Early Call for Inputs on the BEREC Work Programme 2027
Deadline: Wednesday, 15 April 2026 (End of Business)
Background
BEREC serves as a forum for proactive debate and technical expertise, providing essential advice to the European Parliament, the Council, and the European Commission in the field of electronic communications and digital services. BEREC remains dedicated to the consistent and harmonised application of regulatory rules, enhancing working methods, and fostering effective engagement with all stakeholders.
In January 2026, BEREC adopted its Outline Work Programme 2027. This planning document is built upon the mandatory tasks defined by the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC), prioritising the consistent implementation of the regulatory framework across the Union.
In alignment with the BEREC Strategy 2026-2030, the BEREC Work Programme 2027 must be consistent with these five strategic pillars:
- Priority 1: Promoting full connectivity and the Digital Single Market.
- Priority 2: Supporting competition-driven and open digital ecosystems.
- Priority 3: Empowering end-users.
- Priority 4: Contributing to sustainable, secure, and resilient digital infrastructures.
- Priority 5: Strengthening BEREC’s capabilities and continuous improvement.
