EP - Debate in Parliament
Details
The rapporteur was keen to congratulate the Dutch Presidency which had succeeded in imposing a solution close to that advanced by Parliament, even if some Council members did not share this view. He also congratulated the Commission which had understood the relevance of the EP’s amendments. Mr Herman also mentioned a number of problems which remained unresolved. For example, he highlighted the need for the national regulatory authorities to be independent and the importance of avoiding competition distortions when extending the universal service. Finally, he regretted the Commission’s timidity about the need to have a European telecommunications authority and that the comitology problems had not been resolved in Amsterdam . Commissioner Bangemann stressed the need to ensure fair competition. As regards an independent European authority, the Commissioner insisted that any blockages were not due to the Commission.

EP - Debate in Parliament
Details
The rapporteur, Mr Herman (EPP, B), explained why the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs had again presented a series of amendments from the first reading, some of which had been rejected by the Commission. He thought in particular that it was vital to tighten up the definition of leased lines and to ensure number portability; this would allow users to retain their telephone number when changing networks, which would in turn rule out the imposition of additional charges, something that would impede genuine competition. Mr Herman also stressed that it was important to have a fully independent national regulatory authority as well as clear rules for the financing of the universal service, adding that he wanted to see a specific directive in this area, or even a Commission regulation. Finally, he advocated the establishment of a European supranational authority that would be responsible for monitoring the judicial consistency of the national regulatory authorities. Commissioner Bangemann agreed with Parliament that the deregulation of this sector could not take place without a European regulatory framework. He therefore supported the introduction of common arrangements for the universal service and pointed out that codification at European level would be very appropriate, given the rapid development of the telecommunications service. He said that he could accept those amendments that related to the regulatory bodies and to the role that they would play. The Commissioner wanted to see the Netherlands Presidency make some real progress on this issue during the first half of 1997.

EP - Debate in Parliament
Details
The rapporteur, Mr HERMAN (EPP, B), listed a number of points that he considered essential: - the need to have specific legislation for the universal service; - the distinction between operator interconnection and customers interconnection to the same networks; - the definition of the service’s position in the marketplace; - the fact that legislation specific to broadcasting activities was irreplaceable; - the authentification of the transmitted information as one of the main criteria for data protection. The rapporteur pointed out that the success of market deregulation in the telecommunications sector depended on having a truly independent regulatory authority. He also thought that it would be useful to combine the powers of the ONP Committee with those of the new EU Telecommunications Committee for controlling the issue of general permits and individual licences in the telecommunications sector. Commissioner BANGEMANN wanted to provide reassurance as to the consequences of opening up the telecommunications market and to this effect cited the encouraging examples of Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom; finally, he pointed out that when operators applied for a licence, to take Ireland as an example, they would have to undertake to provide the service to the whole territory, and not just in Dublin.
