Abstract The issue of net neutrality has been the object of intense policy-making effort in EU institutions and in EU Member States. These efforts have led to the entry into force of EU Regulation 2015/2120 in 2016. This article aims to contribute to both legal discussion on this EU legislation and philosophical discussion on net neutrality. It relies upon a methodological approach conceived as a dialogue between law and political philosophy. The main hypothesis of this article is that ‘net neutrality’ is an open concept crystallizing distinct normative challenges. In order to address them, I develop a two-fold argument: first, identify underlying values and, second, use them as interpretative guidelines for legal norms. I will propose a republican understanding of the values at stake in the different traffic management measures addressed by EU Regulation 2015/2120. This republican approach is based on the definition of freedom as the absence of domination. I will show how this approach might be productive in interpreting EU regulations.

迈向公正的互联网接入：欧盟的共和网络中立

摘要 网络中立性问题一直是欧盟机构和欧盟成员国政策制定努力的目标。这些努力导致欧盟法规 2015/2120 于 2016 年生效。本文旨在促进有关该欧盟立法的法律讨论和有关网络中立性的哲学讨论。它依赖于一种被视为法律与政治哲学之间对话的方法论方法。本文的主要假设是，“网络中立”是一个开放的概念，体现了不同的规范挑战。为了解决这些问题，我提出了一个双重论点：首先，确定潜在价值，其次，将它们用作法律规范的解释指南。我将对欧盟法规 2015/2120 所涉及的不同交通管理措施所涉及的价值提出共和主义的理解。这种共和主义方法是基于将自由定义为没有统治的。我将展示这种方法如何在解释欧盟法规方面富有成效。
