"The report assesses recent developments in relation to the conception of a universal service enshrined in the directive, and in the context of new developments in the area of universal access to broadband, coordinating approaches and financing them, taking into account the specific needs of vulnerable people and disabled consumers. The report also focuses on the emergency number 112, which was introduced to allow citizens to contact the emergency services by using a single number. The EU rules place an obligation on the state to ensure that citizens are able to connect to a public telephone landline network, and to have access to public telephone services with functioning Internet access. All States must ensure that consumers have access to information services, registers and public telephones, as well as specific measures for the disabled. The single European emergency number 112 was introduced in 1991 in connection with a directive of the EU Council of Ministers, and attention is also given to it in the Universal Service Directive. The need to raise awareness of the 112 number has been emphasised repeatedly, and the poor quality of the services provided to citizens so far through the 112 number has been pointed out. In my opinion, we should provide more support for the 112 number in order to give citizens the greatest possible benefit, because if we do not, the number will lose its justification."@en1
