Recital 47
(47) In an open internet, providers of electronic communications to the public should, within contractually agreed limits on data volumes and speeds for internet access services, not block, slow down, degrade or discriminate against specific content, applications or services or specific classes thereof except for a limited number of reasonable traffic management measures. Such measures should be efficient, appropriate, transparent, proportionate and non- discriminatory and in line with existing laws, including, inter alia, data protection. Reasonable traffic management encompasses the prevention or impediment of serious crimes, including voluntary actions of providers to prevent access to and distribution of child pornography. MPreserving the integrity and security of the network and minimising the effects of network congestion through traffic management measures should be considered reasonable provided that network congestionit occurs only temporarily or in exceptional circumstances and provided that equivalent types of traffic are treated equally.

(49) There is also end-user demand for sServices and applications requiringdelivered with an enhanced level of assured service quality can be offered by providers of electronic communications to the public or by content, applications or service providers. Such services may comprise inter alia broadcasting via Internet Protocol (IP- TV), video-conferencing and certain health applications. End-users should therefore also be free to conclude agreements on the provision of such specialised services with an enhanced quality of service with either providers of electronic communications to the public or providers of content, applications or services. Where such agreements are concluded with the internet access provider, the provider should ensure that the enhanced quality service does not diminish the general quality of internet access. Take-up by end- users and application and commercial service providers of specialised services should thus be on a voluntary and non- discriminatory basis.
