REGULATION (EU) No 283/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 11 March 2014
on guidelines for trans-European networks in the area of telecommunications infrastructure and repealing Decision No 1336/97/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 172 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinions of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinions of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),

Telecommunications networks and services are increasingly becoming internet-based infrastructures, with broadband networks and digital services closely interrelated. The internet is becoming the dominant platform for communication, services, education, participation in social and political life, cultural content, and business. Therefore, the trans-European availability of widespread, high-speed, secure internet access and digital services in the public interest is essential for social and economic growth, competitiveness, social inclusion and the internal market. |

On 17 June 2010, the European Council endorsed the Commission communication of 26 August 2010 on a Digital Agenda for Europe, which aims to chart a course to maximise the social and economic potential of information and communication technologies. It seeks to stimulate supply and demand of competitive high-speed internet infrastructure and internet-based digital services with a view to advancing towards a true Digital Single Market, which is essential for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. |

Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) determines the conditions, methods and procedures for providing Union financial assistance to trans-European networks in the sectors of transport, telecommunications and energy infrastructures. Given that there are similar challenges and opportunities in the sectors covered by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), there is significant scope for exploiting synergies, including by combining CEF funding with other sources of funding. |

A large number of cross-border digital services implementing exchanges between European public administrations in support of Union policies are a reality. When providing new solutions, it is important to capitalise on existing solutions implemented in the context of other European initiatives, avoid duplication of work, and ensure coordination and alignment of approaches and solutions across initiatives and policies, such as for instance the ISA programme established by Decision No 922/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), the Fiscalis programme established by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), and Horizon 2020 established by Regulation (EU) No 1291/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7). Similarly, it is important that solutions comply with agreed international and/or European standards or with open specifications for interoperability, particularly those identified by the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), and other relevant specifications and orientations, such as the European Interoperability Framework for European public services (EIF). |
