PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Telecommunications: EU Law (10 October 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether the Government plans to implement the European Electronic Communications Code in the event that it becomes EU law (a) before any transitional period, (b) during any transition period and (c) after the UK leaves the EU.

Asked by:
Darren Jones (Labour)

The European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) is still being negotiated within the EU. Trilogues have not yet even begun and therefore it is too early to say when the EECC will be adopted by the EU.

While the UK is still a ​Member ​State of the EU​, the UK will act in accordance with ​our rights and obligations associated with this.
