✦ Synopsis

The Government has missed the deadline of 17 January 2002, by which time it should have implemented the E-Commerce Directive (the "Directive"). 1 Its excuse is that it wished to undertake a public Consultation to assess how the Directive's proposed implementation in the UK was being received. A spectrum of interested parties voiced their concerns and, in light of their submissions, this article assesses the pitfalls the Government must avoid if it is to implement the Directive in a way that achieves its goal of allowing information society service providers 2 to operate freely in the Community, whilst protecting those that rely on such services.
