lpv:translated text	"It is extremely important that the EU’s legislation and accompanying rules in the area of telecommunications should be updated concurrently with the explosive global development where digital and mobile communication is concerned. It is also important that this should take place within the framework of the conditions of the internal market and with a view to safeguarding free competition. In this context, the report illuminates a number of important aspects. What the report does not discuss, and what the Commission’s report does not take account of, either, are the different conditions prevailing in the EU’s Member States when it comes to developing and maintaining different types of network. When it comes to Sweden, which is sparsely populated and where there are significant distances between one locality and another, the public service element has a relatively larger role to play than elsewhere when it comes to the functions and investments of the telecommunications industry. Where society’s opportunities for investment and decision making are concerned, together with citizens’ ability to access functioning communications networks of equal quality, the consequences of completely opening up the markets for telecommunications networks in the way described in the report are unclear. I therefore abstained from voting on this report."@en1
