In addition there was a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of an equal regulatory treatment. The European Commission will be dealing with this important issue in the forthcoming process of revising the regulatory framework, with the aim of fulfilling the objectives of the digital single market strategy (EU Digital Single Market Strategy).
