Arno R. Lodder (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) deals with the oldest extant e-commerce related directive, and arguably the most important one.

Other areas covered are, among others, information requirements, contractual aspects, commercial communications. Keywords: ISP liability, information society service providers, commercial communications, electronic contracting, information requirements
