Access to Emergency Services
The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) should establish and maintain a single Union wide database of means of access to emergency services that are mandated and are technically feasible to be used by roaming end users in all Member States. Such a database would help national operators, national regulatory authorities and, where applicable, other competent authorities to be informed of all the means of access to emergency services deployed within the Union.
