,
the second half of 2025 will be decisive for the future of the European telecommunications sector. With the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU officially underway and the European Commission preparing key initiatives—including the Digital Networks Act and the evaluation of the European Electronic Communications Code – the foundations are being laid for the next phase of EU telecom regulation.
Against this backdrop, VATM and ecta are pleased to invite you to a high-level strategic discussion on the future direction of Europe's telecom framework. Taking place just days after the close of the Call for Evidence on the Digital Networks Act, and ahead of the Commission's legislative proposal, the event provides a timely and vital platform for dialogue between policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders.
How can we ensure that competitiveness, competition, and connectivity act as mutually reinforcing pillars of a resilient and dynamic Single Telecom Market? What role should regulatory reform play in unlocking investment, enabling innovation, and preserving provider diversity across Member States?
Join us as we explore how regulatory evolution, market diversity, and targeted investment can work together to shape the next era of European telecom policy.
ecta and VATM kindly invite you to the event:

on Tuesday,15 July, starting at 17.00 h
