Document Details:

The European Electronic Communications Code incentivizes the voluntary separation of vertically integrated operators with significant market power by withdrawing certain network access obligations that would otherwise apply, and allows national regulators to compel the functional separation of vertically integrated entities in exceptional circumstances, where competition issues or market failures have not been resolved by existing access or interconnection obligations.
