Liberalisation
Cases
Article 7 procedures - Telecom sector
The EU Regulatory Framework gives the European Commission powers to oversee the national regulatory measures, by way of the consultation and transparency procedures provided for under Article 7 of the Electronic Communications Framework Directive. These procedures require national regulatory authorities (NRAs) to conduct a "national" and a "Community" consultation on the regulatory measures they intend to take - comprising definition and analysis of relevant markets and the proposed imposition or removal of regulation on undertakings providing electronic communications networks or services - prior to adoption. The Commission may comment on the draft measures, and in certain cases, exercise its veto power requiring their withdrawal.
