A Communication examining the state of implementation by EU Member States of the current European regulatory framework for telecommunications was adopted by the European Commission on 28 November 2001. The key conclusion of the Report is that, against a generally pessimistic macroeconomic background, the telecom services sector is buoyant, the national regulatory authorities continue to make progress with liberalisation, but that, on the eve of the adoption of a new framework, a number of regulatory bottlenecks remain. The continuing divergences in implementation under the current framework indicate that a strong transparency mechanism and better co-ordination between National Regulatory Authorities are a pre-requisite for a level playing field and a single European market for telecoms services in the future. |
