Joint Declaration on Intellectual Property Rights in the digital market from
leading European ICT & Communications organisations
 
The role of the ICT industry in achieving the Digital Agenda targets
 
Our pan-European organisations, Cable Europe, ECTA, ETNO, EuroISPA and GSMA
Europe represent the European electronic communications industry that is comprised of
both national and pan-European fixed and mobile telecoms operators, Internet Services
Providers (ISPs) and cable companies. The European electronic communications industry
plays a crucial part in connecting European citizens and businesses to information, news,
entertainment, social media, cultural content and other public interest content.
 
Notwithstanding the economic crisis, our industry continues to invest and enables
European businesses to grow and compete at a national and international level. Over the
last 15 years, our industry has delivered half of European productivity growth. We are
committed to the continued delivery of sustainable economic and social benefits from a
digital single market based on fast and ultra-fast networks and services, which buttress
the overall aims of the Digital Agenda for Europe. If Europe is to achieve the EU2020
goals, it is essential that we all contribute to the completion of the digital single market.
