Regulation (EU) No 283/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2014 on guidelines for trans-European networks in the area of telecommunications infrastructure and repealing Decision No 1336/97/EC Text with EEA relevance · European Union

(28) The Union may support the deployment of broadband networks contributing to the objectives of the Digital Agenda for Europe in all types of areas. The reduction of the digital divide and the increase in digital inclusion are important objectives of the Digital Agenda for Europe. All the Union's actions in the field of broadband should therefore address the special needs of suburban, rural, and in particular sparsely populated and less developed regions, which need to be served with connections. This includes the deployment of broadband networks to link islands, landlocked, mountainous, remote and peripheral regions, including island Member States, with the central regions of the Union and/or actions to improve the reliability or performance of connections between such regions and central regions of the Union.
