Reding: "Grönt ljus från EU krävs för funktionell separation"

Vivane Reding klargjorde vid ett tal i går att det kommer att krävas grönt ljus från EU-kommissionen innan en funktionell separation får implementeras. Det var vid ett tal vid European Competitive Telecommunications Associations, Ectas, regulatoriska konferens som Viviane Reding sa följande:

"The costs and benefits of functional separation, and therefore the desirability of imposing such a solution, depend on national circumstances. Before implementing functional separation, the national regulator should therefore undertake a detailed impact and cost-benefit analysis of the proposed measure - and that includes the impact on investments by the company concerned and by new entrants. The "green light" from the Commission will be necessary before the measures will be imposed."
