The European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) redefines the regulation of electronic communications in Europe. Member states have to transpose the EECC into national law by 21 December 2020, two years after entry into force. Research by Cullen International shows that most countries are still at an early stage.

Our new EECC Trackers provide comprehensive insight into the main changes. They follow in detail the steps taken by the European Commission and BEREC to ensure a proper implementation of the EECC.

Cullen International has developed new Trackers for the following aspects:

• very high capacity networks – definition and co-investment
• market analysis, symmetric access, SMP and non-SMP remedies
• spectrum and small-cell deployment
• the redefinition of electronic communications services
• end-user protection
• universal service – scope, affordability and funding
• governance and BEREC
