The GSMA Response to the Call for Input to the Draft BEREC Work Programme 2027

The GSMA, representing the European mobile communications industry, welcomes the
opportunity to comment on the Draft BEREC Work Programme 2027. We appreciate
BEREC’s continued commitment to transparency and stakeholder engagement through
consultations, plenary debriefings, and workshops, which remain essential to ensure that
regulatory developments are informed by practical experience and technical expertise
from across the communications ecosystem.

The 2027 Work Programme is being prepared at a critical time for Europe’s connectivity
sector. The Digital Networks Act, and other new digital policy initiatives will shape the
framework for investment, competition, and innovation in the coming years. In this
context, close cooperation between regulators and industry is vital to achieve Europe’s
digital transformation objectives, support efficient investment, and preserve global
competitiveness.

It is important to have balanced and technically grounded approaches that build on
international standards and industry input. With these considerations in mind, the GSMA
sets out its detailed views on selected elements of the Draft Work Programme
2027. Our contribution aims to supports BEREC’s efforts to promote a regulatory
environment that enables sustainable investment, innovation, and resilience in Europe’s
mobile sector.
