    EUROPE Trends: Liberalisation is moving ahead again in Europe with a French government decision to grant access right to private networks and further privatisation steps in Italy, Portugal and Sp ain. On the market side, important new ventures are in the making, whether trans-European or trans-Atlantic, both in the telecoms (CGE-RWE) and audiovisual markets (Canal Plus UFA-Solomon, RAI-France Télévision and RAI-BBC). Meanwhile, a multimedia alliance between Bell Atlantic and STET is on the eve of collapsing because of growing alliance incompatibilities between the two partners. LEGISLATION AND POLICY The European Commission has warned Global European Network (GEN), a joint venture of nine European telecoms operators specialising in data transmission, that its approval of the venture will depend on whether it charges clients fair prices. The Commission is concerned that GEN could charge independent data suppliers five to ten times more than the nine operators that have a share in it. Hence, GEN, who comprises BT and the Belgian, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swiss national telecoms operators, could abuse its dominant position to prevent competitors from entering the lucrative European data transmission market. The French national telecoms operator France Télécom has called on the new French right-wing government to quickly carry out a partial privatisation of its capital in order to seal its alliance with the German national telecoms operator Deutsche Telekom. The two partners intend to swap 20% of their capital. The French government has authorised the French national railway company SNCF to lease transmission capacity on its private network to mobile phone operators.
