Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a regulation – amending act
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) However, the Regulation is an exceptional measure deviating from the 2002 regulatory framework and aiming at eliminating excessive prices while promoting freedom to compete and innovate. Once these aims are achieved and the market is sufficiently competitive considering also the smooth functioning of the internal market, a market based approach can replace the regulated price decreases without prejudice to the review carried out by the Commission pursuant to Article 11 of this Regulation on the effectiveness of this Regulation. For that purpose, the market should be considered competitive when the ERG monitoring over a representative period of six months shows that competitive tariffs attract more consumers’ traffic than the regulated Eurotariff. Competitive tariffs include both innovative tariff plans other than the Eurotariff and Eurotariffs that are priced significantly below the maximum prices (i.e. by more than 10%). The prospect of suspending the application of further prices decreases as a result of monitored competitive market conditions will provide the incentive to operators to further innovate and foster price competition while protecting consumers from excessive prices through the continued application of the maximum prices that are applicable when the price decreases are suspended.
