ANACOM approved, by determination of 23 July 2015, provisional and urgent measures relating to the wholesale high-quality access market provided at a fixed location (wholesale leased lines).
An amendment is introduced in the methodology implementing the price control obligation, imposed within the scope of the analysis of the wholesale leased line market, approved on 28 September 2010, in the context of MAM and inter-island Ethernet lines, the principle of cost-orientation of prices now being applied. Prices are assessed through the cost accounting system of MEO - Serviços de Comunicações e Multimédia. As such, MEO is required to amend the reference Ethernet line offer (RELO) within at the most 30 days from notification of this decision.
ANACOM has also determined that these provisional and urgent measures remain in force until the new procedure for market definition and analysis and for imposition of regulatory obligations relating to the wholesale high-quality access market provided at a fixed location is completed, including the respective notification to the European Commission (EC), and ANACOM's final decision.
EC, other national regulatory authorities (NRA) and the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) shall be informed of adopted measures and respective reasoning.
Approval was given likewise to the report of the prior hearing and consultation to which the draft decision adopted on 19 December 2014, relating to the wholesale high-quality access market provided at a fixed location (leased lines), had been submitted.
