Key points

The Geo-blocking Regulation aims to ensure customers are treated equally regardless of their nationality or residence within the EU.
Initial results show a decrease in website blocking and rerouting, but consumer awareness remains limited.
Significant obstacles persist regarding online registration requirements and the acceptance of non-national payment methods.
There is a strong debate on whether to extend the regulation to include audiovisual services, music, and e-books.
