  • 欧洲共同市场行政体系变更了欧洲电子通信准则,但电信贸易协会GSMA认为这一做法并没有什么作用。

    出于某种原因,看了欧盟新闻稿,其称“欧洲议会和理事会昨天深夜达成了一项政治协议,即变更欧盟电信规则。”他们显然希望每个人都知道他们有多努力工作,而不是知道曾出现过什么问题。

    “这项协议对于满足欧洲人日益增长的连接需求和提升欧洲竞争力至关重要,”干劲十足的安德鲁斯•安西普对此表示,其是负责数字单一市场的副总裁,“我们正在为整个欧洲部署5G做基础性工作。”

    “新的电信规则是未来欧洲数字化的重要组成部分,”数字经济与社会专员玛丽娅•加布里埃尔表示。 “经过几个月的艰难谈判,我们就开拓均衡的规则达成了一致意见,以便更快地获得无线电频谱、更好地服务和保护消费者,以及更多地投资高速网络。”

    以下是他们在凌晨的几个小时里努力研究的结果,只有波尔多的老酒才能提振他们的精神:

    •确保5G频谱的可用性

    • 发展高容量固定网络

    •制定更多法规以“造福保护消费者”

    但是GSMA似乎对这种艰巨的努力并不认同。 “从过去的事实中可以看到,欧洲有能力克服困难的决定,确保欧盟市场更稳固、可扩展。”GSMA欧洲区副总裁兼负责人阿夫克•夏特表示。“我们感到失望的是,对于公民和5G行业而言,这一重要机遇并未完全抓住,而且我们强烈认为,欧洲想要提高全球数字竞争力,就需要达成更好的协议。

    以下是夏特在欧洲举措中指出的漏洞:

    •仍然存在太多的投资不确定性

    •成员国之间没有足够的频谱协调性

    •一般来说,由于新的零售价格的限制使电信公司的诸多监管变糟

    这些内容都似曾相识。多年来,贸易机构和个体公司一直在呼吁欧盟对欧洲电信业提供更多帮助,但欧盟似乎更关注消费者的道德信号(道德信号:以某种言论显示自己站在道义一方。)。我们确实对GSMA的立场表示认可,因为世界其他地区正在赋予其电信公司更多权力,而欧洲却在限制自身发展。

    • ASA ramped up its call for approval of three outstanding soybean traits by the European Union this week, saying that the tools are a critical part of the industry’s ongoing quest to meet sustainability and consumer demand goals, and that continued delays pose serious issues both for farmers and industry. In a letter to European Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis Tuesday, ASA expressed deep concern with the EU’s delayed authorization of three new soybean traits: Monsanto’s dicamba-tolerant RR2Xtend and Vistive Gold high oleic traits, as well as Bayer CropScience’s isoxaflutole-resistant Balance Bean trait. All three traits received positive opinions from the European Food Safety Authority in May and June of last year, and have awaited approval for five months following an Appeals Committee ruling in January. “The Commission’s lack of action in providing final authorization for these soy events has already caused unnecessary uncertainty, disruption and cost in the agricultural supply chain. Immediate authorization by the European Commission is needed to avoid substantial additional unnecessary costs and possible disruption to the essential supply of feedstocks needed by the EU’s livestock, poultry and feed industries, which are more than 70 percent dependent on imports of vegetable protein,” the letter stated. ASA also cited repeated assurances over the course of several months from EU officials that approval of the three traits was imminent as providing a false sense of security for farmers looking to utilize the traits to meet sustainability goals and comply with the food industry’s ongoing move away from trans fats in the American marketplace. “As the threat of resistant weeds continues to move across soybean country, and the specter of increased input costs coupled with a down farm economy looms over so many soybean farmers, we need more options in the marketplace. We are not benefited by new products that are stuck in a malfunctioning approvals pipeline,” said ASA President Richard Wilkins, a farmer from Greenwood, Del. “Add to that the ability of high-oleic soy to help answer the growing market for cooking oils free of trans fats, and you see the real value in these three traits. “The European Commission must abide by the timelines set out in in its own regulations, as well as its obligations under the World Trade Organization, and give these traits the approvals that it has said are forthcoming,” Wilkins added.
