Sanctioning


In 2008, legal action was brought in 139 cases in respect of offences, arising from violations under the LEC and other legislation. This Authority's Activities Report describes all the activity in this area in more detail.

About 40 percent of the total number of cases were brought as a result of violation of the LEC, mostly in respect of failure to provide information to the NRA.

It should be noted that among the cases brought in respect of offences under other legislation, 10 were associated with postal services and were brought in respect of failures to comply with the obligation to provide ICP-ANACOM with the information necessary to verify and enforce the obligations and conditions inherent to the respective licenses or authorisations, 139 were associated with the private use land mobile service (of which 32 related to the unlicensed use of a radio network).
