Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger is set to help the European Commission (EC) draw up a report on e-commerce and online shopping.
The 65-year-old will advise the EC on issues surrounding the online shopping sector, along with several other high-profile names.
Steve Jobs, head of computing giant Apple, and telecoms expert Ben Verwaayen are also on the committee which will look at ways in which the e-retail market can be improved.
One issue set to be discussed is the availability of online music through e-commerce websites.
European Union competition commissioner Neelie Kroes told the BBC the question of why it is not as easy to buy music files online as it is to have a CD shipped around Europe from an e-commerceonline shopping website will be under investigation.
Meanwhile, it was announced earlier this week retailer Best Buy is set to purchase e-commerce music sharing company Napster in a $121 million (£67 million) deal.
