Revision of TEN-Telecom guidelines
The European Commission, DG XIII, has published an invitation to tender for a revision of the status of the trans-European telecommunications networks (TEN-Telecom). In 1996, the European Parliament and the Council established a set of guidelines identifying the objectives, priorities, broad categories of measures, and a number of projects of common interest concerning the development of TEN-Telecom. This Decision states that the TEN-Telecom guidelines must be revised every three years. To carry out this evaluation the contractor will assess the needs of industry and Member States for the development of TEN-Telecom, identifying the telecommunications market sector where TEN-Telecom interventions can bring more added value, and assess the modalities of intervention for TEN-Telecom. The duration of the contract will be five months and the work has to be completed by 31 May 2000.
