". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the 10th report on the regulation of the electronic communications markets is a very important document for the sector because it provides an objective and in-depth analysis of market trends, both with regard to technological and economic developments in the sector and with regard to measures aimed at promoting competition. I wish to extend my sincere thanks for the excellent work done by Mrs Toia, with whom I agree that the information and communications technology sector is enormously relevant both for the Community economy and for individual countries, given the notable contribution it makes to employment growth and the development of new technologies to improve and speed up communications. European legislation is required to regulate the relationship between producer and user and to guarantee that digital technology is available to all, that governments invest more in infrastructure and, above all, that free and fair competition is maintained, thus ensuring better quality services at more and more favourable prices. The report addresses five thematic areas. First: the improvement of international roaming services, with a reduction in tariffs and greater transparency in billing and the drawing up of contracts. Second: the establishment of a clear framework to regulate the institutional relationship between the European Commission and the European Regulators Group, to increase the responsibility and involvement of national authorities – thereby restoring competitiveness – and to provide greater incentives for investment, especially in the new emerging markets. Third: an increase in the number of power lines so that broadband connection is available to all, without territorial limits and in the shortest time possible. Fourth: the protection of user health, as argued by the rapporteur for the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, who fully supports the rapporteur, Mrs Toia, hoping that the European Parliament will accept the recommendations in her report. Finally I wish to congratulate Mr Reading on the work he is and will be doing in his report on research, which has the full support of the PPE-DE."@en1
