RD310 - ETNO Reflection Document on the ERG Draft 2010 Work Programme

ETNO understands that the 2010 ERG Work Programme is of transitional nature in view of the establishment of the successor Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) in 2010. ETNO believes that BEREC should consult with stakeholders on its work programme as soon as possible after its establishment. A key success factor for BEREC will be its transparency. Furthermore ETNO calls for a direct stakeholder involvement in the development of regulatory guidance under the new framework.

ETNO welcomes the ERG Work Programme (WP) consultation. We understand that the 2010 WP is of transitional nature in view of the establishment of the successor Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) in 2010. ETNO believes that BEREC should consult with stakeholders on its work programme as soon as possible after its establishment in order to define its priorities in a timely and transparent manner. 
This will be a timely opportunity to evaluate the relevance of different ERG work streams and the ambitions of BEREC in terms of harmonisation. A key success factor for BEREC will be its transparency. ETNO calls for a direct and transparent stakeholder involvement both in the development of regulatory guidance under the new framework and in the notification process under Article 7 and Article 7a of the new Framework Directive and would be pleased to contribute to the formulation of the rules that will govern these processes.
