Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Telecommunications (Leased Lines) Regulations 1993 (S.I. No. 2330). Those Regulations implemented Council Directive 92/44/EEC (the Leased Lines Directive).

The amending Regulations—

(a)

extend S.I. 1993/2330 as it applied to intra-Community leased lines to lines wholly situated within the European Economic Area; and

(b)

implement Commission Decision 94/439/EEC, which substitutes a new Annex II to the Leased Lines Directive, prescribing the harmonized technical characteristics of the minimum set of leased lines.
