• Resumen

  • On 11 May 2015, the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs issued a policy regulation clarifying the provision on net neutrality, which is codified in Article 7.4a of the Dutch Telecommunication Act (DTA). The policy regulation was adopted after the Ministry of Economic Affairs held a national consultation round, inviting stakeholders to comment on certain aspects regarding net neutrality. According to Article 21 of the Framework Act on Independent Governing Bodies (Kaderwet Zelfstandige Bestuursorganen), the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs has a mandate to issue policy regulations which clarify the scope and subject matter of certain provisions that fall under the portfolio of the Ministry.
