Come on UK - get your email act together

Lawyers Osbourne Clarke have surveyed Europe's interactive marketing laws and found that the UK is the weakest at enforcing email marketing laws - the stuff that crams our inboxes with debt consolidation, faster connections and private needs.

The UK is the weakest major country in Europe at enforcing email marketing laws,according to a new 17-nation study by law firm Osbourne Clarke.

Penalries for offences also vary. To date, France has imposed a fine of £205,000 and Denmark one of £154,000. But in the UK only one civil case has occured to date, resulting in a paltry fine of £270.

In contrast, the most active enforcement regimes are in Austria with over 500 cases to date, Greece with over 70, Italy with over 50 and Spain on over 50.
