E-COMMERCE STATISTICS [Updated 16 December 2013]
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/E-commerce_statistics
This article focuses on the electronic commerce (e-commerce) statistics in the European Union (EU) and is based on the results of the 2013 Community survey on 'ICT usage and e-commerce in enterprises'. E-commerce refers here to the trading of goods or services over computer networks such as the internet. It can be divided into e-commerce sales and e-commerce purchases according to the way in which an enterprise receives or places orders respectively.
Essentially, e-commerce is part of the business model of enterprises, complementing their conventional commercial activities for selling and buying aimed at enhancing their performance.
