Press Release: Competition: Commission endorses, with comments, Spanish regulator´s measure to make mobile market more competitive

The European Commission on 31 January 2006 decided to endorse a measure proposed by the Spanish national telecom regulator ‘Comisión del Mercado de las telecomunicaciones’ (CMT) to regulate the market for mobile access and call origination in Spain. But the Commission also asked the Spanish regulator to keep the market development under close review. The European Commission’s decision was based on Article 7 of the EU Framework Directive for electronic communications (2002/21/EC), whereby the Commission ensures that there is a consistent application by national regulatory authorities of competition law principles in this sector.
