Public consultation on the draft Report on Infrastructure Sharing as a lever for ECN/ECS Environmental Sustainability
During its 61st plenary meeting (5-6 December 2024), the BEREC Board of Regulators has approved the draft Report on Infrastructure Sharing as a lever for ECN/ECS Environmental Sustainability for public consultation.
This draft report by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) explores infrastructure sharing as a lever for environmental sustainability in electronic communications networks (ECNs) and services (ECSs), aligning with broader EU objectives to reduce the ICT sector’s environmental impact.
As a response to the EU Green Deal and the UN Agenda 2030, BEREC examines how regulatory tools might enhance the environmental performance of telecommunications by minimizing the footprint associated with network deployment and operation. It capitalises on previous publications of BEREC on infrastructure sharing and bases its analysis on a survey circulated among National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) within BEREC and on a consultation of stakeholders during a technical workshop.
All stakeholders are invited to submit their inputs via EU survey portal no later than 31 January 2025 (17:00 CET) here:
https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/SUS_InfraSharing_report
Contributions should be preferably submitted in English.
We strongly encourage stakeholders to submit their contributions as early as possible. Contributions received after the above-mentioned deadline will not be taken into account.
All contributions received will be published on the BEREC website, taking into account requests for confidentiality and publication of personal data. Any such requests should clearly indicate which information is considered confidential.
