(29) In order to promote the functioning of the internal market, and to support the development of cross-border services, the Commission should be given the power to grant the Authority specific responsibilities in the area of numbering. Furthermore, to allow citizens of the Member States, including travellers and disabled users, to be able to reach certain services by using the same recognisable numbers at similar prices in all Member States, the powers of the Commission to adopt technical implementing measures should also cover, where necessary, the applicable tariff principle or mechanism, as well as the establishment of a single European front- up call number ensuring user-friendly access to these services.

Recital 43 a (new)
(43a) Functional separation is not a suitable regulatory solution for markets in which there is competition for the provision of infrastructure-based retail services and/or in which the penetration by fixed telecommunications services is very low. In view of the exceptional nature of this solution it is necessary to assess the impact thereof, so as to demonstrate the non-discriminatory nature of vertical restrictions and the economic efficiency achieved as a result. The assessment of its impact must also consider the impact of alternative policies (less intrusive) and should be forwarded to the Commission for review.

(60) In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to adopt implementing measures in relation to the notifications under Article 7 of the Framework Directive; the harmonisation in the fields of spectrum and numbering as well as in matters related to the security of networks and services; the identification of trans-national markets; the implementation of the standards; the harmonised application of the provisions of the regulatory framework. Power should also be conferred to adopt implementing measures to update Annexes I and II to the Access Directive to market and technological developments and for adopting implementing measuron the Commission by the Framework and Authorisation Directives to harmonisze the authorisation rules, procedures and conditions fregulatory the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to supplement these Directives by the addition of new non- essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC. When, on imperative grounds of urgency, the normal time limits for this procedure cannot be complied with, the Commission should be able to use the urgency procedure provided for in Article 5a(6) of the above Decisionreatment of pan-European services, such as global telecommunications services.
