The Commission completed the review of the functioning of the EECC on 21 January 2026 with the adoption and publication of a Report to the European Parliament and the Council. After highlighting several challenges, the Digital Networks Act (DNA) proposal aims to replace the Code. In turn, the DNA will create a modern, simplified and more harmonised legal framework, that boosts innovation and investment in resilient and advanced digital infrastructure, that is critical for enabling the adoption of AI, cloud, space and other innovative technologies.

the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) has developed and adopted a significant number of guidelines, which aimed to promote a consistent application of the EECC and contribute to its successful implementation.

Only three Member States met the December 2020 deadline for transposing the EECC into national law. The transposition in all 27 Member States was only completed in August 2024, with the Commission supporting the Member States in the implementation process.
