lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the telecommunications package is about to achieve its first goal. Passions in one way or another will give rise yet to a colourful debate. The rapporteurs, Mr Brunetta, Mrs Niebler, and Mr Paasilinna, in particular, as well as Mr van Velzen, have all worked very hard indeed to create compromises, and I would like to say a special thank you to them. The definition of a dominant market position has been the main area of special attention. The balance now achieved will be a clear message to the Council, which it will also then have to take account of. The Commission at one stage was going to walk all over the national supervisory authorities, but that did not happen. Owing to cultural differences the national regulatory authorities must be given some leeway and they must have their role strengthened. The Commission is above the NRAs, and its role must be to monitor the adherence to rules common to all. We must be able to intervene in roaming charges that are currently distorting competition. A written question of mine last year was connected with the hampering effect these roaming charges have on competition. The workings of an open internal market must be respected. There must be further wide-ranging discussion with regard to the position of virtual operators. We have to consider upon what terms and conditions a virtual operator can work in the network, to permit free competition and to guarantee a benefit to consumers, though, on the other hand, the rights of network ownership should be protected. We are in a bipartite situation and we are hardly going to find a solution to it right away."@en1
