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
Michał Boni, Jerzy Buzek, Gunnar Hökmark
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 +

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’.

David Borrelli, Dario Tamburrano
EFD
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.

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 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

2. Where Member States grant rights of use for harmonised radio spectrum for a limited period of time, those rights of use for harmonised radio spectrum shall be valid for a duration of at least 15 years, except in the case of temporary rights, temporary extension of rights pursuant to paragraph 3 and rights for secondary use in harmonised bands, and subject to the provisions of Article 19 and 30. Where the rights of use duration goes beyond 15 years, a mid-term assessment shall be convened after 10 years of granting the rights of use. Rights of use may be withdrawn or adjusted by the Member States pursuant to this assessment if such allocation prevents:'''''- ensuring the efficient and effective use of radio spectrum,'''''- pursuing a general interest objective, such as the achievement of the Union connectivity targets, or'''''- organising and using radio spectrum for public order, public security purposes or defence.'''''In case of withdrawal, the rights of use can only be revoked after a transitional period.

Justification: The harmonised license duration is a set as a minimum but it remains up to the MS to decide to grant it for a longer period. The proposal here aims at guaranteeing at the same time a degree of visibility and certainty for market players (15 years) across the EU, while introducing flexibility safeguards in case MS decide to grant rights of use for a longer period.

Justification: We need to ensure effective and efficient use of spectrum and promotion of efficient investments by bringing certainty to the markets. Setting a licence duration might be one means to achieve this. However, trusting the scarce resource of radio spectrum to limited amount of players in society for a long time may hamper innovations and technological development as well as harm the competitive market dynamics and the ability of new entrants to access spectrum reliant markets, which all may result in less positive impact for citizens and consumers. We should keep in mind that there might not be a single duration that is suitable for all situations and Member States. Further than that, betting the 30 years licence to a wrong horse in 1987 could have created significant obstacles for European digital development.

Where Member States grant rights of use for harmonised radio spectrum for a limited period of time, those rights of use for harmonised radio spectrum shall be valid for a maximum duration of 25 years, reviewed at regular intervals of maximum 5 years for assessing and amending the rights according to laydown procedures.

Justification: The draft Code proposes to extend to a minimum of 25 years the duration of rights to use the radio spectrum. This is disproportionate and unnecessary. Experience shows us that 20 years is already too long, especially considering that the regulation does not enable regulators to act when necessary, e.g. by withdrawing authorisation, even if the operator fails to honor its commitments. Allocating spectrum for more than 5 years would necessitate adding a revision clause/sunset date regularly, with sanctions if the operator fails its obligations. The maximum length of allocation shall be 25 years, with such scheduled sunset dates. The "use it or lose it" clause proposed in the Code is insufficient to enable NRAs to withdraw authorisation if necessary. The capacities of the NRAs should thus be enhanced and more detailed in order to control the use of the licences, preventing holders from "parking" frequencies for too long, thereby hindering connectivity and innovation.

Where that provision is not commercial in character or is ancillary to another commercial activity or public service which is not dependent on the conveyance of signals on those networks, any undertaking, public authority or user providing such access shall not be subject to any general authorisation for the provision of electronic communications networks or services pursuant to Article 12, to obligations regarding users rights pursuant to Title III of Part III of this Directive nor to obligations to interconnect their networks pursuant to Article 59 (1). Individuals providing such access not-for-profit shall not be liable for information transmitted by third parties over such access.

Justification: The Proposal intends to foster the development of radio local area networks, especially where they provide services which are not commercial in character. The development of such networks mainly depends on the personal participation of individual volunteers, who expend the networks by managing their own relays and access points. However, such a participation is hindered by several laws which seek to prevent the sharing of Internet connections amongst several users by making people responsible (and potentially liable) for all communication made through their Wi-Fi connection, and create legal risks for people sharing their connection.In Germany, rights-holders have used a "secondary liability" doctrine to chill the growth of the community networks movement. In France too, copyright law imposes a secondary liability regime that creates significant legal uncertainty for people sharing their network connections with other users. The so-called "mere conduit", inscribed in EU law since 2000 in the directive on information society services, needs to be clearly guaranteed and expanded to small-area wireless access points.In the same spirit, contract clauses that forbid subscribers to share their connections with others should be prohibited in any case: the possibility to share their connections should not be limited to specific offers.Promoting a right to share Internet connections is all the more vital considering the economic and ecological crises, as well as the rapid increase of populations that cannot afford access to the Internet. In this context, connection sharing can play a critical role in fostering a more equitable and sustainable use of telecommunications infrastructure.

Justification: Significant Market Power (SMP) is an important barrier for regulatory intervention. Oligopolistic structures are increasingly commonplace as a result of market consolidation and NRAs should be able to regulate oligopolistic market structures when necessary. We should either delete the part on very high capacity networks or ensure that the objectives in Article 3 are in fact equal.

Justification: The tools that NRAs are given by telecom regulation are mainly focused on situations where Significant Market Power (SMP) is demonstrable. This is an important barrier for regulatory intervention that is not easy for NRAs to overcome. Importantly, as BEREC rightly points out, situations of Significant Market Power are not the only threats to competition. Oligopolistic structures where the market is dominated by not one but a reduced number of players are also problematic and increasingly commonplace as a result of market consolidation. Member States must be entitled to empower their NRAs to deal with oligopolistic market structures.

