lpv:spoken text	"The rapporteurs have done excellent work here. Mr Paasilinna is an old hand but I would like to welcome Mr Brunetta and Mrs Niebler to the secret world, the secret language, of telecommunication junkies. What are we actually about here? What we are about is creating new rules to look at who can play and on what terms. We are looking for a genuine pan-European single market. We are looking at where regulation has succeeded and, if I could say to Mr Harbour, not only where regulation has failed but why it has failed, and that is very important. Mr Paasilinna, in his written contribution, posed the question who will regulate the regulator and I think that the role of the Commission is absolutely crucial in this. It is not only about who will regulate the regulator but why we need to regulate the regulator. Mr Clegg spent an enormous amount of time just last year on the local loop unbundling rules and I am posing a separate question to you, Commissioner, to ask if you will give an indication of where already we are seeing resistance at Member State level to implementing local loop unbundling. There are a couple of positive things that I want to draw your attention to, because we also need to make sure that access in its widest sense really is available. I tabled amendments in the Industry Committee on the rights of disabled consumers, particularly because of inadequacies in the RTTE directive which I know the Commission are aware of, and I was pleased that the committee and, I hope, Parliament are going to continue to support this. Going back to my original point, what this is really about is making sure that the European Union’s telecommunications industry has a climate in which it can thrive and survive and remain competitive. These are important steps in that direction."@en1
