We will host stakeholder meetings throughout the process. Individual stakeholders or groups of stakeholders (e.g. trade associations and consumer groups) were also welcome to contact the Review team to discuss specific issues on an ad-hoc basis. Policy papers, for example, our responses to Commission Communications and material from stakeholder meetings are posted on the DTI [BERR] website.
Preliminary (informal) Commission consultation
31 January 2006
The Commission asked for initial input on the review of the EU regulatory framework for electronic communications and services including review of the Recommendation on relevant markets.
The EU regulatory framework for electronic communications aims to encourage competition in the electronic communications markets, to improve the functioning of the single market and to guarantee basic user interests that would not be guaranteed by market forces. The framework provides a set of rules that are simple, aimed at deregulation, technology neutral and sufficiently flexible to deal with fast changing markets in the electronic communications sector.
