On 10 December 2012 the European Commission informed the Polish National Regulatory Authority, UKE, and BEREC about its serious doubts considering that a draft measure concerning the market for wholesale broadband access market in 11 communes in Poland would create a barrier to the internal market.

Following its role and rules BEREC adopted its opinion, stating that the expressed serious doubts by the European Commission are justified. More specific information about the serious doubts of the European Commission and BEREC’s assessment can be found here.
