Amendment 298 ++

Amendment 298
Michel Reimon
Verts/ALE
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 1

(1) ‘electronic communications network’ means transmission systems, whether or not based on a permanent infrastructure or centralised administration capacity, and, where applicable, switching or routing equipment and other resources, including network elements which are not active, which permit the conveyance of signals by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic means, including satellite networks, fixed (circuit- and packet-switched, including Internet) and mobile terrestrial networks, electricity cable systems, to the extent that they are used for the purpose of transmitting signals, networks used for radio and television broadcasting, and cable television networks, irrespective of the type of information conveyed;

(1) ‘electronic communications network’ means transmission systems, whether or not based on a permanent infrastructure or centralised administration capacity, and, where applicable, switching or routing equipment and other resources, including network elements which are not active, which permit the conveyance of signals by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic means, including satellite networks, fixed (circuit- and packet-switched, including Internet) and mobile terrestrial networks, electricity cable systems, to the extent that they are used for the purpose of transmitting signals, networks used for radio and television broadcasting, and cable television networks, irrespective of the type of information conveyed; it does not include network elements managed by individuals in the context of not-for-profit activities;

Justification: Individuals participating in a not-for-profit network (such as radio local area networks) or providing not-for-profit services shall not be subject to the obligations imposed on legal persons providing networks or services. Specifically, the strict obligations provided by the Directive 2002/58/CE would be disproportionate and impracticable if imposed on individual volunteers, who should only be subject to the obligations set by the General Data Protection Regulation.

Amendment 299
Evžen Tošenovský
ECR
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 2

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network which either consists wholly of optical fibre elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location or which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions similar network performance in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation. Network performance can be considered similar regardless of whether the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an publicly available electronic communications network which either consists wholly or partially of optical fibre elements.

Amendment 300

EPP
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 2

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network which either consists wholly of optical fibre elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location or which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions similar network performance in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation. Network performance can be considered similar regardless of whether the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network which either consists wholly of optical fibre elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location or any other type of network which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions similar network performance in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation. Very high capacity networks are in any case fibre to the home networks or any other network which provides the technical performance requirements needed for the backhaul of 5G networks. Network performance will be assessed solely on the basis of technical parameters and not take into account the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

Justification: The overarching objective of the Code is to stimulate the roll-out of networks which can serve the future demands of European businesses and citizens. The term very high capacity network seeks to define what future state of the art electronic communications infrastructure look like. It is suggested to clarify the definition in a way that ensures that very high capacity networks benefit the roll-out of 5G networks in the sense that they provide the backhaul for these mobile networks. Future 5G ultra-dense and heavy traffic cells have to be connected to a backhaul with very high requirements in terms of capacity, latency, and availability. The proposal also takes into account the need to ensure technology neutrality since the definition of very high capacity network is not based on any given technology.

Amendment 301
Michel Reimon
Verts/ALE
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 2

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network which either consists wholly of optical fibre elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location or which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions similar network performance in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation. Network performance can be considered similar regardless of whether the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network which either consists wholly of optical fibre elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location corresponding in the fixed-line connection case to the premises and in the mobile connection case to the base station, or which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions at least the same network performance in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation. Network performance can be considered at least the same regardless of whether the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

Justification: Clarification included from the respective Recital 13. Moreover, strengthening the performance benchmark while lifting its upper limit. This clarifies that – independent of the used technology – better performing infrastructures would also be considered ‘very high capacity’.

Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 2

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network which either consists wholly of optical fibre elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location or which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions similar network performance in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation. Network performance can be considered similar regardless of whether the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network consisting wholly of optical fibre elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location, corresponding in the fixed-line connection case to the premises and in the mobile connection case to the base station, or which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions similar network performance in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation.

Justification: To clarify the "very high capacity network" definition in light of the technology landscape.

Amendment 304
Gunnar Hökmark, Michał Boni, Krišjānis Kariņš, Bendt Bendtsen
EPP
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 2

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network which either consists wholly of optical fibre elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location or which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions similar network performance in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation. Network performance can be considered similar regardless of whether the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network which either consists wholly of optical fibre elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location or any network which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions at least equally consistent and reliable network performance in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation. Network performance shall be assessed on the basis of technical parameters, regardless of whether the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

Justification: The aim of the EECC is to incentivise the roll-out of infrastructure capable of delivering the speeds necessary to accelerate the transition to a 5G society. Thus, the definition must, while taking into account future technological developments, thereby maintaining the technology neutrality principle, strictly be limited to include only state of the art infrastructure.

Network performance can be considered similar regardless of whether the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

(2) 'very high capacity network' means an electronic communications network which is capable of delivering under usual peak-time conditions network performance, in terms of available down- and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency and its variation, meeting the needs of the most demanding, digitally intensive end-users, and in particular a network consisting of optical elements at least up to the distribution point at the serving location. Network performance should be assessed without regard to variations in end-user experience due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

Justification: In accordance with rule 104 of the rules of procedure, this amendment is necessary for pressing reasons related to the internal logic of the text

Network performance can be considered similar regardless of whether the end-user experience varies due to the inherently different characteristics of the medium by which the network ultimately connects with the network termination point.

