Today, Ecommerce Europe was invited, together with other industry representatives and a few members, to contribute to the European Commission’s Round Table on the #DigitalEuro, organised by EU Commissioners Mairead McGuinness and Thierry Breton. As representatives of the European digital commerce sector, we believe that the Digital €, under the right conditions, could revolutionise the future of EU payments as an accessible, cross-border, competitive solution. For merchants, it is important to consider that the Digital Euro should be an efficient omnichannel payment solution, it should allow for easy integration into existing merchant infrastructure and it should cover existing retail use cases. We look forward to continuing the discussion with EU policymakers on this important initiative.
