European Commissioner Director General
Roberto Viola talking about the net neutrality provisions of the Telecom Single Market regulation. 
1) The US rules are much stronger & clearer compared to the EU rules. Both have legal standing and can easily changed by the legislator. 
2) The provisions regarding transparency on advertised and actual bandwidth have already been removed from the 28 member states several months back. Viola tries to sell something to the public which the is no longer part of this legislation.
3) Instead of banning Zero-Rating this regulation will ban countries from banning it. Instead of the good safeguards in Slovenia and the Netherlands all 28 countries will be stuck with a text on zero-rating that gives a regulator no leg to stand on and which never holds up in court. 
4) traffic management: paid fast lanes are possible with this text, but they call them specialised services. A class based traffic management system is the end of the best effort internet.
