Question
Asked 17 May 2021

Are there available data related to the use of shared mobility for EU member states?

I wonder if there is any data platform that provides data regarding the shared mobility, e.g. use of car sharing, ride hailing, etc. for the EU member states, for free.

Digital content can be purchased nowadays principally in three ways:
  • downloadable files (being e.g. mp3 or executable programs)
  • data carriers like DVD, Blueray, etc. shipped by mail
  • online streaming usually for visual content
Looking at the post-purchase situation
  • there are no legal constraints to move legally correctly purchased data carriers or downloadable files with you from one country to the next
  • if you sign up for an online streaming service in one country and want to see it e.g. during a trip in another country it is quite typical that the service is not available
Looking at the pre-purchase situation
  • for downloadable files and streaming, a cross-border purchase usually does not work (I tried e.g. with Amazon Spain to purchase a certain mp3 (spanish film musik) while being in Spain and it did not work with my German account - although other stuff I could purchase - I had to open a Spanish account. From Germany obviously it did not work at all)
  • DVDs and Bluerays (except for English and in my case German) in foreign languages are usually not available locally for purchase. Rarely you find a DVD with Spanish language track here
The European Commission for the Interior Market and Services is presently investigating this and asking for public and company opinion because it is contrary to the free mobility of services in the EU. The licensing regulations at national level are clearly intended to limit access and make the data content more profitable.
I personally believe that it also constitutes discrimination because it withholds easy access to multi-language diversity - something the European Commission acknowledges as well.
I certainly know the case of C-403/08 Karen Murphy but does anybody also hold other legal knowledge or theories?

We study the pattern of concentration of industries in EU countries and regions between 1972 and 1995. We find that changes in concentration levels were mainly due to industry mobility rather than historical accidents and past levels of concentration as often argued by the New Economic Geography literature.
