The author considers the constitutional constraints of the EU Treaties, before examining the case for a cross-border-only measure.  He argues that the cross-border approach is preferable, because it would provide clearer benefits for consumers seeking to buy goods and services across borders, while not upsetting domestic law unnecessarily—in particular in the context of e-commerce, with implications for industry, policymaking, and regional development.  The \u003ci\u003eBrief\u003c\/i\u003e concludes by suggesting that a successful EU measure on cross-border consumer transactions could create a template for global initiatives for transnational consumer law. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-11-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461420460\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-2047-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 76\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47396981276812,"sku":"9781461420460","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461420460.jpg?v=1775773885","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461420460","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
