"We also need to review whether the regulation is adapted to the 'GAFA' (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon) for example, which use bandwidth and the telecommunications operator," Breton told reporters, speaking in French.

GAFA is the French acronym for the largest technology companies in the United States, including Netflix.

Breton said that this particular issue, or the so-called "fair share" of US technology companies in financing European telecommunications and internet infrastructure, will be part of a broader consultation.
