Press Release: Telecommunications: Polish regulator must carry out a new market analysis of retail access markets, says Commission

The Commission issued a decision requiring the Polish telecom regulator, Urz¹d Regulacji Elektronicznej (UKE), to withdraw its draft measures for regulating retail access services. Two months ago, the Commission expressed serious doubts that UKE's plans for regulating these markets were compatible with Community law and requested UKE to back its market definition with convincing evidence. UKE has failed to justify why it intends to regulate broadband access services in addition to regulating retail narrowband access, says the Commission.
