Tels sont les principaux enseignements d'une mission d'information recente conduite par la Commission Europeenne, accompagnee de representants de l'industrie et de la CEPT, dont le but etait de s'informer directement de la "deregulation" du marche des telecommunications aux U.S.A., d'expliquer aux responsables politiques, industriels, aux operateurs de reseaux et aux utilisateurs americains la strategie d'ouverture du marche europeen des telecommunications, de mieux comprendre les difficultes rencontrees par les industries europeennes aux U.S.A. et de chercher des terrains d'entente et de cooperation dans ce secteur.
These are the main lessons to be drawn from a recent fact- finding mission undertaken by the European Commission with representatives of the industry and ECPT. Its aim was to get up to date on the status of US telecommunications deregulation, to explain to representatives of US administration and industry as well as to members of Congress and Senate and to both telecommunication network operators and users the strategy to open up the European telecommunications market. The mission also aimed at both getting a more thorough understanding of difficult access to the US market and identifying potential areas of cooperation.
