Wijziging van de Telecommunicatiewet in verband met de implementatie van Richtlijn (EU) 2018/1972 van het Europees Parlement en de Raad van 11 december 2018 tot vaststelling van het Europees wetboek van elektronische communicatie (Implementatie Telecomcode)

This Dutch bill amends the Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet) to transpose Directive (EU) 2018/1972, which establishes the European Electronic Communications Code. The Code modernises EU telecoms rules, covering market regulation, consumer rights, spectrum management and the regulation of electronic communications services. The Netherlands must align its national law with these EU requirements. The changes mainly affect telecoms operators and internet and phone service providers operating in the Netherlands, as well as the national telecoms regulator. Consumers may also see changes to their rights when contracting communications services, though the exact effects depend on the final text of the bill.
