EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

I. INTRODUCTION

The Telecommunications Council of December 1989 decided that the Community's

telecommunications policy should combine in a balanced way harmonization and

liberalisation. Consequently, on June 28, 1990 the Council of Ministers for Telecommunications

adopted

a Directive on

the establishment of

the

internal market

for

telecommunications services through the implementation of open network provision

(ONP) and the Commission adopted a Directive on competition in the markets for

telecommunication services. The first Directive (known as the ONP framework Directive), considers the area of

packet switched data services (PSDSs) as a priority. The Directive received broad

support in the European Parliament and in the Economic and Social Committee. The

Directive asks for the implementation of harmonized technical interfaces and/or

service features for PSDSs and in this respect the Commission published in the

Official JournaP on the 29. 12. 90 the list of packet switched public data networks

standards suitable for ONP. The Directive also foresees as a priority the adoption of a

Council Recommendation on the harmonised provision of a minimum set of Packet

Switched Data Services

in accordance with Open Network Provision

(ONP)

principles. It is in this context that the Commission presents this proposal for a Recommendation

to the Council of Ministers. II. T HE ROLE OF PACKET SWITCHED PUBLIC DATA NETWORKS IN T HE

The

introduction of these national networks followed different timetables and

different commercial priorities however, and hence

the availability of a

fully

harmonised and up to date international service was held up. From an industrial and manufacturing point of view it was only after 1976 that the set

of packet switched associated standards reached a mature enough stage to allow the

development and marketing of commercially exploitable packet switching public

systems, although

the

first packet switched public data networks were not

commercially available before 1978/1979^. Administrations began to plan for, and implement national packet switched services

against a range of target dates, and some administrations were therefore working with

more mature CCITT recommendations than those that had launched public services

earlier. By 1984, when the new and revised CCITT recommendations (Red Book) became

available, most European countries already had their packet switched public data

networks up and running on the basis of different

implementations of the 1980

versions of CCITT

recommendations, and

the

first

international

gateway

interconnections between networks had been established, based on bilateral

arrangements without any administrative or management functions, for the provision

of transborder services at European level. All these factors led to national variations of the basic service, which has made full

international interworking difficult to achieve. The market for networks and services has clearly became application driven on an

European scale, and incompatible products and services, as well as internal skills

shortages are seen by the users as major constraints on data communications networks

development over the next years. The development and availability of international value added services to support the

applications required by the users is largely dependent on PSDSs because without

such an adequate transeuropean transport service, higher layer value added services

will be difficult to offer to users on a Community wide scale. Such services will flourish if, and only if, a high quality, reasonable priced, ubiquitous

transport service is available. Existing packet switched public data networks have developed into a major transport

media for the operation of value-added-services throughout the Community. Suitably

expanded and enhanced to adhere to European standards, they offer the most suitable

mechanism to meet the tight deadlines imposed by the 1992 Single Market goal on the

availability of value added services necessary to support European wide industry,

trade and administration. III. THE CONSULTATIVE PROCESS

The concept of ONP conditions for open provision of packet switched public data

networks was

introduced by the Commission

in the Communication on

the

Implementation of the Green PapeA In its Council Resolution of 30 June 1988 the

Council urged for the "rapid definition" of ONP conditions for public data networks. Since the Commission deemed it necessary that the analytical work on public data

networks was taken up as soon as possible the Commission started to analyse the

subject in parallel with its work on the ONP framework Directive. Preparatory work

on the application of ONP principles

to public data networks was

therefore

undertaken by the SOG-T (Senior Officials Group - Telecommunications) and its sub

group GAP (Groupe d'Analyse et de Prévision) as early as 1989. In the spirit of the then pending framework Directive, the SOG-T arranged for the

participation of

representatives of European

industrial

organizations,

trade

associations, service providers, telecommunications users, and telecommunications in

general. To that end. public comments on the proposals^ of GAP were invited by

notice in the Official Journal dated 6 April 1990. UK1 two fora were organized in

March and October 1989 for public discussion of the proposals. Subsequently, a draft of the proposal for a recommendation was discussed with the

