To establish a good understanding of how the dynamics of competition
are changing and how the market is reshaped in the new networked
economy for electronic commerce, the European Commission, DG III, is
holding a workshop. The event, "The industrial Aspects of Electronic
Commerce", will take place in Brussels on 8 April 1999. 

The aim of the workshop is:

taken up by various industrial sectors in Europe - what the role is
for new distribution channels; - To expose the problems that
enterprises encounter when adopting e-commerce; - To understand the
benefits and methodologies of building industrial consensus through
business communities; - To assess new investment needs for information
technology in Europe and the merits of integrating new open
technologies with EDI systems; - To reflect the important role of
awareness in facilitating the take-up of e-commerce; - To inform
industrial partners of relevant Commission-sponsored initiatives; - To
encourage industry to share its experiences and expectations for the
future.
