Under the terms of its statutes, it is a responsibility of ICP-ANACOM to ''assist the Government, upon its request or upon its own initiative, in the definition of strategic guidelines and general policies for communications and the activity of communications operators, including the issuance of and the drafting of legislation in the field of communications''.
In this context, ICP-ANACOM is often called upon to give advice to the government on various issues. In 2012, ICP-ANACOM was called on to give advice on the preparation and oversight of tenders to designate the US provider(s) of electronic communications, the preparation of the US funding mechanism, transposition of the Postal Directive, as well as on the transition to DTT, with a view to ensuring that migration to the new technology occurred smoothly.
In addition, the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) concluded in 2011 between the Government of Portugal, the EC, ECB and IMF (Troika) led to the development of a vast set of advisory work during the year.
