The new approach to economic regulation in the electronic communications sector in Europe: the application of regulatory remedies

Abstract

The European Union’s regulatory framework for the electronic communications sector changed in July 2003 and was aligned more closely with competition law. The new framework includes guidance and constraints concerning the selection and definition of markets, and their competitive analysis, for the purpose of applying ex ante regulation. However, greater discretion is left to national authorities in the choice and implementation of regulatory remedies. This paper gives some background and insight on one aspect of the European Commission’s efforts to foster a consistent and efficient approach to regulatory remedies, by promoting independent economic analysis of the problems arising in the main market areas and the regulatory options that are available for dealing with them. Three substantive papers dealing respectively with regulatory remedies in broadband, mobile and narrowband markets follow this one.
