This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Broadband Cost Reduction Directive (BB CRD) of 2014 aims to reduce the costs of deploying high-speed broadband networks through facilitating shared use and coordinated deployment of physical infrastructure within the electronic communications sector and across other sectors such as energy, transport and water, streamlining permit granting procedures and facilitating access to end users' premises. In this study, we define a methodology and gather data to assess the current status of implementation of the Directive, its impact on market outcomes and progress made towards achieving its objectives since the date of application of the Directive in July 2016. We also identify best practice examples of access and co-deployment regimes as well as standards for in-building infrastructure, based on case studies and interviews. As little time has passed since the Directive's transposition, no firm conclusions can be drawn concerning the impact of the Directive on reducing the cost of broadband deployment or achieving more ambitious targets in line with the Gigabit society. However, evidence from countries which previously applied provisions similar to those in the BB CRD, indicate that cross-sectoral collaboration can enable significant cost reductions, supporting the more widespread deployment of very high capacity broadband. Achieving these benefits may however require a more pro-active approach of Member States to implementing the provisions of the BB CRD.

Download or read book Support Study Associated with the Review of the Broadband Cost Reduction Directive written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Broadband Cost Reduction Directive (BCRD) seeks to support the deployment of high speed broadband by reducing the costs and streamlining administrative procedures for the deployment of fixed and mobile communications networks. There is a need to review the Directive, because there have been a number of technological, market and policy developments since it entered into force in 2016. In this report, we provide an overview of how the BCRD has been applied across the EU, and evaluate each of the measures as well as the Directive as a whole. We conclude that, where it has been effectively applied, the BCRD has contributed to increased fixed and wireless high-speed broadband deployment amounting to at least 100,000km of additional network roll-out between 2016-2020, reducing the digital divide and delivering the associated benefits of economic growth, greater urban rural cohesion and the delivery of social care and education. However, although the overall benefits outweigh the associated costs, some provisions have been more intensively applied than others and outcomes are variable. There is thus considerable scope to refocus and improve the BCRD to better and more efficiently contribute to the Gigabit society goals, including deployment of wireless broadband such as 5G.

Download or read book Competitiveness and Private Sector Development Western Balkans Competitiveness Outlook 2024 Kosovo written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-26 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the six Western Balkan (WB6) economies depends on greater economic competitiveness. Although the gap is closing gradually, the standards of living in WB6 are well below those of the OECD and EU. Accelerating the rate of socio-economic convergence will require a holistic and growth oriented approach to policy making. This is the fourth study of the region (formerly under the title 'Competitiveness in South East Europe') and it comprehensively assesses policy reforms in the WB6 economies across 15 policy areas key to strengthening their competitiveness. It enables WB6 economies to compare economic performance against regional peers, as well as EU-OECD good practices and standards, and to design future policies based on rich evidence and actionable policy recommendations. The regional profile presents assessment findings across five policy clusters crucial to accelerating socio-economic convergence of the WB6 by fostering regional co-operation: business environment, skills, infrastructure and connectivity, digital transformation and greening. Economy-specific profiles complement the regional assessment, offering each WB6 economy an in-depth analysis of their policies supporting competitiveness. They also track the implementation of the previous 2021 study's recommendations and provide additional ones tailored to the economies’ evolving challenges. These recommendations aim to inform structural economic reforms and facilitate the region’s socio-economic convergence towards the standards of the EU and OECD.

Download or read book Brexit and the Digital Single Market written by Alison Harcourt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Digital Single Market (DSM) comprised numerous Directives, Regulations, and other instruments aimed at facilitating cross-border digital services, including access to banking, shopping, streaming, and satellite television across European Union borders without restrictions. With one-fifth of service exports stemming from the digital sector, the DSM was vital for the UK, with the EU representing its largest digital services export market. Brexit and the Digital Single Market examines the important historical role of the UK in DSM development, the consequences of Brexit for the UK's digital sector, and future EU and UK policy trajectories. The book illuminates how the UK continues to innovate in the digital sector but also how it is constrained by external factors both at EU and global levels. It considers how EU policy is taking a new direction in its 2020 Digital Strategy programme which leans towards greater protection of European champions and digital sovereignty, a tightening of its data protection regime, and greater regulatory intervention in digital markets. Timely and unprecedented, Brexit and the Digital Single Market is the first volume to comprehensively cover the implications of Brexit on the EU's DSM. This is an essential read for students and academics in political science and law, as well as civil servants, regulators, and policy makers working within the digital sector.

Download or read book National Constitutions in European and Global Governance Democracy Rights the Rule of Law written by Anneli Albi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 1522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume book, published open access, brings together leading scholars of constitutional law from twenty-nine European countries to revisit the role of national constitutions at a time when decision-making has increasingly shifted to the European and transnational level. It offers important insights into three areas. First, it explores how constitutions reflect the transfer of powers from domestic to European and global institutions. Secondly, it revisits substantive constitutional values, such as the protection of constitutional rights, the rule of law, democratic participation and constitutional review, along with constitutional court judgments that tackle the protection of these rights and values in the transnational context, e.g. with regard to the Data Retention Directive, the European Arrest Warrant, the ESM Treaty, and EU and IMF austerity measures. The responsiveness of the ECJ regarding the above rights and values, along with the standard of protection, is also assessed. Thirdly, challenges in the context of global governance in relation to judicial review, democratic control and accountability are examined. On a broader level, the contributors were also invited to reflect on what has increasingly been described as the erosion or ‘twilight’ of constitutionalism, or a shift to a thin version of the rule of law, democracy and judicial review in the context of Europeanisation and globalisation processes. The national reports are complemented by a separately published comparative study, which identifies a number of broader trends and challenges that are shared across several Member States and warrant wider discussion. The research for this publication and the comparative study were carried out within the framework of the ERC-funded project ‘The Role and Future of National Constitutions in European and Global Governance’. The book is aimed at scholars, researchers, judges and legal advisors working on the interface between national constitutional law and EU and transnational law. The extradition cases are also of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of criminal law. Anneli Albi is Professor of European Law at the University of Kent, United Kingdom. Samo Bardutzky is Assistant Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Download or read book The Principle of Subsidiarity and its Enforcement in the EU Legal Order written by Katarzyna Granat and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Katarzyna Granat analyses and evaluates Europe's experience with the Early Warning System (EWS) which allows national parliaments to review draft legislative acts of the European Union for their compatibility with the subsidiarity principle. The EWS was introduced in response to the perceived 'democratic deficit' of the EU and its 'creeping' competences, and represented one of the landmark reforms of the Lisbon Treaty. The purpose of this book is to present and critically analyse the functioning of the new mechanism of subsidiarity review and the role that national parliaments have played within this system. Compared to the existing leading publications on the Europeanisation of national parliaments and contributions on the EU principle of subsidiarity, this book offers – for the first time – a profound legal analysis of the procedure enriched by a comprehensive empirical analysis of the activities of national parliaments. It is directed at scholars of EU law and policy, European and national officials, and legal practitioners working in and with the national legislatures.
