  • 71 BEREC Annual Reports 2014 2015-05-25
    BoR (15) 71 BEREC Annual Reports – 2014 – 4 June 2015 BoR (15) 71 Foreword by the BEREC Chair 2014 As BEREC Chair 2014, it is my honour to present the annual report on BEREC activities for the year 2014. This report is based on the 2014 work programme and describes the achievements of BEREC last year. Last year was once again a challenging and highly successful year for BEREC. Through the delivery of timely and high-quality opinions, driven by our expertise and practical experience, we have given expert advice to the European institutions on important legislative initiatives such as the Telecoms Single Market (TSM)1 initiative, and provided an expert opinion on the Commission Recommendation on Relevant Markets. BEREC has again shown that it is an important, neutral and objective expert advisor to legislators and has played an important role in these processes. In addition to this, BEREC has updated its Strategic Outlook, reorganised its working structure and increased engagement in stakeholder dialogue by organising a stakeholder forum, among other activities. Before proceeding to describe the activities of 2014 in the next chapters I would like to begin by pointing out some highlights from the year. Progress towards BEREC’s objectives BEREC delivered a wealth of results and moved towards achieving its objectives in three thematic areas related to promoting competition and investment, promoting the internal market, and empowering and protecting end users. These outputs include: • BEREC Opinion on the Commission Recommendation on Relevant Product and Service Markets Susceptible to ex ante Regulation; • BEREC views on the legislative initiative on the Telecoms Single Market (TSM), including a separate analysis of the impact of ‘Roam Like at Home’; • BEREC Common Position on geographic aspects of markets analysis; • BEREC report on monitoring quality of service in the context of net neutrality; • BEREC Guidance on the regulatory accounting approach to the economic replicability test.

    EU 6 th Framework Programme Project # LSSB-CT-2004-504776 THE IMPACT OF REACH The report of the CONAM / ecopa Chemical Policy Working Group March 2007 “Copyright 2007 by ecopa (the European Consensus Platform for 3R -alternatives), resp. covered under the regulations of the EU 6 th Framework Programme-Reprint and reference consent to be obtained by the editors”. Edition ecopa : Report 1, Brussels 2007. Participants/Contributors : Tonia Devolder , BE Vera Rogiers, BE Bernward Garthoff, DE Horst Spielmann,DE Karsten Müller, DE Simon Webb, UK Marleen Pauwels, BE Executive Summary About ecopa and CONAM ecopa is the European Consensus Platform on 3R-Alternatives. It is an international not-for- profit organisation, officially established in April 2004 according to Belgian law. ecopa is the only quadripartite umbrella organisation at the European level concerned with the development and implementation of 3R-alternative methods to animal experimentation. The parties involved are Academia, Industry, Animal Welfare and Governmental Institutes. ecopa is a success thanks to the creation of so-called National Consensus Platforms (NCPs) in the different European Member States. Actually, 13 full member NCPs (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom) and 3 associate members (NCPs under formation) exist (Ireland, Norway, and Poland). Recently, Norway and France officially finalised their consensus platform preparations. As ecopa believes in international networking, exchange of information and good science as a solid basis for alternatives development, the CONAM (Consensus Networking on Alternative Methods within Europe)-project was initiated under FP6 (Project nr. LSSB-CT- 2004-504776), coordinated by ecopa 's chair Prof.
