Public Bill Committee: 5 April 2011

260

Education Bill, continued

(4)	This paragraph does not apply if the recipient of the service is acting

under the authority or control of the service provider.

Interpretation

7    (1)

In this Schedule—

“information society services”—

(a)	has the meaning given in Article 2(a) of the E-Commerce

Directive (which refers to Article 1(2) of Directive 98/34/EC of

the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998

laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the

field of technical standards and regulations), and

(b)	is summarised in recital 17 of the E-Commerce Directive as

covering “any service normally provided for remuneration, at a

distance, by means of electronic equipment for the processing

(including digital compression) and storage of data, and at the

individual request of a recipient of a service”;

“recipient”, in relation to a service, means any person who, for

professional ends or otherwise, uses an information society service,

in particular for the purposes of seeking information or making it

accessible;

“service provider” means a person providing an information society

service.

(2)	For the purpose of construing references in this Schedule to a

service provider who is established in England and Wales or in an

EEA state other than the United Kingdom—

(a)	a service provider is established in England and Wales, or

in an EEA state other than the United Kingdom, if the

service provider—

(i)	effectively pursues an economic activity using a

fixed establishment in England and Wales, or in

that EEA state, for an indefinite period, and

(ii)	is a national of an EEA state or a company or firm

mentioned in Article 48 of the EEC Treaty;

(b)	the presence or use in a particular place of equipment or

other technical means of providing an information society

service does not, of itself, constitute the establishment of a

service provider;

(c)	where it cannot be determined from which of a number of

establishments a given information society service is

provided, that service is to be regarded as provided from

the establishment at the centre of the service provider’s

activities relating to that service.”’.
