The European Commission has asked Belgium to provide further
details about its planned regulation measures for the country's
broadcasting and broadband Internet markets, due to a number of
competition concerns, the commission said Tuesday.
Belgium's plans would oblige telecommunications company Belgacom
SA (BELG.BT) and cable operators Telenet Group Holding NV
(TNET.BT), Brutele, Numericable, Tecteo and AIESH to give
competitors access to their respective broadband and cable
networks.
The commission, which has antitrust powers in the European
Union, is asking Belgian regulators to take full account of market
developments in both markets and to further substantiate and
justify its reasoning with regard to the broadcasting market.
"Regulators have to carefully examine market developments and
avoid imposing disproportionate obligations on market operators, as
this may create unnecessary burdens and ultimately stifle
investment and innovation," EU digital agenda commissioner Neelie
Kroes said in a statement. "The commission has therefore asked the
Belgian regulators to carefully examine the competitive conditions
in the markets concerned and provide further evidence for their
proposed measures."
