Resumo
E-commerce has become a key factor in the development of international trade, significantly simplifying and accelerating the exchange of goods and services. This study is devoted to the assessment of legal mechanisms for regulating this sphere, analyzing the current state of e-commerce in the European Union (EU). The aim of the study is to identify the main factors and trends that determine the further development of e-commerce in the EU. To achieve this goal the following tasks are formed: to analyze the main legal acts regulating e-commerce in the EU, to assess the current state of e-commerce in the EU, to identify problems on the way of e-commerce development in the EU. The research methodology consists of a combination of such methods as analysis of EU regulations, review of scientific literature and statistical data, as well as comparative analysis of approaches to e-commerce regulation in different jurisdictions. The results of the study showed that the EU is actively developing a comprehensive legal framework for regulating e-commerce. These regulations are aimed at harmonizing the legal space, protecting consumer rights, regulating the activities of large online platforms and ensuring the security of the digital environment. Statistical data indicate the dynamic growth of e-commerce in the EU. However, challenges remain related to market fragmentation, cybersecurity, logistical difficulties, and competition from large international companies and platforms. Taking into account the current level of e-commerce development in the EU and certain problems, the factors and trends of e-commerce development in the EU were highlighted. The scientific significance of the study lies in a comprehensive review of the existing EU experience in regulating e-commerce, an analysis of current trends and prospects for the development of this area. The results of the work can be useful for policy makers in the field of digital economy, participants in the process of forming multilateral agreements, as well as for business representatives interested in expanding into the European e-commerce market.
