Eleven countries have been warned over failure to implement emergency telephone lines. Greece, Ireland, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, the Netherlands, Portugal and Slovakia have been identified as the offenders.
Meanwhile, Belgium and Poland received warnings for failing to conduct adequate reviews of the communications markets to ascertain whether these markets are effectively competitive.
