BEREC Guidelines

The European Regulation on net neutrality obliges the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communication (BEREC) to issue guidelines. These guidelines were published on 30 August 2016 and updated according to the  BEREC work programmes 2019 and 2020. A draft of the updated guidelines was open for consultation until November 28, 2019. The final updated guidelines were published on 16 June 2020. Further background information can be found here.

In this context we would like to draw your attention to the following publications: On 3 December 2019 the European Data Protection Board decided on a statement regarding net neutrality rules. On December 12, 2018, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) published the Guideline on assessing security measures in the context of Article 3(3) of the Open Internet regulation.

Please note that only the English language version is authentic. The German translation of the guidelines from 2016 is non-binding.

The guidelines are available for download:
