Research for REGI Committee - Digital agenda and cohesion policy
This study provides a critical analysis of the contribution of Cohesion Policy and the European Structural Investment Funds to the Digital Agenda for Europe and the Digital Single Market. Based on the analysis of past and current patterns of ESIF digital investments and selected case studies, this study shows that Cohesion Policy should concentrate where its added value is highest, i.e., on support to the formulation of effective regional digital strategies and on the promotion of partnerships between ...
La Commission européenne a lancé une initiative visant à offrir le libre accès à l’internet rapide dans les collectivités locales. Le Parlement européen doit discuter de cette initiative et procéder à son vote lors de sa session plénière de septembre.
EU strategy on cooperative intelligent transport systems
Digital technologies, and systems based on them, are being rapidly introduced in transport all over the world. Cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) in road transport are part of this development, and one element in a wider drive towards vehicle automation. These systems use technologies allowing road vehicles to communicate with other vehicles or road users and roadside infrastructure. By increasing the quality and reliability of information, C-ITS can improve road safety and traffic ...
Dix autres technologies qui pourraient changer nos vies
En 2015, la direction générale des services de recherche parlementaire du Parlement européen (DG EPRS) a ouvert la voie à l’innovation par l’intermédiaire de sa publication intitulée «Dix technologies qui pourraient changer nos vies: impacts potentiels et conséquences des politiques», dont chaque chapitre met en avant une technologie particulière, ses promesses et ses possibles conséquences négatives, ainsi que le rôle que le Parlement européen pourrait et devrait jouer dans l’orientation de ces ...
New radio frequencies for mobile internet services
While radio spectrum management is predominantly a national competence, EU policy plays an increasingly important role in its coordination and harmonisation. The EU actively seeks ways to harmonise use of the different bands of the spectrum to meet the ever-growing demand for wireless mobile broadband. Nevertheless, spectrum allocation in the EU remains fragmented and varies among Member States. Following developments in the international framework, as well as the considerations of high-level expert ...
Internet pour la croissance, la compétitivité et la cohésion : société européenne du gigabit et 5G
En réponse à la communication de la Commission sur la société européenne du gigabit, la commission de l’industrie, de la recherche et de l’énergie (ITRE) du Parlement européen a adopté un rapport d’initiative, qui devrait être examiné en plénière en mai. Dans ce rapport, l’Union européenne est invitée à jouer un rôle de premier plan sur la scène mondiale dans le domaine de la 5G, la prochaine génération de communications sans fil. Attendue pour 2020, la 5G devrait ouvrir la voie à un éventail de ...
Optimal Regulatory Model for Telecommunications Services in the EU
This report reviews the market trends for the development of digital networks and applications for 2020 and beyond and, on that basis, proposes a framework for an optimal regulation for telecommunications services in the European Union. Against that framework, the report then critically assesses the draft European Electronic Communications Code proposed by the Commission in September 2016. We submit that the Commission’s proposal goes in the right direction but in not ambitious enough to protect ...
Le code des communications électroniques européen et l’Organe des régulateurs européens des communications électroniques (ORECE)
Dans l’ensemble, l’AI donne une explication complète et bien documentée des faits sur lesquels s’appuient les propositions législatives. Cependant, en raison de la nature des propositions (l’une d’elles étant une refonte des quatre directives existantes), il a été difficile de garder le rapport concis et lisible. L’AI dépasse clairement la longueur recommandée dans les lignes directrices pour une meilleure réglementation. Le rapport présente correctement les avis des parties prenantes, bien que la ...

Remote tower services, where aircraft at an airport are remote-controlled from a separate location, have been introduced to some airports and are being tested at several others. By reviewing the current and emerging technologies, considering some of the risks associated with these technologies and evaluating the contribution of the NextGen and SESAR programmes, this paper aims to assess the feasibility of also providing “remote” en-route Air Traffic Services in Europe.
