Market Analyses ECTA may comment on market analyses on own initiative if of pan-European significance Members highlight issues at the National level that require ECTA support ECTA provides support on specific Competition issues Transposition of the new Telecoms Framework If ECTA or ECTA Members identify a case of mis-transposition then ECTA may raise awareness of issue to the Commission - potentially leading to Commission infringement proceedings. ECTA undertakes meetings at National level ECTA may support visits/meetings to individual member states e.g. meetings with Ministry and National Regulator to raise awareness of particular problems Benchmarking exercises ECTA benchmarking exercises at national level allow members to use information to lobby and promote adoption of best practices. Early warning system ECTA alert members to EU regulatory decisions which may have damaging impact at National level.