Justification: The word ‘similar’ is too subjective. We should ensure consistency with our objectives.

Article 61 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1

An undertaking shall be deemed to have significant market power if, either individually or jointly with others, it enjoys a position equivalent to dominance, that is to say a position of economic strength affording it the power to behave to an appreciable extent independently of competitors, customers and ultimately consumers.

An undertaking shall be deemed to have significant market power if, either individually or jointly with others, including through a commercial or a co-investment agreement, it enjoys a position equivalent to dominance, that is to say a position of economic strength affording it the power to behave to an appreciable extent independently of competitors, customers and ultimately consumers.

Justification: Co-investment in a certain area must be considered an oligopoly of a few powerful actors (on the local level), as the FDN Federation showed in their analysis of the fixed-line market (www.ffdn.org/en/node/129 ) written for a consultation of the ARCEP in 2016. These oligopolies work as a cartel. The co-investors, in a given area, should be regarded as having the position of the incumbent in that area. Such symmetric regulation would allow welcoming all actors into the market.

Article 61 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1 a (new)

Two or more undertakings may each be deemed to enjoy a position equivalent to having significant market power when they have the possibility to significantly impede effective competition, taking into account the relevant markets including but not limited to the market shares of other market participants, the market power of an undertaking on closely related markets, barriers to entry, market concentration, product differentiation, capacity constraints and switching costs.

Justification: In light of the increasing trend of convergence between markets, and development of oligopolies in Europe, there is a need to include situations where two or more undertakings can foreclose the markets even without tacit collusion. In accordance with rule 104 of the rules of procedure, this amendment is necessary for pressing reasons related to the internal logic of the text

Amendment 795 +

Amendment 795
Michel Reimon
Verts/ALE
Article 61 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2 a (new)

3. Where an undertaking has significant market power on a specific market (the first market), it may also be designated as having significant market power on a closely related market (the second market), where the links between the two markets are such as to allow the market power held in the first market to be leveraged into the second market, thereby strengthening the market power of the undertaking. Consequently, remedies aimed at preventing such leverage may be applied in the second market pursuant to this Directive.

Justification: The Commission’s proposal weakens the SMP regime. The deleted provision aims at preventing SMP operators from leveraging their market power from one market to a closely related market. The SMP regime has been instrumental in promoting the objectives of the framework and should therefore remain at its centre. The reinstated provision supports a strong regulatory ‘safety net’ that provides clarity, predictability, and hence investor certainty. Reinstating the provision also closes an inconsistency in the Commission’s proposal, given that the Commission proposes in Article 65 (2)(d) that “regulation imposed on other relevant markets” shall be taken into account during the market analysis. If regulation on relevant markets is taken into account when analysing if a market should be subject to ex ante regulation, then SMP in relevant markets also needs to be taken into account when defining an SMP-operator in the first place.

1 a. National regulatory authorities shall take account in particular of the following factors:

Justification: Civil engineering access enhances infrastructure-based-competition but should not be treated as the sole or primary remedy. That is what it is necessary to include the complementary obligation of giving access to the entire physical network elements (i.e. passive access). Passive remedies, compared to active ones, remain the main wholesale access products that ensure and promote sustainable infrastructure-based competition. The amendment therefore gives priority to passive over active remedies.

2. National regulatory authorities may impose obligations on an operator to provide access in accordance with this Article, irrespective of whether the assets that are affected by the obligation are part of the relevant market in accordance with the market analysis, provided that the obligation is necessary and proportionate to meet the objectives of Article 3.

2. National regulatory authorities shall take account in particular of the following factors:

Justification: Civil engineering access enhances infrastructure-based-competition but should not be treated as the sole or primary remedy. That is what it is necessary to include the complementary obligation of giving access to the entire physical network elements (i.e. passive access). Passive remedies, compared to active ones, remain the main wholesale access products that ensure and promote sustainable infrastructure-based competition. The amendment therefore gives priority to passive over active remedies.

Justification: Access to civil engineering is important to contribute to sustainable competition, however it should take into account the limited availability or physical constraints of granting such access, therefore the national regulatory authority shall look at the most efficient remedies and not necessarily prioritise one over the other. In addition, the sole focus on retail market is not appropriate and should be replaced by long term sustainable competition in the relevant markets. In accordance with rule 104 of the rules of procedure, this amendment is necessary for pressing reasons related to the internal logic of the text

Cet AM concerne le "network slicing" des réseaux 5G. La 5G permet d'avoir *des* réseaux car le réseau (antennes, matériel opérateur) sera générique et pourra être programmé pour un usage donné en fonction des caractéristiques attendues du réseau (ex: faible latence). Cet AM vise donc à empêcher l'obligation de fournir les services d'accès nécessaires pour qu'un opérateur tiers puisse opérer sur le réseau "slicé", avec pour conséquence la fermeture du marché et de la concurrence.
