Key topics of discussion

Participants will discuss the key competitive dynamics and entry barriers in the industry, and how competition policy and sector regulation may tackle such barriers. Furthermore, they will analyse the degree of coherence of the new EU regulatory framework, and how this framework may be enforced in the future in parallel with EU competition rules.
