Introduction
The rapid evolution of the market in Europe, the important multiple technical developments, the new decentralized
structures for the management of Communications Networks and Services are associated to a revision of the regulatory
conditions applicable in the Communications sector in the EU.
This created a number of new difficulties, some of them related to the need of ensuring a high level of support from
Communications systems in Emergency conditions and a permanent increase of the effectiveness of the responsible
bodies in such situations. In fact, if in a single network an Emergency situation is already a delicate case to consider,
when two or more Telecommunications Networks are interconnected and the corresponding operators have different
and sometimes opposite interests, the solution for each problem may be more complex and difficult to find.
In this context the standardization may be the only solution to promote freely and widely accepted solutions fulfilling
the needs of the population, particularly those identified in regulatory documents.
The goal of the present document is to facilitate a stronger standardization in this area by bringing together the most
important easily identified rules in EU. In order to enable also to take into account trends that might result in future
regulatory rules, the present document includes a list of main sites where these orientations can be found
(Communication, working documents, statements from official groups, etc.).
The present version is actualized from the previous one produced in 2013. The intention is to collect more information
focused in the relationship between standardization work and EMTEL needs expressed in regulatory documents and
update the present document in future versions, when appropriate with more and more updated details.

4 General
The present document tries to identify the most relevant regulatory principles applicable to EMTEL. A careful study of
the EU and national regulation is required for a complete understanding of all the implications of the presently
applicable legal measures.
To facilitate the access to the source texts and minimize the risk of misunderstandings and false interpretations, the
majority of the text was literally copied from the official documents. This text is printed in italics to allow a clear
identification. In some cases, more important words or statements are printed in bold to call the attention of the reader.
5 Documents relevance for EMTEL activities
5.0 Classes of relevance
The documents produced within the frame of the Commission should be considered on the basis of their relevance
towards emergency telecommunications. Three classes are proposed to sort them adequately:
• regulatory documents having relevance for EMTEL;
• other regulatory documents with less direct impact on EMTEL; and
• documents giving orientations for future regulations.
5.1 Regulatory documents in application, having relevance with
EMTEL
