<p>The European Electronic Communications Code Directive updated the EU telecommunications
regulatory framework, and was transposed into UK law via the Electronic Communications
And Wireless Telegraphy (Amendment) (European Electronic Communications Code And Eu
Exit) Regulations 2020.</p><p>Whilst the Directive gave member states flexibility
to assign certain functions to competent authorities, as under prior EU and domestic
law, Ofcom is retained as the designated telecoms national regulatory authority in
the UK</p><p><br>Local planning authorities were not made competent authorities through
EU Directive 2014/61/EC, as the government was already content that the functions
in question relating to planned civil works were already in place. The transposition
of the EECC would have no effect on the status of local planning authorities where
they are considered competent authorities under EU Directive 2014/61/EC.</p>
