Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) Therefore rules should be introduced to mandate the obligation to meet reasonable requests for wholesale access to public mobile communications networks for the purpose of providing roaming services. Such requests should only be refused on the basis of objective and duly substantiated criteria, which should be determined on a case by case basis by the national regulatory authorities following the dispute resolution procedure referred to in Article 17. In order to ensure a level playing field, wholesale access for the purpose of providing roaming services should be granted in accordance with the regulatory obligations laid down in this Regulation applicable at the wholesale level and the relevant provisions of the Directive 2002/19/EC, which includes rules on non-discrimination and interoperability, and should take into account the different cost elements necessary for the provision of such access. A consistent regulatory approach to the wholesale access for the provision of roaming services would avoid distortions between Member States.
