"Mr President, the Commission shares the honourable Member’s view that the implementation of the 116 000 hotline for missing children requires further efforts in many Member States. In that respect, the revised telecom rules – and, in particular, I refer to Article 27a of the Universal Service Directive – require Member States to make every effort to ensure that citizens have access to the service operating a hotline to report cases of missing children. In that respect, the Commission is carefully monitoring and assisting Member States in the transposition of that new provision into national law, which has to be completed by 25 May 2011.
On 17 November last year, the Commission adopted the Communication entitled ‘Dial 116 000: The European hotline for missing children’. The objectives of the Communication are to renew the Commission’s call on the Member States to implement the missing children hotline as a matter of priority and to ensure that the same high quality of service is offered throughout the Union to provide practical support to the Member States.
The Communication highlights existing best practice developed by the Member States to address the main problems linked to the operating cost and telecom cost of the 116 000 hotline. The Commission proposes using this best practice to work out a set of common minimum standards that would guarantee a high quality service throughout the EU so that parents and children can count on the same assistance no matter where they are. This extensive work goes beyond electronic communications issues for which I am responsible and is coordinated by my colleague, Mrs Reding."@en1
