The rapporteur considered that general licences should be favoured over individual licences. Against this background, he called for the price for licences not to be set too high and stressed that licensing conditions should be harmonised. While confirming that he would prefer a restricted directive to a blockage at second reading, he re-tabled six amendments in which he called for the directive’s scope to be extended to general licences. Commissioner Bangemann stated that setting up an independent telecommunications regulatory authority was premature as, in Council, not one Member State had accepted such an initiative. In his opinion, it was, however, now time to set up an informal group consisting of representatives of the Member State regulatory authorities, along the lines of the European Medicines Agency which sat in London. The rapporteur also asked Mr Bangemann to provide Parliament with the results of a study on the added value of setting up a European regulatory authority. The Commissioner promised to do this by the end of February. He also announced the organisation of a workshop on this subject, the summary of which would be given to Parliament. Finally, Mr Bangemann said that the Commission accepted all Parliament’s amendments.
The rapporteur, Mr VAN VELZEN (EPP, NL), called for the setting-up of a European framework regulation, since the Community telecommunications market would be largely opened up in the majority of Member States by 1 January 1998. After this date common rules would apply to all telecommunications services and infrastructures. The rapporteur wanted to see the authorisation schemes include rules for both telecommunications services and infrastructures, but he regretted that the deadlines proposed by the Commission were set so far ahead. Mr van Velzen was also keen to see a European regulatory authority that would more effectively discharge the supervisory functions entrusted to the Commission and to the national authorities. Finally, he wanted to see the conditions accompanying the general authorisations being published in the official journal of the Member States as well as in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Commissioner Bangemann declared that the current regulations did not prohibit the implementation of a set of rules for the Community telecommunications sector. It was not a matter of codifying all the different sets of legislation but rather of drawing up a framework legislation that would incorporate the main principles (universal service, competition, etc.) and in which each directive, along with any amendments that might prove necessary, would find its own place. Mr Bangemann said that he supported the creation of a European body that would be responsible for taking the most important practical decisions. Finally, he declared that he was unable to accept those amendments that might cause confusion because they were inconsistent with the text put forward by the Commission; the amendments rejected included Amendments Nos 1, 2, 8, 10, 26 and 27.
