COMMUNITY ACQUIS
and
Policies and programmes were
continuing to be developed in the field of the Information Society.
Overall progress since 1994 shows that Czech
telecommunications policy has developed in line with Community practice.
Research and Technological
Development activities at Community level, as provided for in Article 164 of
the EC Treaty (former Article 130G) and the Framework Programme (Article 166,
former Article 130I), are aimed at improving the competitiveness of European
industry and the quality of life, as well as supporting sustainable development
and contributing to the development of other Community policies.
The aim of Community
telecommunications policy is to remove barriers to the proper functioning of
the single market in equipment, services and telecommunications networks, to
open up foreign markets to Community companies and to make modern, accessible
services available to EU nationals and companies.
With regard to research and technological development, the present
Community acquis does not require
transposition into national law.
Alignment to the telecommunications acquis is moving forward.
