Annual Report - 2001
ETNO appealed to EU’s Swedish and Belgian Presidencies to avoid over-regulation of the telecoms sector in order to revive the flagging e-Europe objectives. MEPs and national officials were targeted throughout the year with the message that industry needs a light and predictable regulatory framework across the single market.

MEPs and national officials were targeted throughout the year with the message that industry needs a light and predictable regulatory framework across the single market.
As the EU’s Communications Review package approached its final legislative stage, ETNO organised a meeting on 19 October with Belgian Telecoms Minister Rik Daems, who chaired the Telecoms Council during Belgium’s Presidency. The meeting was attended by high-level representatives from many member companies.
Prior to its meeting with the minister, ETNO organised a dinner on 18 October with high-level Commission officials in charge of the telecoms package. The well-attended event provided a timely opportunity to explore in detail ETNO’s concerns about the telecoms package.
