Launch of a voting round of BoR electronic voting procedure on EC questionnaire on the implementation and application of the universal service provisions – a synthesis of the results

On 3 March 2014 the European Commission informed BEREC that DG CONNECT had started its preparations for the fourth review of the scope of universal service. In order to base the review on solid evidence, the Deputy Director-General of the Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) of the European Commission sent a questionnaire to BEREC aimed at gathering detailed information on the implementation of the universal service rules in the European Union.

The questionnaire was sent to all BEREC Member and Observer National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs). All NRAs from the European Union Member States and six non EU countries have responded to the questionnaire. The synthesis of the main results of the replies to the Commission questionnaire has been submitted to the BEREC Members and Observers for comments in the period of 26-27 June 2014.

Following the comments round, on 1 July the BEREC Chair launched a voting round, which will end on 2 July 2014.
