EU concerned about draft telecom law

The head of the EU delegation in Thailand is calling on the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to revise new draft regulations on foreign dominance or risk violating World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements, says a source at the regulator.

David Lipman, ambassador and head of the EU delegation to Thailand, submitted a letter in opposition to the NBTC's new foreign dominance regulations, saying the rules were not in compliance with WTO agreements and national treatment commitments.

Mr Lipman will meet with the NBTC to discuss the issue today, said an NBTC member.
