Esoma position paper on EECMA proposal
As supporters for a freedom in information infrastructures the proposal for a regulatory institution is dear to our heart. We are sceptical of the need for a new institution but deem it important that the current European telecommunication regulation regime is overcome and more coherence between national regulatory institutions is established. The core concern on the markets, the reduction of legal ambushes for ICT services and the establishment of a single point of regulation is unfortunately beyond the proposed tasks of the EECMA. However, we suggest a focus on pan-European interconnectivity and interoperability using proactive regulatory measures complementary to the activities of competition authorities.
