Peter,
In the article 24 it specifies that operators of telecom networks should be able to define technical characteristics.. The article 26 specifies that ETSI has a role to produce harmonized standards etc.. Than article 5 talks about harmonized standards. So how can you say CTR,s are gone.. I do not read that way, What I see that it will be big mess with a manufacturer applying partial requirements as he feels it suits him.
