    of 29 April 2024

    on measures to reduce the cost of deploying gigabit electronic communications networks, amending Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 and repealing Directive 2014/61/EU (Gigabit Infrastructure Act)

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114 thereof,
    Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
    After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
    Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
    Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
    Whereas:
    (1) The digital economy has changed the internal market profoundly over the past decade. The Union’s vision is a digital economy that delivers sustainable economic and social benefits based on excellent, reliable and secure connectivity for everybody and everywhere in Europe, including in rural, remote and scarcely populated regions as well as in transport corridors. A high-quality digital infrastructure based on very high capacity networks as defined in Article 2, point (2) of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) (‘VHCNs’) underpins almost all sectors of a modern and innovative economy. It can provide for innovative services, more efficient business operations and smart, sustainable, digital societies, while contributing to achieving the Union climate targets. It is of strategic importance to social and territorial cohesion and overall for the Union’s competitiveness, resilience, digital sovereignty and digital leadership. Digitalisation has a profound impact on the everyday social, economic, political and cultural life of all people in the Union. In that regard, limited access and insufficient network expansion can deepen social inequalities, thus creating a new digital divide between people who are able to benefit fully from an efficient and secure digital connectivity, allowing them to access a wide range of services, and people who are unable to do so. In that regard, the roll-out of VHCNs in rural, remote and scarcely populated regions, as well as in social housing, should be a priority for public investment projects, as a key aspect of social inclusion. Therefore, natural and legal persons in the private and public sectors should have the opportunity to be part of the digital economy.
