About us
Independent, consistent, high-quality regulation of #digitalmarkets for the benefit of #Europe and its citizens. The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) is a regulative authority composed of the Board of Regulators (BoR) - the heads or nominated high-level representatives of National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), Working Groups (WGs) and the Contact Network (CN). BEREC is overseeing the day-to-day operation and voting on the adoption of initial proposals. While the WGs work on specific topics under the BEREC Work programme and develop initial proposals, the CN ensures the coordination of the proposals to be considered by the BoR for voting. BEREC contributes to the development and better functioning of the internal market for electronic communications networks and services. It does so by aiming to ensure a consistent application of the EU regulatory framework and by aiming to promote an effective internal market in the telecoms sector, in order to bring even greater benefits to consumers and businesses alike. Furthermore, BEREC assists the @EC and the NRAs in implementing the EU regulatory framework for electronic communications. It provides advice on request and on its own initiative to the European institutions and complements, at the European level, the regulatory tasks performed by the NRAs at the national level. ____________________________________________________________ The BEREC Office is an EU Agency supporting BEREC and, it represents its legal personality. The BEREC Office provides all necessary professional and administrative support for the work of BEREC, including financial, organisational and ICT services, and contributes to BEREC’s regulatory work for the benefit of people in Europe. ____________________________________________________________ Follow us!

🔐October is Cybersecurity Month - a reminder that trust & resilience are at the heart of Europe’s #digital future As more services and interactions move online, ensuring #CyberSecurity and resilience in Europe’s electronic communication networks has never been more important. Fraudulent activities and misuse of numbering resources increasingly affect both users and market players, highlighting the need for collective, expert action. At #BEREC, two of our working groups play a key role in strengthening the security and trustworthiness of Europe’s electronic communications: ➡️The Cybersecurity and Resilience Working Group supports the take-up of secure and resilient networks. It works closely with the NIS Cooperation Group, European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), the European Commission, and National Regulatory Authorities to exchange best practices, develop recommendations, and ensure coherent implementation of the #EU’s cybersecurity framework. 🔗Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eMy_eAD7 ➡️The End Users Working Group focuses on consumer empowerment and the practical implementation of users’ rights. By tackling issues such as fraudulent activities and misuse of numbering resources, it helps ensure confidence, privacy, and trust in electronic communications. 🔗Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e63QW9cH Together, BEREC's efforts reinforce a secure, reliable, and trusted digital environment for all across Europe🤝 #empoweringEUconnectivity #CyberSecMonth #CyberSecEU Marina Ljubić Karanović HAKOM Indre Jurgelioniene RRT | The Communications Regulatory Authority of the Republic of LithuaniaKatja Kmet VrčkooAKOSSZdravko JukiććEU Digital & Techh

#BEREC15 🎉 – Celebrating 15 years of promoting full connectivity, supporting sustainable and open digital markets, and empowering end-users. The Roaming Regulation, first introduced in 2007, has significantly transformed the way how Europeans use their phones when travelling. 🌍 Since BEREC’s establishment, BEREC’s Roaming Working Group - Co-chaired by Ioanna Choudalaki from EETT and Elisabeth Felber from Rundfunk und Telekom Regulierungs-GmbH (RTR) — has been instrumental in supporting and implementing this success. Over the past years, the Group has: 🔹 Supported the European Commission and stakeholders in introducing “Roam Like at Home” 🔹 Made legislative proposals and provided guidance on the application of rules 🔹 Monitored the implementation of the regulation across the #EU 🔹 Contributed to empowering end‑users, ensuring roaming is an affordable and reliable service Thanks to BEREC’s contribution, travellers across the EU can use their mobile phones with confidence, just as they do at home. 📱 Learn more about the Working Group: https://lnkd.in/dAwefNGq #empoweringEUconnectivity #RLAH #roaming #telecoms

💡The #BEREC - BEUC - The European Consumer Organisation joint workshop on #EndUser rights takes place next week Wednesday, 15 October 2025 By discussing aspects that can potentially impact European consumers in a rapidly developing digital environment, the workshop aims to identify actionable insights or legislative changes, especially taking into account the best practices that can empower consumers and strengthen their position in the digital marketplace. Diving deeper into the subject, the workshop is divided into four sessions: ➡️Panel discussion: the case for sectoral legislation – why horizontal consumer law in telecoms is not enough/enough ➡️Contractual terms – beyond minimum transparency ➡️Quality of service and digital inclusion – protecting end-user experience ➡️Empowering consumers – why awareness and enforcement require sectoral safeguards ⚠️The registration ends tomorrow, 10 October 2025. 🔗Do not miss the opportunity to join this insightful workshop and register now: https://lnkd.in/gzs9tQHC #empoweringEUconnectivity
