Le contrôle des marchés dans le secteur des communications électroniques
The control of markets in electronic communications sector

Summary/Abstract: The adoption and the transposition of the new 2002 European telecommunications regulatory framework have introduced a new market control procedure in three steps. First, the European Commission is tasked with adopting a recommendation on relevant product and service markets in the electronic communications sector to identify markets displaying characteristics which may justify the imposition of specific regulatory obligations. Second, the national regulatory authorities must carry out an analysis of the relevant markets to conclude whether a market is effectively competitive. Third, where a national regulatory authority concludes that a market is not effectively competitive, it must impose to the undertakings with significant market power appropriate specific regulatory obligations on them.
