Recital 4 a (new)
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) Investment in the latest infrastructure, which is essential if people in the EU are to be in a position to take advantage of new, innovative services must not be restricted to central or densely populated areas where it is certain to yield a return. Such investment must also be made at the same time in outlying and outermost regions, which are less densely populated and less developed, so that these regions do not fall even further behind.

Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) Electronic communications services providers, including mobile operators or consortia of such operators, should be able to collectively organise the efficient and affordable coverage of a vast part of the Union's territory, including the outermost regions, to the long-term benefit of end users, and therefore use radio spectrum across several Member States with similar conditions, procedures, costs, timing, duration in harmonised bands, and with complementary radio spectrum packages, such as a combination of lower and higher frequencies for coverage of densely and less densely populated areas. Initiatives in favour of greater coordination and consistency would also enhance the predictability of the network investment environment. Such predictability would also be greatly favoured by a clear policy in favour of long-term duration of rights of use related to radio spectrum, without prejudice to the indefinite character of such rights in some Member States, and linked in its turn to clear conditions for the transfer, lease or sharing of part of all of the radio spectrum subject to such an individual right of use.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 43
Recital 43
(43) The completion of the single market for electronic communications also requires the removal of barriers for end- users to have access to electronic communications services across the Union. Public authorities shouldmust therefore not raise or maintain obstacles to the cross- border purchase of such services. Providers of electronic communications to the public shouldmust not deny or restrict access or discriminate against end-users on the basis of their nationality or Member State of residence. Differentiation should, however, be possible on the basis of objectively justifiable differences in costs, risks and market conditions such as demand variations and pricing by competitors.

Recital 44 a (new)
Recital 44 a (new)
(44a) Remoteness, island status, low population density, low demand for services and the existence of national roaming zones which are features common to various parts of Europe, in particular the outermost regions, cannot be regarded as objective criteria justifying the charging of higher tariffs by suppliers of fixed or mobile electronic communication services.