ONP Committee. The present proposal for a Council Recommendation takes into account the results of

a) the GAP analysis report, b) the comments received from interested parties in the

course of the public comment process, and c) the comments received from the ONP

Committee. At the same time it takes account of the general principles which have

been laid down in the Directives on competition in the market of telecommunications

services and in the ONP framework Directive. IV. THE APPROACH ADOPTED

The proposal implements a concept of harmonization in the areas of standards, usage

conditions, supply conditions and tariff principles. The proposed Recommendation refers in its recitals to some of the general principles

resulting from Community law. The operative part then specifies in detail how a

minimum set of PSDSs should be provided in a harmonised way in accordance with

Open Network Provision principles. The points of the Recommendation are briefly explained hereunder :

Provision of a minimum set of PSDSs

Point 1 defines a minimum harmonised set of PSDSs with harmonised

technical

characteristics which must be made available throughout the Community. The point

also sets a timetable for the provision of these services, where not available. For this

minimum set, reference is made to the list of packet switched public data networks
standards suitable for ONP published in the Official J o u r n a l0 (see table 1). Point 2 provides for the mechanism to update this set which is described in Annex II

on the basis of changes in market demand and in technology. Changes in Annex II can

be made by the Commission, in cooperation with the ONP-Ounmittce. Such changes

Pursuant to Article 5 (1) of Directive 90/387/EEC (') the Commission publishes a list of
standards which constitutes a basis for harmonized access ' and/or service features in the
context of open network -provision. Given the fact that many of these standards are not yet finally adopted ('), changes may occur. As a consequence these standards are now being published as an indicative list. Therefore this
list may be amended by further publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities

Disclosure of information

Point 3 establishes the format in which the information is to be published in order to

comply with the requirement that ONP conditions must be transparent and published

in an appropriate manner. Supply Conditions

The supply conditions for PSDSs are addressed in Point 4. It requires organizations to

use a set of general supply conditions which contains at least a number of parameters

which are of vital importance to users, e. g. the delivery period for a type of PSDS, the

duration of the contractual period and the repair time. It also refers to the refund

policy and the network performance targets. Common ordering, hilling and maintenance procedures

Point 5 expresses the requirement of users to be able to order PSDSs in a common

fashion, and where requested, to be able to communicate with a single organization

for ordering, billing and maintenance purposes. Through the implementation of a "green number" arrangement at a Community level

it allows, on the one hand, for the establishment of permanent arrangements for

reverse charging capabilities allowing Community wide service providers to bill their

customers in a global bill. The "kiosk type arrangement" allows, on the other hand, for

the possibility of a combined collection, in a global bill, of the cost of the value-added

service and of the cost of the call, by the organisation supplying PSDSs, thus

facilitating the provision of value-added services across the Community, specially by

small and medium size service providers. Quality of Service

Points 6 and 7 refer to quality of service and ask for the adoption of common

indicators

for

the network performance aspects of quality of service, and

corresponding measurements methods. Both are indicated in Annex III. - 8 -

Tariffing Principles

Points 8 and 9 refer to the basic principle of application independence which is to be

applied for tariffs of PSDSs and identifies separate tariff elements which will normally

be contained in the tariffs. Notification

Points 10 and 11 deal with the information which the national regulatory authority has

to provide to enable the Commission

to monitor the

implementation of

this

Recommendation, notably which organizations will conform with the provisions of the

Recommendation. User Support

Point 12 refers to a procedure for user support if difficulties are encountered in

relation to the objectives of this Recommendation, in particular in connection with the

provisions on the general supply conditions and quality of service. Progress of work

Point 13 recommends that the Commission examines the progress of work in

implementing the Recommendations in consultation with the ONP Committee. CONCLUSIONS

Directive 387/90/l:I::C calls in its Annex 111. 3 for the adoption by the Council by 1

