Intra- EU Calls

BEREC preliminary analysis of intra-EU calls • Background – October 2017: EP proposed to regulate intra-EU calls – BEREC decided to collect data in order to provide technical expertise – Based on the data BEREC published a preliminary analysis of intra-EU calls • Scope – fixed and mobile markets – five year time period (2013-2017) – quantitative and qualitative questions • Respondents – NRAS had to request operators to provide data, due to lack of data on intra-EU calls (no relevant market)

Intra-EU calls: main findings and next steps • Main findings – Intra-EU calls represent a tiny fraction of all voice minutes: • 0.9% - 7.0% for fixed networks (2017 data); • 0.3% - 13.4% for mobile networks (2017 data) – Decline in fixed voice intra-EU calls; on average approx. – 14% p.a. – Average intra-EU revenues • fixed revenues per minute is approximately €0.10, • mobile revenues per minute is approximately €0.15 – Evidence that traditional international calls are substituted by OTTs • What‘s next • BEREC continues its analysis and publishes further results end of April

SMP Guidelines

SMP-Guidelines • BEREC received draft SMP Guidelines by the European Commission on 14 February 2018 • BEREC is about to finalize the BEREC Opinion on the SMP Guidelines by the end of this week • Publication of BEREC Opinion planned on Monday, March 19

Common Positions on Markets 3a, 3b and 4 • Key findings – CPs remain broadly fit for purpose in helping NRAs to design appropriate remedies for Markets 3a, 3b and 4 – In light of the Implementation reports on current CPs and market developments we have identified some room for amendments or updates – However, no urgent need for a full review and revisions to the report • Next steps – Internal workshop in H2 2018 to take account of final European Electronic Communications Code – Full review and revision of CPs likely in 2019
