With the strategic objective of participating in the development of the EU internal market, ICP-ANACOM maintained active participation in the EU, both at the level of regulation, participating in BEREC and the ERGP, and also in fulfilment of its remit of advising the government, especially in supporting the formulation and defence of national positions at the Council's Telecom WG and COCOM.
ICP-ANACOM's active participation in all relevant forums working on regulation will ensure that national interests are properly defended in the development of the EU internal market. This market is not seen as the product of a centralized vision, but rather as the result of the best practices of 27 Member States, taking account of national specificities and formulated in reconciliation with other objectives such as consumer protection and the promotion of competition.
In this context, internal coordination procedures were improved, in order to give a timelier and more complete response to requests, as well as to ensure that positions defended at international meetings are consistent and complete. In many cases, the private sector contributes to the formulation of ICP-ANACOM's positions, particularly through cooperation relations with APRITEL - Associação dos Operadores Privados de Telecomunicações (Association of Telecommunications Operators).
