Pan-European numbers and services

With more mobility for citizens in Europe it is seen as increasingly important that access to essential services does not depend on ‘local knowledge’. Harmonisation and coordination of telecommunications services provide opportunities to introduce unified numbers as well as services to benefit citizens all over the EU. These include the single European emergency number 112 and the 116 range of numbers for social services. In future Europeans will be also able to benefit from pan-European mobile satellite services.
