The European Commission is seeking views on how to tackle barriers for cross-border business operations, boost innovation and increase investment in the European electronic communications sector.
This will help the Commission to address challenges to the deployment of advanced networks, such as fibre, 5G/ 6G and cloud-based infrastructure, in the Digital Networks Act, planned for adoption by the end of 2025.
Together with the review of the European Electronic Communications Code, the Digital Networks Act will allow to simplify and further harmonise and upgrade the current rules. This will reinforce competitiveness and drive a more integrated single market.
In addition to today's call for evidence, the Commission is also gathering input through three studies covering rules to enable cross-border networks, access to infrastructure and solutions for financing issues.
The consultation will be open until 11 July. Businesses, civil society, public authorities and interested parties are invited to contribute with their feedback.
