Making speeches talk

Comment Neelie
[...] And likewise, we should focus not on regulation for its own sake, not on institutions or systems: but on outcomes. I do not want to create new super - regulators or centralise powers for its own sake: I want to take the pragmatic steps that can deliver the digital Europe we need, achievably, flexibly, and fast. At stake are the opportunities of a borderless, open network. Can we capture them? I think so. But only if we think European. Again, break out of a vicious circle where ingraining the status quo prevents planning for the future. So I absolutely want national regulators who are strong and independent. But I also call on you to have the right mentality, think beyond sectorial interests, think European and look to the future. Then we can make a change that really delivers for Europe.
