EU law defines an "economic" activity as any activity consisting in offering goods and/or services on a given market, for instance broadcasting, energy, transport and postal services.
ELi õiguse kohaselt on majandustegevus mis tahes tegevus, mis seisneb konkreetsel turul kaupade ja/või teenuste pakkumises, nt ringhäälingusaadete edastamine, energeetika-, veo- ja postiteenused.
