Madrid. (IRIN). - The regulation of mobile termination rates are continuing despite the differences of the European Commission (EC) regarding the proposal of the Telecommunications Market Commission (CMT) on the 'glide path' ( stepwise decline in prices), to take effect in April 2012 and reach its target price on January 1, 2014, explained the CMT sources.
For its part, the rules of the European Union (EU) requires that no later than December 31, 2012, mobile termination rates are set across the EU according to their actual cost. The EU executive argues that the delay proposed by the CMT "could mean another year of unnecessarily high prices for mobile phone users in Spain in a time when Spanish consumers already hit hard by the economic crisis."
Meanwhile, the body headed by Bernardo Lorenzo has stated through its blog that the EC can only recommend, "never force", the modification of the measure. The CMT has explained that the price reduction to undertake at once or within a very small could be a "destabilizing impact" of the mobile market at a time when revenues fall some of the operators and the industry must undertake "strong investments. "
The telecommunications regulatory body has explained that the EC is a procedure. Thus, the national regulatory authorities, such as CMT, send its draft measure to Brussels, studying it for a month. After this analysis can not make comments or express concerns, which is what happened in this case.
Then, the EC announces his decision to CMT and asks for feedback from other regulatory authorities, such as BEREC. The CMT further explains that the BEREC, which brings together Europe's telecom regulators, will study the proposal during the coming weeks and, even in the "worst case" in the share BEREC "doubts" on CMT, the Commission could only recommend the withdrawal or modification of the measure.
Thus, the agency explained that while the BEREC studies the project, the CMT will issue an "interim decision" setting prices and terms it once the 'glide path' today (April 16).
Only France and Belgium meet
In addition, CMT noted in the blog that the only countries that meet the conditions prices in the EC mark are France and Belgium. Also, the CMT has pointed out that the EC Recommendation applies to mobile termination as the fixed and fixed termination the vast majority of regulators have not yet submitted their proposals. "So at 31 December 2012 are expected very few regulators have fixed termination rates as recommended," he added.
