PRESS RELEASE
Competition: Commission calls on Luxembourg to comply with Court
judgment to simplify access to telecommunication markets (8 January
2007)The European Commission has formally requested Luxembourg to comply
within two months with a Court of Justice ruling of 12 June 2003
regarding access to its telecommunications markets. The Court ruling
confirmed that Luxembourg has failed to fully transpose Directive
90/388/CEE on competition in the markets for telecommunication services
into national law. In particular, procedures for obtaining rights of way
to roll out telecommunication networks alongside roads and railway lines
in Luxembourg lack transparency. The Commission considers that despite
improvements to its legislation, Luxembourg has still not executed the
judgment. It has therefore decided to send a request explaining which
further steps Luxembourg needs to take to comply with the judgment. This
request takes the form of a reasoned opinion, the second step of EC
Treaty infringement procedures for failure to respect a Court ruling
(Article 228). If Luxembourg continues to fail to comply, the Commission
may refer the matter to the Court for a second time and request the
Court to impose fines on Luxembourg until fully transparent procedures
are in place.
