PRESS RELEASE
EU telecoms rules: 9 new infringement cases opened, while 8 cases go
into the second round (12 October 2006)In a new round of proceedings
against possible infringements of EU telecoms rules, the European
Commission has opened nine new infringement cases against Member States.
The Commission is also sending a reasoned opinion, thereby opening the
second stage of infringement proceedings, to eight Member States. The
majority of cases in this new round concern a failure to complete market
reviews to assess the status of competition on national telecom markets
or the lack of caller location information to emergency authorities. The
Commission also closed 9 cases, following satisfactory implementation of
EU legislation in the Member States concerned.

are the issues?:
