Government announces plans to promote e-commerce
The new regulations aim at increasing trust between online business partners and improve the on-line functioning of city councils. The report shows that although domestic e-commerce is developing quite dynamically, it still constitutes only 1 percent of retail sales. In comparison, in the US this figure is three times higher.
In Poland online transactions are carried out by only every tenth adult, while only every 20th bank transfer is done online. Moreover, 63 percent of companies from the SME sector believe that investments in IT will not influence their revenues.
Next month, the Sejm will vote on a number of bills, including one which will increase the credibility of companies operating on the web, as a database will be made available to online entrepreneurs. The plan also aims to find solutions to reduce the cost of using electronic signatures, which is discouraging their use.
