Conclusion


In its current wording, the ECL does not provide for specific requirements as regards information on the provision and use of publicly available telephones services. In line with Directive 2002/22/EC, as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC, the ECL now provides for the same requirements for all providers of public communications networks or publicly available electronic communications services with regard to the provision of information on access to and use of services provided.

The initial version of this determination, in spite of making the distinction between different information requirements, according to whether the provision of publicly available telephone networks and services or the provision of other electronic communications services were concerned, already established a very similar level of information for all services covered, and several information requirements even coincided.

In the light of the new wording of article 47 of the ECL, ANACOM takes the view that the manner how information obligations are presented must be reordered, and a common set of requirements has been provided for, corresponding to obligations provided for in the draft decision submitted to consultation where obligations are identical, and separating information requirements on account of specific service characteristics which justify a special wording.

The contents of obligations provided for in this determination does not differ, with the exceptions stressed throughout this report, from those set out in the draft decision submitted to consultation.
