"Mr President, Ms Kauppi is right when she says that subscriber line differentiation is a very important issue. Only in that way can we increase competition at the last mile, which is from the centres to people’s homes, and, ultimately, that alone will be important when Internet charges are determined.
The Commission’s view was a three-stage plan of operation. Firstly, we made a recommendation regarding a procedure to be followed in order to differentiate between subscriber lines. Secondly, using the tools of competition policy, we shall investigate abuse of a dominant position in local networks. Thirdly, we said that subscriber line differentiation will be a part of the new legislation. At present, we are putting together a package on the new legislation. The issue currently being considered is whether subscriber line differentiation could be introduced separately alongside the package and a prompt reading requested for it. It always takes time to debate a whole package of measures of this size. We could perhaps adopt a faster procedure when debating special matters. The Commission has not yet taken a decision, but serious consideration is being given to such a procedure."@en1
