Annual Report - 1999
1999 saw the launch of the European Commission’s Review of EU telecoms market legislation. An outsider might find it strange to start a debate on the need to change laws that are little more than two years old. However, we should not forget that most of the Directives in the 1998 liberalisation package are explicitly designed as temporary measures which are needed only to facilitate the transition from monopoly markets to full competition.
