Preliminary Schedule for the BEREC and Contact Network meetings in 2015

According to Article 4 (6) of the BEREC Regulation the Board of Regulators shall meet at least four times a year in ordinary session, which shall be convened by its Chair. The ordinary meetings of the Board of Regulators are prepared by a specific type of Expert Working Group, called “Contact Network”, which is composed of senior representatives of all Members, chaired by a representative of the Chair of the Board of Regulators.

The Rules of Procedure of the Board of Regulators also state that any BEREC member may host a meeting of the Board of Regulators. This provision is applied by analogy for the meetings of the Contact Network. The final decision about the meeting dates and the meeting host is entrusted to the BEREC Chair. In that respect, following a call for expression of interest for hosting BEREC meetings in 2015, the Incoming BEREC Chair, Fátima BARROS – President of the Board of ANACOM (Portugal), has approved the preliminary schedule for the ordinary BEREC and Contact Network in 2015.

The BEREC and Contact Network meeting are open for participation only to BEREC members and observers. However, with a view to incising transparency, after each plenary meeting BEREC will organise a public meeting in order to present the outcome of the meetings.

The full schedule of the 2015 meetings will be made available through the event section of the BEREC website at a later stage.
