(2) Acknowledging the importance of high- speed broadband rollout, the European Union and its Member States havewant to endorsed the ambitious broadband targets set out in. The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions ‘The Digital Agenda for Europe- Driving European growth digitally29 (’the Digital Agenda‘): 100% broadband coverage by 2013 and increased speeds of 30MBps for all households, with at least 50% of the households subscribing to I 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 even faster internet connections, and the increasing demand on e-services, it is appropriate today to target more ambitious internet connections speed above 100MBps by 2020.% Mbps with 50% of the households having access to 1 gbps by 2020, as expressed in the European Parliament Resolution on the "Digital Agenda for Growth, Mobility and Employment: time to move up a gear" 29a __________________ 29 COM (2010)245; see also see also the Digital Agenda review, COM (2012) 784 final. 29a (2013/2593(RSP))

(7) Measures aiming at increasing efficiency in the use of existing infrastructures and at reducing costs and obstacles in carrying out new civil engineering works should provide a substantial contribution to ensure a fast and extensive deployment of high-speed electronic communications networks while maintaining effective competition, without negatively impacting the safety, security and smooth operations of the existing public infrastructures.

(12) In view of their low degree of differentiation, physical facilities of such networks can often host at the same time a wide range of electronic communications network elements, including those capable of delivering broadband access services at speeds of at least 30 Mbps in line with the technological neutrality principle, without affecting the main service conveyed and with minimum adaptation costs. Therefore a physical infrastructure that is intended to only host other elements of a network without becoming itself an active network element, can be in principle used to accommodate electronic communications cables, equipment or any other element of electronic communications networks, regardless of its actual use or its ownership. Without prejudice to the pursuit of the specific general interest linked to the provision of the main service, synergies across network operators should be encouraged in order to contribute at the same time to achieving the targets of the Digital Agenda.

Article 4 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 – introductory part
In order to request access to physical infrastructure in accordance with Article 3, every undertaking authorised to provide electronic communications networks shall have the right to access, upon requestthe justified request in view of developing better future telecommunication services, via a single information point, the following set of minimum information concerning the existing physical infrastructure of any network operator:
Amendment 125 #

Article 4 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 3
Access to the minimum information for the specified area shall be granted forthwith in electronic form under proportionate, non- discriminatory and fully transparent terms. Access to the minimum information may be limited by the single information point only when considered necessary in view of the security of the networks and their integrity or operating and business secrets.

Article 7 – paragraph 3
3. Member States may provide for exemptions for categories of buildings, in particular single dwellings, or major renovation works, from the obligations provided for paragraph 1 and 2, when the cost of fulfilling those obligations is disproportionate. Such measures shall be duly motivated. The interested parties shall be given the opportunity to comment on the draft measures within a reasonable period. Any such measure shall be notified to the Commission. Member States may also provide for exemptions from paragraph 2 in respect of access lines to end users in properties where business models with open networks are used.

Article 8 – paragraph 1
1. Every provider of public communications networks in buildings without open networks with service competition shall have the right to terminate its network at the concentration point, provided that it minimise the impact on the private property and at its own costs, in view of accessing the high-speed-ready in-building physical infrastructure.
