Press Release: Picture of competition in EU telecoms now virtually complete

With its letter dated 19 October 2006 to the Greek telecom regulator (EETT), the Commission has, as of this date, assessed 500 notifications from Member States reviewing competition in their electronic communications markets. EETT's notification concerned low speed narrowband access to fixed telephone networks in Greece. With this 500th notification, the Commission now has a clearer picture of the state of competition in all Member States, in time for the review of the regulatory framework.
