Today’s comprehensive set of conclusions provide a clear political guidance on what Europe needs in terms of digital infrastructure in the coming years to improve its competitiveness and address the current and future challenges.
Zoltán Kovács, Hungarian minister of state for international communication and relations
In light of the Commission’s White Paper and the recent Draghi and Letta reports, the Council conclusions aim to take stock of the progress made at European level, with particular attention to digital infrastructures, while identifying the numerous challenges that still lie ahead. The conclusions also aim to convey a comprehensive set of messages on fostering innovation, ensuring security and resilience, promoting fair competition, and driving investments in digital infrastructures to advance the EU’s competitiveness and digital transformation goals.
The text of the conclusions touches upon important questions, such as the possible convergence of cloud and telecoms in the digital ecosystem – where the significance of an impact assessment is stressed – or market consolidation, where the need for effective competition in the relevant market is highlighted.
Regulatory matters are also covered in the set of conclusions. Maintaining the possibility of ex-ante control on certain access markets, as well as taking into account member states’ specificities, competition, and consumer welfare in the context of the migration from copper to fibre, are emphasised in the text.

Summary of comments, please see attached PDF for full comments. Introduction At a high level, we welcome the commission’s focus on (critical) infrastructure in the union.

Overall, the White Paper is very disappointing. While it has some useful input and ideas on security and submarine networks, it has huge flaws in areas including: – private networks – 5G – cloud vs telecom – interconnect – spectrum – competition – wholesale regulation Some of the problems are factual inaccuracy or vagueness, such as a lack of definition of “private networks”, or some confused references to Wi-Fi in a section on 5G site…

We understand that EU does not have a single market for electronic communications networks and services, but 27 national markets with different supply and demand conditions, network architectures, different levels of coverage of very high-capacity networks, and for avoiding the fragmentation of the European telecoms sector it will require a significant investment. Cybersecurity is a technical issue. To make sure the EU is ready for a digital…

The White Paper indicates that the European Commision (EC) plans a huge regulatory expansion of legacy telecom law to a loosely defined, large array of private network operators and ‘digital services’.

Regarding some network infrastructure being publicly funded or supported, I would like to express some caveats that it might be a problem to distribute it to private companies.

Europe has been implementing a series of regulatory measures on Tech companies for several years now, raising the question of what the real impact will be on the tech industry itself and how it will improve the tech ecosystem in Europe, or whether it will just create new regulatory challenges for the digital economy.

In de eerste alinea van haar inleiding vermeldt de commissie weliswaar, dat…

Although we welcome the European Commission’s White Paper, we strongly oppose to the idea that Chinese vendors as Huawei or ZTE as 5G suppliers are more risky than other companies. When we read that the Commission considered that Huawei and ZTE present in fact materially higher risks than other 5G suppliers and confirmed that decisions adopted by Member States to restrict those suppliers are justified and compliant with the 5G Toolbox, and…

Ireland is supportive of each scenario under pillar 1. They align with Irelands previous calls for a pro-investment approach to connectivity as well as making the process for applicants applying for EU funding simpler. Regarding the proposal to broaden the scope of the current regulatory framework, Ireland remains sceptical. In our view, the White Paper has not provided enough evidence to suggest that there has been a market failure that would…

From a Greek perspective, qualifying a company as a high-risk supplier just because of its geographical origin may prove fairly hard to explain to people. Even if the explanation refers to matters of national interest, it may immediately face the criticism that national security is a matter for member-states and not an element imposed across the bloc by a central authority. Apparently any exclusion or even restriction of 5G suppliers would…

Latvia expresses reservations regarding proposed consolidation in the EU telecommunications sector. We believe that market dynamics, including purchasing power and population density, significantly influence market entry and innovation. Latvia’s concern is whether cross-border operators will prioritize investments in rural and remote areas, crucial for equitable national coverage. The specific needs of smaller Member States may be overlooked…
My feedback is limited in its scope, as it is not addressed to the entire white paper, but rather a specific section: 3.2.6. (Copper switch-off). Upon reading it, I have an idea for the Commission to explore with the private sector. The white paper stresses the value of migrating from legacy copper to newly deployed fibre networks with regards to the EU’s green objectives, but only within the context of saving energy associated with the cost…

