As the UK's political parties launch their own technology manifestos in the run up to the general election, eBay has published its own and sent it to all prospective parliamentary candidates.
The auction giant has designed the manifesto to support online businesses and help them grow. It proposes that EU e-commerce laws remain a stable trading platform, and calls for a ministerial appointment with a remit to drive online business.
It says consumer choice should be protected via a secure legal framework, and that EU trade laws need consistency to make export easier for the UK's digital businesses.
eBay also suggests that local post offices should be improved by giving access to online services for small companies and buyers, and says the UK's digital infrastructure should be enhanced by ensuring superfast broadband is available to all UK businesses.
