The FTTH Council Europe has seven active Committees and a Working Group, covering a wide range of fibre-related topics and industry priorities. The Committees and Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe are instrumental in driving the organization’s mission to advance FTTH technology across the continent. By harnessing expertise, shaping policy, strategizing market development, and promoting collaboration, these groups ensure that the Council remains a leading force in the telecommunications industry. Their strategic importance cannot be overstated, as they lay the foundation for a connected, digital Europe where high-speed internet access is a reality for all.

By mean of this series of interviews with Committee and Working Group Chairs, the FTTH Council Europe aims at fostering a sense of community and collaboration among its Members. Committees and Working Group provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. This collective effort not only accelerates innovation but also builds a robust support system for member organizations, enhancing their capabilities and competitiveness in the market. This is way the efforts and engagement of their individual members deserve the spotlight.

Policy & Regulation Committee: Advocacy on the Digital Networks Act and Cybersecurity Act

The Policy & Regulation Committee has worked extensively on the European Union's legislative proposals. For the fibre industry, the principal legislative files at present are the Digital Networks Act and the revision of the Cybersecurity Act.

On the Digital Networks Act, the Committee has developed and finalised its amendments to the draft act, which will now serve as the basis for advocacy work with the co-legislators, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. Drawing on the valuable input of a technical ad hoc committee, the Committee is also preparing a detailed policy response on the Cybersecurity Act.

Both activities will continue throughout the third quarter, as the two drafts are now in the parliamentary process. In its last session, the Committee appointed a Vice-Chair. Our sincere thanks go to Roel van Kessel for taking on these responsibilities.