Tu je dôležité upozorniť, že 5G nikdy nebolo posúdené vzhľadom na environmentálne dopady, nie to ešte 6G! Okrem toho je dôležité zabezpečiť, aby sa pri implementácii navrhovaných opatrení zohľadnili potreby a záujmy…
Muy bueno lo de recordar la “Declaración Europea sobre los Derechos y Principios Digitales para la Década Digital”: Debe permanecer como principio “constitucional” (digamos así) de todas la políticas y normativas UE en materia digital. Muy bueno lo de señalar las oportunidades y riesgos de la informática cuántica. No se indica expresamente pero las criptomonedas podrían estar muy amenazadas de devaluación brusca, generalizada y persistente…
Dear Sir or Madam, The White Paper provides a reasonably solid diagnosis of the problems facing the telecommunications market in Europe (Pages 1-19). It was pointed out that the achievement of the goals of the digital decade (80% infrastructure coverage of 1 Gbps is forecast instead of 100% in 2030) is threatened by, among other things – lack of a single market (each country has different regulations, especially at the consumer level) -…
If a collaborative Connectivity and computing ecosystems will be created within the EU the interoperability between different sectors like building or infrastructure must be given. Due to that interoperable data is evident. Please use standards from CEN/TC 442 “Bulding Information Modelling (BIM).
The security of critical infrastructure is of paramount importance to deliver economic growth and societal benefit, as clearly stated in the document. Security against future threats, like quantum computers, is also recognized as a major target for EU digital infrastructure, and the document considers two technologies: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). While both technologies are solid, they present…
Zgłaszam uwagę, ponieważ nie uwzględnione zostały sprawy przyszłości radiofonii naziemnej. Cyfryzacja radiofonii naziemnej jest tematem bardzo często bagatelizowanym i lekceważonym przez większość państw członkowskich UE. Finlandia w jawny sposób dyskryminuje cyfrową radiofonię naziemną w standardzie DAB+ poprzez rezerwację Pasma III wyłącznie dla telewizji i to rodem z ponurych czasów zimnej wojny pomimo, że wszystkie kraje członkowskie UE…
From my view major hurdles in EU countries are the bureaucracy, statutory requirements and the lengthy processes. Straight forward and easy implementable, aligned policies and regulations for predictable and timely processes and fees for right of way, (multi sector) infrastructure sharing, network sharing, spectrum sharing, open access to public facilities, and free (access to) GIS maps of open access infrastructure (e.g. facilities, ducts…
Il n’est absolument pas normal de faire payer à tous, via l’impôt, un service que seuls utilisent les consommateurs de vidéos et séries en ligne. C’est au consommateur de payer en fonction de sa propre consommation !
Mon avis est que c’est le consommateur qui doit payer. Surtout pas de taxe générale et pour tout le monde. C’est celui qui regarde des vidéos sur son portable, c’est l’abonné à Netflix, qui doit payer. Mais ce n’et pas parce que nous avons été incapables de créer Google, ou Amazon, ou Apple, ou Microsoft, ou X, ou Facebook que l’on doit les taxer à mort. Il y a des clients pour ces entreprises, et ce sont eux qui doivent payer. Ces entreprises…
The EU faces the challenge of harmonizing various countries, each progressing at different speeds in terms of development and adoption. To overcome this, it’s crucial not to delve into excessive details but rather concentrate on establishing a unified primary road infrastructure with one or more hubs in each country. Each country should permit the growth of node-based networks around these EU hubs. This approach aligns with the Web3 vision of…
V žádném případě nesouhlasím, digitalizace je neosobní, hrozí zneužití že strany úřadů, vlády… Ohrožuje osobní údaje , vyžaduje citlivá data lidí. Důležité dokumenty nedáváte ve všech jazycích členských států . Překlady nemusí být přesně. Je to diskriminace ze strany EU.
Buenos días, No existe un intervencionismo económico bueno. El abuso de normas que condicionan las decisiones reduce el mercado, alza los precios y daña el crecimiento, por eso deben ser retiradas una vez se corrijan los excesos. John Locke dejo dicho que los poderes públicos (el Estado) deben intervenir lo menos posible en la economía y en los mercados, pero construir un corpus normativo que garantice el derecho a la propiedad privada y la…
1. In terms of frequency policy, it should be noted that not only IMT companies need frequencies, but also culture, media and the event industry. The range between 470 and 694 MHz, which is harmonized throughout Europe for wireless production equipment such as wireless microphones, should be considered in particular. This harmonization must remain in place (“Save Our Spectrum”). The previous joint use of Broadcasting, PMSE…
