Commission Report 2002 (Slovakia)

Chapter 19: Telecommunications and information technologies

Slovakia has not yet completed its alignment with the acquis. Whereas further progress was achieved in the postal sector with the adoption of the Act on Postal Services, alignment in the telecommunication sector did not advance, as the Slovak Parliament rejected to adopt further necessary amendments in the reporting period. The separation of regulatory and ownership functions, as also set out in the Action Plan, has not yet been completed, as the relevant Ministry continues to exercise the state's property rights. Thus, this Accession Partnership priority has been met only to a limited extent. Implementation of measures under the Action Plan is partially on track.
