The European Commission recently published its 10th report on the implementation of the electronic communications regulatory package through its Communication ''European Electronic Communications Regulation and Markets 2004'', of 2 December 2004.
The Communication, which includes the ten new member-States of the European Union (EU), provides an overall view of the main market developments (up to 1 August 2004) and the most relevant horizontal questions of a regulatory nature (up to 1 October 2004).
In the annex to the Communication, the Commission provides a more detailed analysis, divided into four areas: transposition and implementation of the new regulatory framework, procedures defined in Article 7 of the Framework Directive, analysis of the situation in each of the 25 -ember-States and a market overview.
The conclusions state that, although there are signs of a recovery in the electronic communications market, it is essential that the new regulatory framework is fully and correctly implemented and that competition rules are effectively applied.
