"The legislative package put forward by Mr Hökmark is an important step towards strengthening the competitiveness of the European Union. I am pleased to note that besides economic crisis management, increasing attention is finally being paid to long-term competitiveness. According to the adopted proposal, freeing up the 800 MHz frequency band from 2013 will facilitate the creation of a pan-European telecommunications market and will provide the capacity for new services to be made available to users. Upon the request of the European Parliament the proposal foresees freeing up 1200 MHz to mobile data traffic by 2015. Frequency allocation falls within the scope of Member State competence, but determining the rules of spectrum management is the responsibility of the European Union. It is good news for consumers that the frequency bands freed up for broadband mobile Internet services contribute to the achievement of the 30 Mbps minimum target under the Digital Agenda by 2020, ensuring high download speeds even for citizens living in remote regions. Allow me to highlight the role of the Hungarian Presidency in the drafting of the proposal, as the political agreement on efficient frequency management was concluded during Hungary’s six-month term. With the successful closing of the dossier an increasingly large portion of society will be able to enjoy the benefits of the Internet, which will entail economic growth and the strengthening of Europe’s competitiveness."@en1
