Podstawowe założenia wspólnotowej polityki telekomunikacyjnej wynikające z pakietu regulacyjnego w sprawie łączności elektronicznej z 2002 roku

Abstract

National regulatory authorities are expected to achieve the objectives of common telecommunication policy (to contribute to the development of the internal market, to promote competition, and to ensure the provision of services which are important for the public interest). The application of such a decentralized model of implementation of community law demands coordinating activities and actions taken by national regulatory authorities. Therefore, EC regulatory framework for electronic communication assumes the functioning of a network of coordinated subjects. Such network comprises first of all national regulatory authorities, and Commission and national competition authorities. Moreover, the EC directives concerning electronic telecommunication provide for the adjustment of sector-specific regulations to competition law and include gradual liquidation of regulatory remedies in the telecommunication sector. It is, therefore, assumed that the functioning of the telecommunication sector in accordance with the effective competition rules will not necessarily result in the state’s involvement with the form of sector-specific economic regulation.
