Özet:

Many reforms took place in the European Union regarding the telecommunication sector, beginning from early 80’s to date, at the purposes of liberalization of the market, consolidating telecommunication sector and other related sectors as a single market and harmonizing the legislation of the member countries. As a candidate of the European Union membership, Turkey assumed four types of obligations within the framework of the national program about telecommunication sector in order to full fill membership requirements of the Union. The first of the mentioned obligations is to ensure compliance with the legislation of the European Union, others are to prepare the markets for full liberalization, to commence studies to ensure compliance with the legislation of the European Union and to establish information technologies infrastructure. But while the national legislator accepted series of regulations and liberalized the internal market in some degree to achieve the mentioned goals, there is still a fundamental question for the national bodies of the European Union about the European Union’s main policy, namely whether if it is possible to raise efficiency and harmonize the internal market in a single market just by systematically organizing the rules. So far the diversified procedures that encountered in adopting such rules according to national legislation appear to be a handicap for the national operators to extend their services into other states of Europe. It’s clear that these kinds of problems can not be solved by forming new directives nor new rules but another approach should be accepted. Collecting all the National Regulating Authorities under the same roof could be the solution for these kinds of problems and also it can help the Union to achieve the goals that has been accepted
