EU4Digital has launched an e-commerce pilot between Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Germany, according to Ecommerce News. Its goal is to increase e-commerce volumes.
In 2020, it started activities to further harmonize commerce between the European Union and the Eastern partner countries.
The European single market is the EU being one territory, without any internal borders or regulations to block the free movement of goods and services. For a few years, the European Union has been trying to release this online, which is called the European Digital Single Market.
According to EU4Digital, there are some challenges for cross-border e-commerce in Eastern Europe.
With the pilot, EU4Digital wants to strengthen the e-commerce ecosystem and increase volumes. One of the solutions is to establish national virtual warehouses and databases of local goods, so e-commerce players can automatically exchange information about sales, customs, and delivery.
We’ve reported that the cross-border e-commerce?sales?from the United Kingdom are up 57% in 2020 over the same period last year.
