1. Background


By determination of the Management Board of Autoridade Nacional de Comunicações (ANACOM), of 5 April 2018, a draft decision was approved on the transfer of rights of use for numbers resulting from the merger by means of acquisition of MEO - Serviços de Comunicações e Multimédia, S.A. (formerly TMN - Telecomunicações Móveis Nacionais, S.A.) into PT Comunicações, S.A. (renamed MEO - Serviços de Comunicações e Multimédia, S.A.).

The referred draft decision was submitted to the prior hearing of MEO - Serviços de Comunicações e Multimédia, S.A. (formerly PT Comunicações, S.A.), pursuant to articles 121 et seq of the Administrative Procedure Code, the company having been given 20 (twenty) working days to reply, if it so wished.

Having received a notification for the purpose on 9 April 2018, MEO - Serviços de Comunicações e Multimédia, S.A. (formerly PT Comunicações, S.A.) assessed the matter by letter of 8 May 2018, within the deadline set for this purpose.

The corresponding report was thus drafted, integrating this decision and including a summary of positions taken on the draft decision submitted to the prior hearing of the interested party, as well as ANACOM’s views thereon.
