The regulatory body, berec.europa.eu, is made up of the heads of the 27 national telecommunications regulators and is assisted by an office to be based in Riga. It also was decided this week that the BEREC office would be headed by Ando Rehemaa, director of the Centre of Registers and Information Systems of Estonia, to be confirmed by the European Parliament, according to BEREC. BEREC replaces the European Regulators Group, a national regulators group that “could operate on the basis of consensus alone and was not formally integrated into the EU’s regulatory process,” the EU said.
