Hello everyone,

The text is about information and communications technologies:

Many of the tasks of ICT regulators are such that the issue should first and foremost be set by the market, but if this does not work the regulator steps in. This includes standardization, which should be primarily market driven but in many cases, there is a need for intervention to protect consumers, to allow the market to function and **to allow for an international market**. National organs may make standards and/or implement existing ones (ITU or other international standards). There should be extensive publication of standards and invitation of public comment before adoption to ensure that the standard is what is suitable for industry. Any decision to make the implementation of standards mandatory should follow a full public consultation.

Does "allow for an international market" mean open access for an international market (foreign companies) to the national market or provide access for national companies to an international market?

Thank you.
