Abstract: Abstract There have been long-standing policy concerns that high retail prices charged for cross-border parcel delivery service may be impeding the growth of e-commerce in Europe, and with it the completion of a Digital Single Market (DSM) in the European Union. The European Commission has just proposed a legislative measure that seeks to increase the transparency of cross-border prices and also to reduce them.
