Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
(1) TelecommunicationsDigital networks and services are increasingly becoming internet-based infrastructures, with broadband networks and digital services closely interrelated. The internet is becoming the dominant platform for communication, services, and doingeducation, participating in social and political life, and business. Therefore, the trans-European availability of fastwidespread, fast, secure Internet access and digital services in the public interest is essential for social and economic growth, competitiveness, social inclusion and the Single Market.

Amendment 4 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) The development of broadband and high-speed broadband networks and digital services will reinforce the need for European technical standards. EU research and development programmes and increased monitoring of standardisation procedures are needed if the Union is to play a pivotal role in the telecommunications industry.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
(11) The Digital Agenda for Europe stipulates that by 2020 all Europeans should have access to internet speeds of above 30 Mbps and 50% or more of European households should subscribe to internet connections above 100 Mbps. However, given the rapid evolution of technologies that lead to ever faster internet connexions, it is appropriate today, for all Union households, to target internet connections above 100 Mbps with 50% of the households having access to 1 Gbps.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) A European market with nearly 500 million people connected to high-speed broadband would act as a spearhead for the development of the Internal Market, creating a globally unique critical mass of users exposing all regions to new opportunities and giving each user increased value, as well as giving the Union the capacity to be a world leading knowledge-based economy. A rapid deployment of high-speed broadband networks is crucial for the development of European productivity and for the emergence of new and small enterprises that can be leaders in different sectors, for example health care, manufacturing and the service industries.
2013/06/26
Committee: ITRE
Amendment 12 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) The combination of new opportunities in infrastructure and new, innovatory and interoperable services should set in motion a virtuous circle by stimulating increasing demand for high- speed broadband to which, in commercial terms, it would be advisable to respond.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 13 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 b (new)
(11b) While the deployment of fibre and ultra high-speed broadband connections in the Union remains unsatisfactory, other economies in the world are taking the global lead by offering significantly higher capacity and speeds of 1 Gbps and beyond. Investment in fibre, both in the home and in passive infrastructure in the backhaul network, is a crucial ingredient if the Union is to be home to innovation, knowledge and services.
2013/06/26
Committee: ITRE
Amendment 14 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 c (new)
(11c) Targets for 2020 should be revised, aiming for the Union to have the fastest broadband speed in the world by seeking to ensure that by 2020 all Union citizens have access to 100 Mbps and 50% of Union households have access to 1 Gbps or more.
2013/06/26
Committee: ITRE
Amendment 15 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Public funding for broadband should be spent solely on infrastructures open to competition. Only networks open to competition via mandated third party access can deliver affordable competitive services and innovation for consumers and businesses.
2013/06/26
Committee: ITRE
Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 b (new)
(13b) Ensuring that consumers are easily able to access and distribute content, services and applications of their choice via a single internet subscription is of vital importance for the completion of the Union's single digital market. In this context, BEREC's findings of May 2012 show that at least 20% of mobile internet users in Europe experience some form of restriction on their ability to access VoIP services. Although competition is expected to discipline operators, progress has been very slow and the publicly- funded telecommunications networks covered by this Regulation should therefore be prohibited from blocking services.

Amendment 48 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
(3) On 17 June 2010, the European Council endorsed the Digital Agenda for Europe and called upon all institutions to engage in its full implementation. The Digital Agenda aimsed to chart a course to maximise the social and economic potential of information and communication technologies, in particular through the deployment of high-speed broadband networks by seeking to ensure that by 2020 all Europeans have access to internet speeds of above 30 Mbps and 50% or more of European households subscribe to internet connections above 100 Mbps. The Digital Agenda aimsHowever, considering the fast evolution of technologies that lead to ever faster internet connexions, it is appropriate today, for all EU households, to target internet connexions above 100 Mbps or connexions that tend to 100 Mbps as much as possible, to establish a stable legal framework to stimulate investments in an open and competitive high speed internet infrastructure and in related services; a true single market for online content and services; active support for the digitisation of Europe's rich cultural heritage, and the promotion of internet access and take-up by all, especially through support of digital literacy and accessibility. In addition, Member States should implement operational national plans for high speed internet, targeting public funding on areas not fully served by private investments in internet infrastructures and promote deployment and usage of modern accessible online services.

Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
(4) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions -European Broadband: investing in digitally driven growth concludes that the critical role of the internet means that the benefits for society as a whole appear to be much greater than the private incentives to invest in faster networks. Public support for this area is therefore necessary, but should not unduly distort competitionwith particular attention being given to the deployment and, if relevant, future regional/local public exploitation of passive infrastructures, where incentives for private investment are usually weaker, and on which a maximum of competition should be guaranteed in the rest of the communication chain, from active infrastructures to e-services.

Amendment 63 #
(ha) Deployment of infrastructures in public transport allowing the use of secure and interoperable mobile proximity services: the deployment of infrastructures in public transport allowing the use of secure and interoperable mobile proximity services will enable citizens, businesses and organisations to access a variety of innovative services in mobility across the Union.

Amendment 65 #
(hb) European Platform for Access to Educational Resources. The objective is to exploit the benefits of ICT in the field of education through Europe-wide access to shared educational material. Cost- effective access to and improved quality of educational material through peer-review would strengthen European cohesiveness by enabling contacts, cooperation and debates among students and in the academic world. It would serve as a backbone for cooperation between educational institutions facilitating the implementation of other Union programmes such as "Erasmus for All". It would improve access to education and enhance the position of the Union in the global academic realm.