July 1991, acting on a proposal from the Commission, of a recommendation on the

supply of technical interfaces, conditions of usage and tariff principles applying to

provision of packet switched data services complying with open network principles; at

the same time this recommendation would in particular call on Member States to

ensure at least one such service was provided on their territory. The present Commission proposal for a Council Recommendation on the harmonised

provision of a minimum set of Packet Switched Data Services in accordance with

Open Network Provision (ONP) principles takes account of the. harmonized general

principles laid down in the. ONP Iraniewoik Diiective and specifics which services

- 9

-

should be provided in all Member States in a harmonized way. It is flexible and open

for future adaptation in line with market demand and technology progress. Thus, the

proposal significantly

improves

the competitive conditions

in

the European

telecommunications market. The Council

is

therefore

requested

to adopt

the attached proposal

for a

Recommendation. - 10 -

the provision of a minimum set of PSDSs with

harmonised technical characteristics in accordance with Annex I, taking account of

market demand. 2. That the Commi. ssion determine

the modifications necessary to adapt Annex I to new

technical developments and to changes in market demand in accordance with Article 9

of Directive 9 0 / 3 8 7 / E E C. 3. That Member States ensure that information in respect of the PSDSs provided in

accordance with point 1 on technical characteristics, general supply conditions, usage

conditions, tariffs and the conditions for the attachment of terminal equipment is

published in accordance with the presentation given in Annex II. 4. That the general supply conditions referred to in point 3 include at least:

-

the typical delivery periods, which are the periods, counted from the date from

which the user makes a firm request for the service in question, in which 80 percent

of the demands for the PSDSs has been put through to the users. Each period shallbeestablished on the basis of the actual delivery periods of the

PSDSs in question during a recent

time

interval of reasonable duration. The

calculation must not include cases where late delivery periods were requested bv

users. For new type's of PSDSs a target deliverv period shall be published instead of

the typical delivei y pei iod;

-

the contractual pei iods. which include the peiiods which are in general l a id down

for the contracts and the minimum contractual periods which the user is obliged to

accept for the PSDSs;

PSDSs a target repair time period shall be published instead of the typical repair

time. Where different classes of quality of repair are offered for the same PSDS,

the different typical repair times shall be published. the refund policy,

promote the establishment, in conformity with the procedural and substantive rules of

the Treaty and in consultation with users, of harmonised procedures for user access

the PSDSs, in particular via the establishment of the following procedures:

- a common ordering procedure, i. e. an ordering procedure for the procurement of

intra-community PSDSs which ensures that there is commonality across the

organizations supplying PSDSs in the information that has to be supplied by the

user and the organization supplying PSDSs, and in the format

in which the

information is presented;

- a one stop ordering procedure, i. e. a system whereby all transactions involving a

user, required for the procurement of intra-community PSDSs supplied by more

than one organization, can be completed between the user and a single organization

supplying PSDSs;

- a one-stop-billing procedure, i. e. a system whereby the payment transaction for

intracommunity PSDSs supplied by more than one organization to a single user can

be completed at one location between the user and a single: organization supplying

PSDSs, and

be done at one location between the user and a single organization supplying

PSDSs, which will take full responsibility for restoration of service. These procedures should include the establishment of Community - wide service

arrangements allowing for:

- a capability where the called party pays for the calls (Green Number);

- a capability where the cost of the value-added service and the cost of the call are

combined in a single bill collected by the organisation supplying PSDSs (Kiosk type

arrangements). These procedures are to be promoted through market mechanisms, e. g. through a

Memorandum of Understanding open to all organisations supplying PSDSs in

are used. - 17 -

9. That the tariffs for PSDSs normally contain the following elements :

-an initial Charge,

-a periodic Rental Charge,

-a usage charge, including normally a fixed per call charge based either on a

charge based on the use of an integral number of segments0 , and a duration
related charge based on an interval of time sufficiently short to avoid discrimination

against short type transactions. Where other tariff elements are applied, these must be transparent and based on

objective criteria. 10. That the national regulatory authorities notify the Commission before 31 December

1991 of the organizations which provide PSDSs in accordance with

this Recommendation, and thereafter of any changes to this information. 11. That the national regulatory authorities ensure the availability of summary reports in

particular with regard to the availability of PSDSs provided in accordance with point

