Press Release: Telecoms Rules: Commission proceeds with infringement cases against Spain, Poland and Cyprus, and closes proceedings against Latvia and Finland

In a new round of proceedings against possible infringements of EU Telecoms rules, the Commission decided to send a reasoned opinion to Spain on universal service requirements and refer Poland and Cyprus to the European Court of Justice on broadband retail regulation and rights of way respectively. At the same time, the Commission could close two pending cases, as Latvia and Finland have taken satisfactory measures related to the Article 7 notification mechanism and must carry rules respectively.
