". The liberalisation of the European telecommunications market has been beneficial to the whole of the European Union. More active competition within the sector has become the main driver of investments and innovations. I agree with the Commission that the telecommunications market still needs control until it begins to work in line with general competition laws. However, in principal I cannot agree with the Commission’s proposal to establish another institution to regulate this market, as it would further increase the bureaucratic burden and would be distant from the regulated markets of the Member States. In the vote I will be supporting the amendments proposed by the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE), which aim to expand the role of the existing Body of European Regulators in Telecom (BERT) as well as give the European Commission additional powers. National telecommunications market regulators should cooperate more closely with BERT and the European Commission. In my opinion, the proposal of the Committee on Industry would enable market participants to be regulated more effectively and guarantee the effective participation of the national regulatory authorities and the use of their experience at EU level. This in its turn would help prevent taxpayers’ money from being wasted in establishing yet more bureaucratic apparatus."@en1
