EU commissioner for Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes speaks during a press conference dedicated to the Commission's proposal to step forward on the creation of single market for telecoms in the European Union on September 12, 2013, at the EU Headquarters in Brussels. The European Commission today adopted its most ambitious plan in 26 years of telecoms market reform. Launched by Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in his 2013 State of the Union speech, the Connected Continent legislative package, when adopted, will reduce consumer charges, simplify red tape faced by companies, and bring a range of new rights for both users and service providers, so that Europe can once again be a global digital leader.
