COMMUNITY ACQUIS and Cyprus

 

 

No national measures need to be adopted for transposition of the acquis in the research field.  Cyprus has been participating since May 1999 in the Community's Fifth Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities.

The objective of Community telecommunications policy is to remove barriers to the efficient operation of the Internal Market in equipment, services and telecommunications networks, to open foreign markets to Community enterprises and to make modern services available to citizens and enterprises in the European Union.

Regarding postal services, the above-mentioned Telecommunications and Postal Services Regulation Act liberalised licensing and provided for universal service. As regards the regulatory framework, the Telecommunications and Postal Services Regulation Act of 2002 was adopted in March 2002, and the Radio Communications Act in July 2002.
