The BEREC Stakeholder Forum has been established with a view to providing a direct interactive platform for discussion between BEREC and its stakeholders. This platform supports the traditional consultation process taking place before the adoption of final versions of BEREC documents.

The list of organisations present at the 2nd BEREC Stakeholder meeting is provided below.

The focus of the meeting was strategic issues relevant to the medium and long term regulation of the electronic communications markets in Europe. The meeting also served as a public hearing on 4 key published BEREC documents which are currently undergoing consultation. The Meeting Agenda is presented in document BoR (14) 68 final.
