2.

Member States shall ensure that every network operator performing directly or indirectly civil works, either fully or partially financed by public means, meets any reasonable request to coordinate civil works on transparent and non-discriminatory terms, made by undertakings providing or authorised to provide public communications networks with a view to deploying elements of high-speed electronic communications networks. Such request shall be met provided that: this will not entail any additional costs, including because of additional delays, for the initially envisaged civil works; this will not impede control over the coordination of the works; and the request to coordinate is filed as soon as possible and in any case at least one month before the submission of the final project to the competent authorities for permit granting. Member States may provide rules on apportioning the costs associated with the coordination of civil works.
