📋 Tender Overview
In April 2024, the European Union issued a regulation on measures to reduce the costs of introducing gigabit-level electronic communication networks. On September 11, 2024, the Ministry of Transport and Communications made a decision on the legislative project and begins the preparation of legal amendments.
The regulation on measures to reduce the costs of introducing gigabit-level electronic communication networks, i.e. the so-called gigabit infrastructure regulation, contains measures to facilitate joint use and construction, such as the establishment of a centralized information point and changes to the permit process. Through a centralized information point, for example, you could apply electronically for permits and installation rights for the construction of physical network infrastructure. In the legislative project, we implement the obligations of the EU regulation by changing the law on joint construction and use of network infrastructure.
The European Union's goal is to have gigabit connections in all EU regions by 2030. The gigabit infrastructure regulation accelerates the construction of very high capacity networks.
What next?
Legal amendments are being prepared in the Ministry of Transport and Communications in cooperation with stakeholders. During the preparation, a round of opinions will be organized. The government's proposal is to be presented to the parliament in the spring of 2025.
The regulation's obligations will mainly apply from October 2025.
