Ms Katherine Licken:

The deadline is an aspiration of the Commission but obviously the proposal has to go through the normal Council working group and on to the European Parliament. Council, and Parliament will also have its say in that regard. Of all of the proposals I have seen so far in the telecommunications area, this one has received the most attention. For our part, we had a lot of meetings and discussions very early on in this process. A lot of effort is going into this. One can expect intensive work to take place on the proposal, one way or the other.
