46As regards the first part of the second question, it should be noted that the first subparagraph of Article 8(1) of the Framework Directive provides that in carrying out the regulatory tasks specified in that directive and the specific directives, and therefore in particular in the Access Directive, the NRAs are to take all reasonable measures which are aimed at achieving the objectives set out in that article, namely to promote competition in the provision of electronic communications networks and electronic communications services, to contribute to the development of the internal market and to promote the interests of the citizens of the European Union. That provision provides, in addition, that such measures are to be proportionate to those objectives.
