RD217 - ETNO Reflection Document on the revision of the Television without Frontiers Directive

In ETNO's view, the review of the TV without Frontiers Directive should not extend into an all-encompassing content regulation.The key criterion for regulation should be the degree of user’s control as opposed to publisher control. Many of the obligations found in the current Directive are justified by reference to the user's lack of control in the context of traditional broadcasting. Consequently, future obligations should remain limited to services which are characterised by a similar lack of control (broadcasting services).

MAY 2005 EC070 - ETNO Expert Contribution on Harmonisation and Flexibility in the context of radio spectrum management

ETNO considers the standardisation of radiocommunication equipment and the harmonisation of radio spectrum as the basis for a successful development and placing on the market.Nevertheless, a more flexible use of radio spectrum could facilitate a more efficient radio spectrum use. ETNO takes the view that sufficient experience has to be gained before appropriate regulation modifications can take place and favours a careful and progressive approach. The EC and the CEPT should be involved in order to adopt a common approach in the end.
