Translation of "Markteinsteiger" in English

This attracted further investments and new entrants into the market.

In almost all Member States, new entrants complain about win-back campaigns from the incumbents.

Total new entrant investment is estimated at 25% of the overall figure.

Furthermore, new entrants would most likely jeopardise the outcome of any potential co-ordination of competitive behaviour.

Overall, new entrants continued to increase their market share in terms of revenue.

Indeed, the Freudenstadt company is a young, but successful market participant.

In particular they hurt small and medium-sized enterprises and generally newcomers in the market.

In one Member State (Portugal) new entrants would like to see more intervention by the competition authority.

In just four years Bosch eBike Systems has developed from a market newcomer to the pace setter for drive systems.

Interested market newcomers can look forward to the Market Introduction Program with valuable tips from experts and a Retail Tour.

It should be noted, however, that this increase can be attributed exclusively to the two newcomer companies, while for the remaining five companies, production decreased by 6 % in the same period.

The Commission considers that, in these conditions, the scope for a new entrant to compete with the Drigg installation is very limited, and would make the construction of a competing low level waste repository unlikely to have any economic value.

While storage would indeed be a possible alternative to reprocessing of AGR fuel, the United Kingdom also contends that the tight time and regulatory constraints for the construction of any new AGR storage site even in Britain would make it also economically unattractive for new entrants, in particular in view of the limited size of the AGR spent fuel disposal market.

In particular, the period between the time of this decision and the last closure is of the same order of magnitude as the time necessary for a new entrant on the market to develop a new electricity plant project until commissioning.

Nevertheless, many of the new entrants broadcast a large proportion of European works in their first years of operation in order to penetrate the market concerned.

New entrants also complain that they have limited access to information on the parameters used in cost models, such as the cost of capital, without which they cannot have confidence in the suitability of the incumbents’ accounting systems for the regulatory purposes for which they are required.

In the case of the provision of leased lines, new entrants are concerned that incumbents’ cost accounting methodologies are not suitable for the economic pricing of products for the broadband and e-commerce markets, and that disparities in pricing indicate lack of adequate supervision by the NRAs.

They therefore have a major advantage in developing xDSL services as the technologies are developed to maximise the use of the copper wire network, an infrastructure that it is very hard and costly for new entrants to replicate.

For calls to far EU countries, besides Austria, new entrants’ tariffs are up to 42% lower in the United Kingdom and 38% lower in Luxembourg and France.

The bitstream service may be defined as the provision of transmission capacity between an end-user connected to a telephone connection and the point of interconnection available to the new entrant.

This is why access at the ATM level is of great importance to new entrants, along with access at DSLAM and POP where appropriate, in order to allow them to make full use of their own network (or alternative network offerings) and to control the technical characteristics of the connection to the end-user.

The proposed reduction of the number of markets in the Recommendation was welcomed by incumbent operators, while new entrants and consumers as well as a number of NRAs were more cautious.

It is essential that this rebalancing should take place before unbundling of the local loop in order to avoid price squeezes, i.e. situations in which new entrant operators would have to incur intermediate costs (those of the unbundled lines in the case in point) in order to be able to compete effectively with the retail prices charged by the dominant operator, which also happens to be the supplier of the intermediate good.

Another problem is the risk of discrimination where the marketing division of an incumbent may have access to information about customers who are thinking of changing provider when a new entrants seeks information about the addressing and technical feasibility of those potential clients.

It does not include resale offers, as these do not include the provision of interconnection or transmission capacity in such a way as to allow new entrants to offer their own, tailor-made DSL services to their clients.

Claims have also been made that interconnection tariffs for new entrants are discriminatory when compared to what incumbents charge between themselves (Finland).

Currently, only 8.3% of subscribers can be accessed directly by new entrants using cable, unbundled local loops or other technologies such as wireless.

Both new entrants and incumbents, in response to competition, are investing to extend and upgrade fixed and wireless network infrastructure in order to provide innovative services.

In other countries, there has simply been no effective take-up of unbundled lines because of the inability of new entrants to compete with the incumbent’s retail DSL offerings.
