online audiovisual content services could be secured without harming the incentives of the audiovisual industry to produce and distribute content. To answer this question, this research has been conducted as following. Firstly, it outlined the inadequacy of the legal framework prior to the adoption of the 2015 Digital Single Market Strategy to deal with the issue. Indeed, the legal framework does little to nothing to address geo-blocking per se and/or to tackle the underlying reasons for the use of it. Secondly, it observed that the Geo-blocking Regulation which entered into force in 2018 does not alter the status quo since audiovisual services are expressly left outside the scope of it. Lastly, out of the presumption that the traditional copyright-territorialitybased business model of the audiovisual industry will inevitably have to adapt to the new paradigm in the way audiovisual content is consumed and distributed, this Master's thesis answers the research question by advocating for a threefold approach towards the geo-blocking issue. In other words, this contribution defends that an elimination of geo-blocking in the EU (and thus allowing cross-border access to online audiovisual content services) without harming the incentives of the audiovisual industry to produce and distribute content will only be feasible if the European Union adopts an incremental, cross-sectoral and proactive approach.

EU border regions encounter legal and administrative obstacles in their cooperation. Citizens and businesses face unequal access to public services and fewer economic opportunities. COVID has highlighted the urgent need to address the remaining cross-border obstacles and define a long-term vision for unleashing the potential of border regions to become the drivers of European cooperation. The study identifies three policy options: status quo, soft-law measures, and adopting a new instrument (ECBM 2.0). Policy option 3 has the highest potential impact, addressing both legal and administrative obstacles, bringing benefits of €123 billion per year, as well as positive social impacts.

This is an open access book. Media industry research and EU policymaking are predominantly tailored to large (and, in the latter case, Western) European markets. This open access book addresses the specific qualities of smaller media markets, highlighting their vulnerability to global digital competition and outlining survival strategies for them. New online distribution models and new trends in the consumption of audiovisual content are limited by, and pose new challenges for, existing audiovisual business models and their legal framework in the EU. The European Commission’s Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy, which was intended e.g. to remove obstacles to the cross-border distribution of audiovisual content, has triggered a heated debate on the transformation of the existing ecosystem for European screen industries. While most current discussions focus on the United States, Western Europe, and the multinational giants, this book approaches these industry trends and policy questions from the perspective of relatively small and peripheral (in terms of their population, language, cross-border cultural flows, and financial and/or symbolic capital) media markets.

The 2019 Mystery Shopping Survey on territorial restrictions and geo-blocking in the European Digital Single Market (MSS 2019) analyses the occurrence of geoblocking practices and other sales-limiting practices linked to the territorial location of cross-border shoppers that are used by e-commerce websites in the former EU28. The European Commission has since 2015 developed actions to improve cross-border sales opportunities for consumers and businesses. The Geo-blocking Regulation (EU) 2018/302 (GBR) addressed the issue of unjustified "geo-blocking" and other forms of discrimination based on customers' nationality, place of residence or place of establishment within the EU's internal market. The present study was commissioned within the context of the European Commission's activities for the first-short term review of the GBR, with a view to monitor the first implementation of the Regulation, and its first contribution to the functioning of the internal market. Unjustified geoblocking and discrimination pursuant to the GBR can occur at several points in the cross-border shopping process. Other sales limiting practices may also have an impact on cross-border sales. The present study distinguishes the following phases, and analyses geoblocking and sales-limiting practices in each of them: access to a website; availability of products; registration; delivery to the shopper's country; price differences and payment. Throughout this process, there are several instances in which a cross-border shopper may not be able to proceed in the same way as a domestic shopper would do. In order to identify such practices and analyse the potential impact of the GBR on their frequency, the results of the present study were compared with the results from the 2015 Mystery Shopping Survey on territorial restrictions and geo-blocking in the European Digital Single Market, which was conducted using the same methodology.
