US firms Netflix and Amazon face quotas for European movies and television shows under new Brussels proposals unveiled Wednesday that also aim to lift bloc-wide barriers for Internet shoppers.
The plan is the latest step towards what Brussels calls a digital single market, in which the European Union's 500 million people will no longer be blocked from buying goods and services more cheaply abroad online.
"E-commerce in the EU is not functioning as smoothly as it could," EU industry commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska said at a press conference in Brussels to unveil the proposals.
