This information must be limited to what is necessary for the identification of the provider, such as company registration numbers, and the provider's contact persons, the provider's address, a short description of the network or service, and an estimated date for starting the activity.

Those aims can be best achieved by general authorisation of all electronic communications networks and services without requiring any explicit decision or administrative act by the national regulatory authority and by limiting any procedural requirements to notification only.

For environmental reasons and because of the limited capacity of the road network, the expected considerable growth in transit tonnage can no longer be borne by the road network.

Earlier OLDI links were based on proprietary protocols such as INTERCAUTRA or Datenübertragungsund Verteilungssystem (DÜV), which run over dedicated point-to-point circuits or limited networks, and require the use of specialised hardware and software.

The requirement is limited to a single narrowband network connection, the provision of which may be restricted by Member States to the end-user's primary location/residence, and does not extend to the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) which provides two or more connections capable of being used simultaneously.

Whereas Liechtenstein and its national regulatory authority shall make all reasonable endeavours to apply the provisions of this Directive, the assessment of their compliance shall take due account of the specific situation of Liechtenstein and the particular circumstances of its very small telecommunications network, its market structure, its limited number of customers, its market potential and the possibility of market failure.

whereas the supply of risk capital for trans-European networks, particularly during their early stages, is limited;

This Directive is confined to ballasts for fluorescent lighting, supplied by mains electricity,

To overcome the limited current competition in the local access network referred to above, three means of access to the local loop are considered:

It identifies actions that Member States are invited to take to address limited competition in the local access network where the incumbent continues to dominate both the provision of voice telephony and the development of higher bandwidth services.

Processing of location data other than traffic data in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 must be restricted to persons acting under the authority of the provider of the public communications network or publicly available communications service or of the third party providing the value added service, and must be restricted to what is necessary for the purposes of providing the value added service.

The procedure for identifying projects relating to trans-European energy networks should be adapted by means of action at two levels: a first level identifying a restricted number of thematically defined projects of common interest, and a second level describing projects in detail, referred to as specifications.

A refusal from an incumbent to give access to competitors on its local loop is thus likely to eliminate the possibility for new entrants to compete at all on the nationwide market(10) for the three identified services, and they would be limited to regional and local markets where they succeed in building alternative networks.

The bottleneck situation experienced so far for the provision of access and local calls services and now for the provision of high-speed services does not prevent new entrants from developing local networks, at a more limited level, such as in densely populated urban areas, but with these networks they are normally unable to compete nationwide on an equal footing with incumbents, providing the same whole range of services (see below).
