Europeans love the Internet. Whilst still lagging behind North America in terms of Internet penetration rates (88%), Europe at 73.5% (as of November 2015) is the second most connected part of the digital economy world.

However, should the Schengen Agreement be rolled back? What would the effects of such a development be on the wider Digital Economy in Europe?
