Cette opposition ne nuira qu’aux consommateurs, alors que certains coûts contrôlés par les Etats pourraient tout aussi bien être réduits. En mai dernier, le commissaire européen pour le Marché intérieur, Thierry Breton, a proposé de faire contribuer les plateformes au développement de l’infrastructure numérique, comme les réseaux 5G, ce qui a suscité des réactions mitigées.

The European Union commissioner for the European Green Deal has left, a farmers’ party has taken control of the Dutch senate, French president Emmanuel Macron says regulatory changes shouldn’t be rushed, and the EU’s largest political group is openly opposing reform plans that had been years in the making.
