European Commission to further provide assistance to Eastern Partnership Electronic Communications Regulators Network

Chisinau, 6 November /MOLDPRES/ - The European Commission (EC) will continue providing technical assistance to the Eastern Partnership Electronic Communications Regulators Network (EaPeReg). The representative of the European Commission Directorate General for Communications Networks, Vassiliss Copanas, made statements to this effect at an yearly plenary meeting of the EaPeReg Group, held in Chisinau on 5 November. 

The event was organised with the support of EC and National Agency for Regulation in Electronic Communications and Information technology (ANRCETI). 

The EC official said that, during three years since the setting up of the group in Chisinau the autumn of 2012, the number of this organisation's members had grown significantly. This proves that the regulation authorities from more European states need such a platform of communication and experience exchange.   

The signing of a memorandum of understanding on the foundation and work of the EaPeReg Group by a delegation of Belarus at the plenary meeting, and the accession of the regulation authority from Macedonia to this organisation will help strengthen the capacities of cooperation of the regulation authorities from the EU member countries with the ones of the Eastern Partnership states, Vassiliss Copanas said.

A working group is to consider comments and proposals, due to come from the EaPeReg members next week, on an initiative by the Ukrainian delegation to create a common international roaming space within the Eastern Partnership countries.
