Guardian: Kevin Rudd has "terminated' the fixed-price carbon tax from July 2014, but Labor's carbon pricing laws are still likely to require a tougher emissions reduction target than the minimum 5% by 2020.

Kroes outlines single market reforms to MEPs
2013-07-10 08:59:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Neelie Kroes, European commissioner for the Digital Agenda, has outlined her plans for new legislation to support the telecom single market at a presentation to the ITRE committee of the European Parliament. Kroes expects to introduce legislation on the proposals in September and put the changes into law before the parliamentary elections next spring. As outlined earlier, she plans an operator 'passport', similar to what exists in the financial services sector, where authorisation to operate in one country is valid throughout the EU, and the operator need answer only to the regulator in its home country. More standardised network access products across the EU, such as virtual bitstream, higher quality interconnection and coordinated spectrum licensing, is also expected to encourage operators to cross borders. On the consumer side, Kroes reiterated her call for an end to higher fees for roaming or international calls and said she plans to introduce an element of 'net neutrality' in the law. The latter would see any form of "blocking or throttling" of specific services by operators, on any network or device, prohibited.
