lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Commission’s communication provides an in-depth analysis of the sector and certainly presents a series of positive proposals. However, in my opinion, further study of certain areas is necessary, such as the way the competition criteria are applied and how to tackle a market which is as yet imperfect. Although it is true that excellent results have already been achieved in the mobile telephony sector, I would argue – and the rapporteur has put in a great of deal of work in this area which has certainly paid off – that the cable transmissions sector is developing new infrastructures which may require convergence of regulatory policies. I believe that the final objective is liberalisation where the general competition rules guarantee the legality of the procedures, favouring a more competitive market and producing better results for the end user in terms of both services and price. These are further reasons why I feel that the directives’ application period should be limited, so that it can be determined to what extent the sector is still in need of legislation and whether that legislation would be able to react swiftly to the developments in a market which is constantly changing. Finally, I feel that it is important for Parliament to express its disapproval of the auction system. Auctions tend to push licence fees up above their effective economic value, and this increase is then passed on to the consumer as prices are raised and it is no longer possible to introduce new services. The Member States which have applied this system should, moreover, not treat the profits as their own general resources but should use them to promote the development of the information society and electronic commerce, as they were called upon to do by the Lisbon Summit."@en1
