• ETNO welcomes the Commission’s yearly Implementation Report  as a comprehensive and valuable source of information on EU communica-tions markets.
  
• ETNO believes that the forthcoming 11th Report should be drafted in a most transparent manner in order to generate an outcome which is as sound and reliable as possible. To this end, ETNO encourages the Commission to carry out a cross-check of relevant data with industry in the drafting process and to consult market players on the draft report.
• Wherever the report takes a position on national implementation issues, the Commission should give reasons for its assessment and weigh the arguments of all stakeholders.
• Wherever possible, the report should take into account broader market developments and trends which affect the competitive situation in Member States.