National regulatory authorities shall impose obligations upon reasonable request to grant access to wiring and cables inside buildings or up to the first concentration or distribution point where that point is located outside the building, on the owners of such wiring and cable or on undertakings that have the right to use such wiring and cables, where this is justified on the grounds that replication of such network elements would be economically inefficient or physically impracticable. The access conditions imposed may include specific rules on access, transparency and non-discrimination and for apportioning the costs of access, which, where appropriate, are adjusted to take into account risk factors.

Where this is justified on the grounds that replication of such network elements would be economically inefficient or technically impossible and the access to such elements is necessary to foster sustainable competition, national regulatory authorities shall impose obligations upon reasonable request, to grant access to wiring and cables inside buildings or up to the first concentration or distribution point where that point is located outside the building on the owners of such wiring and cable or on undertakings that have the right to use such wiring and cables. The access conditions imposed may include specific rules on access, including where necessary to the required associated facilities, on transparency, non-discrimination and for apportioning the costs of access, which, where appropriate, are adjusted to take into account risk factors.Such obligations shall only be imposed following a market analysis procedure in accordance with article 65 and shall complement but not replace regulatory measures taken in accordance with article 66 to ensure the effectiveness of the actions of national regulatory authorities to comply with the objectives set out in article 3 of this Directive.

Justification: Symmetric obligations being imposed on all undertaking without regard to their market power shall only be imposed where justified and necessary given their potential negative impact on investment and competition. They should therefore be linked to a market analysis procedure to prevent that they achieve the opposite goals that the obligations taken by regulators under the SMP regime seek to achieve.

Justification: The connection between 59(1) and 59(2) should be clarified through the negotiations in the EP and with the Council.

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.

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
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.

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. They shall take account in particular of the following factors:

Justification: Before intervening in wholesale markets, NRAs would have to demonstrate that their intervention corresponds to a retail problem. The focus on retail markets would lead to the automatic de-regulation of wholesale markets in many cases, and would ultimately lead to the monopolisation or ‘duopolisation’. In addition, retail competition of the kind where all retail providers are dependent on one wholesale provider is not sustainable in the long run and only amounts to ‘fake-competition’ and could lead to higher prices and less innovation and choice for end-users.The mere existence of a “prospective commercial access offer” should not be a sufficient basis upon which to require regulatory forbearance – if it were, then the absence of take-up could result in a de facto unregulated monopoly (see also BEREC opinion BoR (16) 213 (p. 7)).

Article 71 – paragraph 2 a (new)

2 a. In order to account for the long-term interest of end-users, national regulatory authorities should focus more on facilitating network investments by all operators. Regulation should not be to the detriment of innovative developments, in particular very high capacity networks, software defined networks and network function virtualisation. Only where strictly necessary to safeguard competition and where no alternative access possibilities, including access based on commercial agreements, exist, regulated access should be maintained in an appropriate and balanced manner, i.e. at a single network layer. Regulated access at multiple network layers has led to unnecessarily high complexity with regard to the consistency of regulated wholesale products at different network layers and unduly restricts flexibility and commercial freedom in the dynamic telecoms market environment. Limiting access to a single network layer that best addresses the problem identified at the retail level will significantly reduce regulatory costs and the potential for regulatory gaming by market players, leading to more efficient and appropriate outcomes. In this regard, national regulatory authorities should assess whether active or passive access is more appropriate in consideration of national or local circumstances. As unbundling is detrimental to network investments by allowing 'cream-skimming' of the most profitable customers at average cost, there should no longer be an obligation to provide unbundled access, which undermines investment models based on product and price differentiation.

Current provisions for co-investment practices do not allow non-profit or local ISPs to participate in the investments, restricting this opportunity only to larger and incumbent actors. Although Community Networks (CN) and local actors have proven successful in connecting underprivileged communities both in urban and rural areas, it would be only normal to considered them equal members of the telecoms ecosystem, thus giving them fair and equal access to co-investment opportunities. Moreover, co-investment in a certain area must be considered as an oligopoly of a few powerful actors that work as a cartel. This is thus not acceptable to reduce the obligations. Furthermore, the access to co-investment agreement shall be affordable for small operators.

Regulatory treatment of new network elements

1.

A national regulatory authority shall not impose obligations as regards new network elements that are part of the relevant market on which it intends to impose or maintain obligations in accordance with Articles 66 and Articles 67 to 72 and that the operator designated as significant market power on that relevant market has deployed or is planning to deploy, if the following cumulative conditions are met:

(a) the deployment of the new network elements is open to co-investment offers according to a transparent process and on terms which favour sustainable competition in the long term including inter alia fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms offered to potential co-investors; flexibility in terms of the value and timing of the commitment provided by each co-investor; possibility to increase such commitment in the future; reciprocal rights awarded by the co-investors after the deployment of the co-invested infrastructure;

(b) the deployment of the new network elements contributes significantly to the deployment of very high capacity networks;

(c) access seekers not participating in the co-investment can benefit from the same quality, speed, conditions and end-user reach as was available before the deployment, either through commercial agreements based on fair and reasonable terms or by means of regulated access maintained or adapted by the national regulatory authority;

When assessing co-investment offers and processes referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph, national regulatory authorities shall ensure that those offers and processes comply with the criteria set out in Annex IV.

Justification: Necessary because this article could pave the way for the existence of new fiber networks without allowing NRAs to intervene efficiently where it becomes necessary.
