The appointment of a government commissioner in the telecom Regulatory Authority (ARCEP) has been finally refused Wednesday, March 9 by parliament, with a final Senate vote opposing the measure. The Senate has in fact definitively adopted the bill "concerning various provisions of adapting legislation to EU law on health, labor and electronic communications," in which the government wanted to introduce the appointment a commissioner Arcep.
This text includes the transposition of European directives on services including a "telecoms package". It is in this package that the government tried by an amendment adopted in first reading on 13 January by the National Assembly to implement the controversial appointment of a state representative in the Authority for the regulation of electronic communications and postal services (Arcep).
The Senate was abolished on February 11, against the advice of the government, in its review of the text and the deletion was confirmed by CMP (Mixed Commission) responsible for establishing a compromise between the two Assemblies. The government initiative had angered Arcep, but also the European Commission estimated that the state is a shareholder at 27% of Orange, potential conflicts of interest were significant.
Brussels Paris had threatened proceedings for infringement of EU law if the project was adopted.
