Article Abstract:

European Union (EU) members are increasingly being pressured to liberalize their telecommunication markets. For EU members, the challenge lies in striking a balance between market liberalization and regulations that will promote fair competition. Although subsidiarity can bring about liberalization within the context of a properly functioning market, it can also prove disadvantageous when vaguely or improperly applied.
