The UK is currently subject to net neutrality rules brought in through the EU Open Internet Access Regulation. In order to ensure the immediate continuity of legislation after we exit the EU, over the coming months the Government will be converting EU law into UK law through the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill. This means that EU Regulation 2015/2120, which concerns open internet access, will continue to be in place after we leave the EU.</p><p> </p><p>EU Regulation 1211/2009 establishing the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) is currently subject to review, as part of the recast of the EU Regulatory Framework for Electronic Communications. The Government is seeking a deep and special future partnership with the EU, and and no decisions have yet been made.
