BRUSSELS, June 2 (Xinhua) -- The executive body of the European Union (EU) Thursday presented a guidance aimed at supporting consumers, businesses and public authorities to engage confidently in the collaborative economy.
""These new business models can make an important contribution to jobs and growth in the European Union (EU), if encouraged and developed in a responsible manner,"" the European Commission said in a statement.

The European Commission concerned that this fragmented approach to new business models may create uncertainty for traditional operators, new services providers and consumers alike and may hamper innovation, job creation and growth.
""A competitive European economy requires innovation, be it in the area of products or services."" Vice-President of European Commission, said Jyrki Katainen, responsible for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness.
""Our role is to encourage a regulatory environment that allows new business models to develop while protecting consumers and ensuring fair taxation and employment conditions,"" he added.
