ANACOM's Advisory Council, presided over by its chairman Álvaro Dâmaso, met for the eleventh time on 23 April 2008.
The agenda of the meeting had a single point, which was the application of Decree-Law no. 57/2008 of 26 March, in respect, particularly, of the provision which considers the commercial practice of ''rounding up price, duration or other factors, directly or indirectly, connected with the supply of goods or with the provision of services where this does not have exact and direct correspondence in the effective expenditure or use by the consumer and which leads to an increase in the price paid by the consumer'' as unfair.
This law establishes the legal regime applicable to unfair commercial practices of companies in relationships with consumers, occurring prior to, during, or following a commercial transaction with respect to a good or service, transposing Directive no. 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May into national legislation.
