Bartłomiej Okoń: CONSUMER CONTRACT IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT

The digitalization of trade, especially consumer trade, has become a subject of particular interest of EU bodies in recent years. It is seen as a potential source of economic growth, a new "economic engine" for Europe, which is to ensure victory in economic competition with the rest of the world. The development of information technologies and their implementation in the business world requires the creation of an appropriate legal framework - both at the level of the internal laws of the Member States and at the level of the entire EU. European law is used to regulate these issues, which tries to harmonize internal legal systems to enable unrestricted trade between individual countries. The process of harmonization and equipping the law with "digital competence" require comprehensive actions, including the development of legal instruments regulating consumer transactions (B2C) on the domestic and EU markets and the creation of a single EU internal market, and within it - a single digital market. The success of the JRC should translate into the dynamism of economic development and increased consumption, which will encourage societies of EU countries to further economic, social and political integration.
