COMMUNITY ACQUIS & Slovakia
The October 1999 and November 2000 reports
noted the progress made in research and technological development. Progress has
also been made in telecommunications.
The objective of Community
telecommunications policy is to eliminate obstacles 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. These objectives
must be achieved by harmonising standards and conditions for the provision of
services, liberalising the terminal equipment, services and networks markets
and adopting the necessary regulatory measures.
