  • European Communications Office – ECO European Communications Office – ECO Logo

    • European Communications Office – ECO provides advice and support to CEPT to help it to develop and deliver its policies and decisions in an effective and transparent way.

      The ECO is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the permanent office supporting the CEPT, its Presidency and its three Committees: the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC), the Committee for ITU Policy (Com-ITU) and the Committee for Postal Regulation(CERP). CEPT brings together the postal and telecommunications regulatory authorities of 48 European countries.

      The ECO Annual Reports can be downloaded here.This gives a comprehensive contemporary overview of our actual activities and achievement.

      You can read a little more about what our staff does here.

      The Office is governed by the ECO Council, consisting of representatives of the Contracting Parties to the ECO Convention, which is the instrument establishing the ECO and defining its constitution and purpose.
      The current Chair of Council is Mrs Marta Leandro (POR). For more details about the ECO Council, see Council page.

      Currently, ECO has 12 staff members, drawn from different CEPT countries. The Director is Per Christensen (DNK) and the Deputy Director Freddie McBride (IRL).

      The European Communications Office Convention expresses the primary functions of the ECO, often referred to as ‘The Office’, as follows:

      to provide a centre of expertise which shall act as a focal point, identifying problem areas and new possibilities in the postal and electronic communications field and to advise the CEPT Presidency and the Committees accordingly;
      to draft long-term plans for future use of scarce resources utilised by electronic communications on a European level;
      to liaise with the national authorities, as appropriate;
      to support and work together with national frequency management authorities;
      to conduct consultations on specific topics or parts of the frequency spectrum;
      to publish CEPT deliverables (Decisions and Recommendations) and keep a record of their implementation;
      to be the custodian of the CEPT archives and to disseminate CEPT information as appropriate
