The working group deals with the revision of the EU regulatory framework in the field of electronic communications and it is currently working on the preparation of responses to the European Commission questionnaire aimed at getting the insight into actual application of the regulatory framework and to discuss key issues that should be resolved within the new regulatory framework 

The quality of services within the net neutrality rules as well as the report on the study mostly dealing with the net neutrality issue from the perspective of an end –user were the topics discussed at the meeting. 

Workshop on "Providing support to the local and regional self-governments in project initiation and implementation in order to increase the accessibility of broadband infrastructure with the help of state aid” was held in Šibenik and  later in Zadar.

HAKOM’s roundtables with the stakeholders represent a further step towards improvement of the postal services market regulation and the promotion of joint interest. 

It is a part of the radio frequency spectrum in which, in addition to the second and third generations of mobile networks, those from the fourth generation can develop as well, whereby the services based on high speed data transfer can be offered to the users. 

Applicative solution for this project was made within HAKOM's Programme for the development of Internet and broadband Internet access in the areas of special state concern, hilly and mountainous areas and islands. 

The most important topic was the revision of the regulatory framework since the EC, which is launching the revision of the regulatory framework, values BEREC’s opinion on key issues. The main discussion focused on the definition of services in the regulatory framework since the existing definitions were developed 20 years ago in a different framework and in part no longer correspond to the development of technologies, services and market.   

The group was established in order to facilitate optimization and international coordination of the remaining broadcasting spectrum at the regional level. The results of this group will contribute to the process of international coordination of frequencies necessary for the switchover to DVB-T2 and to the freeing of the spectrum of the second digital dividend for services in mobile communications networks 

The main topics of the meeting refer to the final adoption of the report on PPDR systems (Public Protection and Disaster Relief) in 400 and 700 MHz frequency bands, which are based on LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology and that will be used by different public services in the mobile networks system 

The conference entitled “Regulatory Activity in the Electronic Communications Sector” focused on the topic of increased availability of broadband and its acceptance, on achievements in technological development, action plans, user protection and future development plans.  

The International Symposium ELMAR-2015 will include a special section on "Future of the UHF band - Second Digital Dividend and Digital Terrestrial Television" where the latest technical achievements and results related to the future and the development of digital terrestrial television as well as the second digital dividend allocation will be presented.
