Recital 17
(17) In future IP networks where provision of a service may be separated from provision of the network, Member States should determine the most appropriate steps to be taken to ensure the availability of publicly available telephone services provided using public communications networks and uninterrupted access to emergency services in the event of catastrophic network breakdown or in cases of force majeure, taking into consideration the technical difficulties of providing such services and so as not to constitute an excessive burden or obstacle to the development of innovative services and applications.

Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) End-users should be able to call and access the emergency services provided using any telephone service capable of originating and receiving voice calls through a number or numbers in the national or international telephone numbering plans. Emergency authorities should be able to handle and answer calls to the number “112” at least as expeditiously and effectively as calls to other national emergency numbers. It is important to increase awareness of “112” in order to improve the level of protection and security of citizens travelling in the European Union. To this end, citizens should be made fully aware that “112” can be used as a single emergency number when travelling in any Member States, in particular through information provided in international bus terminals, train stations, ports or airports and in telephone directories, payphone kiosks, subscriber and billing material. The obligation to provide caller location information should be strengthened so as to increase the protection of citizens of the European Union. In particular, operators should provide caller location information to emergency services in a “push” mode. In order to respond technological developments, including those leading o increasingly precise accuracy of location information, the Commission should be able to adopt technical implementing measures in order to ensure the effective implementation of "112" in the Community for the benefit of citizens of the European UnWhile such measures should aim to guarantee the safety of users, they should not constitute an unfair burden on providers or stifle the evolution or development of services and applications.