1, the implementation of the general supply conditions under points 3 and 4 and the

reports under point 7 at least for each calendar year and that the summary reports be

sent to the Commission no later than 3 months after the end of the annual reporting

period. 12. That the national regulatory authority ensure the establishment of an ea. sy procedure

ANNEX I

DEFINITION OF A COMMUNITY WIDE MINIMUM SET OF PACKET SWITCHED

DATA SERVICES WITH HARMONISED TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN

ACCORDANCE WITH POINT 1 AND TIMETABLE FOR THEIR AVAILABILITY

A GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

The Recommendation aims at the harmonised provision of a minimum set of PSDSs

in accordance with Open Network Provision principles to users in order to facilitate

the development of European wide services. These services should:

i)be made available on an adequately unbundled basis in order to give users maximum

flexibility. ii)be structured in the following way (on a service basis):

ONP Core Offering

- access/ feature set(s) which must be offered by all networks;

- user selects (one) set in order to have the basic service

- set to be tariffed as a bundle. ONP User Options

- feature offered by all networks on an individual basis:

- feature which may be selected by user;

- may in specific cases substitute Core offerings features. iii)take into account technological development and the growth in availability of

features not considered in the proposed service. - 20

INDICATORS FOR THE NETWORK PERFORMANCE ASPECTS OF THE QUALITY

OF SERVICE OF PSDSs

Common indicators for the network performance aspects of the quality of service of

PSDSs and common measurement methods should be adopted in order to allow for

the determination of a representative sample of the performance of user's direct

access to the PSDSs as well as the end-to-end statistical performance achieved by the

network as a whole. Such indicators for the network performance a. spects of the quality of service of

PSDSs and measurement methods should be based on the ongoing work in CEPT, and
notably on Recommendations T/CAC 23, T/CAC 3 A, T/CAC 45. For each of the above performance criteria, indicators should be chosen which are

representative of the service:

Availability

Unsuccessful Network Congestion (NC) calls ratio (UNCR),

Service availability,

Dependability

Mean time between NC disconnections (MTNC),

In the interests of improving the control of fishing activities in its

Regulatory Area the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) has

adopted a proposal for the introduction of a control measure making it a

requirement for fishing vessels of Contracting Parties to communicate to their

competent authorities their entry into and exit from the NAFO Regulatory Area

as well as any movements between divisions. The competent authorities of Contracting Parties are required to transmit the

information, which they receive from their fishing vessels, to the Executive

Secretary of NAFO and other Contracting Parties with an inspection presence in

the Regulatory Area. This control measure is commonly referred to as a "hail

system". The purpose of this proposed regulation is to apply the "hail system" in the

Explanatory memorandum

Since 1974 the Statistical Office of the European Communities, in
cooperation with the national statistical offices of the Member
countries, has conducted regular surveys of the earnings of workers in
agriculture. In 1982, the Council decided by Directive 82/606/EEC*1)
that the surveys would be conducted every two years. Experience gained from the 1984, 1986 and 1988 surveys conducted under
that Directive has shown that a periodicity of two years is not the
most appropriate for the characteristics of the survey. By nature this survey is a source of medium-term statistics designed to
provide the Commission at regular Intervals with the fullest possible
Information on the earnings of workers In agriculture. The periodicity
initially planned now appears excessively short In relation to the
complexity of the survey, which demands a relatively substantial amount
of work. In order to balance the requirements of reducing the workload and
making information available, the Eurostat Working Party on Statistics
on Earnings In Agriculture has decided that a periodicity of three
years would be more In keeping with the characteristics of the survey. The immediate effect of the new periodicity would be to postpone until
1991 the survey to be carried out In 1990, and then to undertake the
survey every three years. (1) OJ No L 247 of 23. 8. 1982, p. 22. COUNCIL DIRECTIVE

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Directive 82/606/EEC^) lays down that the Member states shall
carry out during 1990 a survey on the earnings of permanent and
seasonal workers employed in agriculture;

Whereas the experience gained from the 1984» 1986 and 1988 surveys
shows that the periodicity of the surveys laid down In the said
Directive is not the most appropriate»
