Summary
This report focuses on some of the ways in which EU legislative developments can shape ICT hardware, software and services markets across the European region. An understanding of the direction and scope of these developments can help U.S. companies prepare for and take advantage of their market impact. EU developments can throw up threats, opportunities and compliance requirements for U.S. companies, and sometimes a combination of all three. The following is designed to raise awareness of the importance of the "EU angle" to U.S. companies targeting ICT products and services at the EU market.
