32It should be recalled that Directive 2002/22 is intended to create a harmonised regulatory framework which secures, in the electronic communications sector, the delivery of universal service, that is to say, of a defined minimum set of services to all end-users at an affordable price. According to Article 1(1) of Directive 2002/22, one of its objectives is to ensure the availability, throughout the European Community, of good quality, publicly available services through effective competition and choice (Case C-220/07 Commission v France [2008] ECR I-95, paragraph 28).
