Decision of 19.11.2015 / Published on 02.12.2015

Calculation of fees due for the pursue of the activity of postal services provider,
pursuant to paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of article 44 of Law No 17/2012, of 26 April

1. Pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3 of Annex IX to Administrative Rule No 1473-B/2008, of 17 December, as amended by Administrative Rule No 296-A/2013, of 2 October, it is hereby made public knowledge of the value of the t2 contribution rate, which results from the application of the following formula, thus obtained:

Fórmula: t2 = (C _{(Year n)} - T1 _{(Year n)}n1_{(Year n)} ) / ∑R2 _{(Year n-1)};

C= Total costs resulting from the regulation of the activity, a value which corresponds to fees due to ICP-ANACOM for 2015 = 2,388,359 €;

∑R0 = Total amount of relevant revenues of bodies of step 0, for 2014 = 2,912,640 €;

T1 = Fee due by bodies of step 1 (relevant revenues < = 1,500,000 €) = 2,500 €;

n1 = Number of bodies of step 1 = 16;

∑ of relevant revenues of all bodies paying fees due for electronic communications networks and services for 2014 = 794,105,523 €;

∑R1 = Total amount of relevant revenues of bodies of step 1, for 2014 = 8,478,263 €;

∑R2 = Total amount of relevant revenues of bodies of step 2, for 2014 = 782,714,620 €;

∑T1n1= 2,500€ x 16= 40,000 €;

t2 = Contribution rate to be paid by bodies of step 2 (relevant revenues > 1,500,000€) = (2,388,359 €- 40,000 €) / 782,714,620 €= 0.3000%;

a2 _{(Year n)} = Part to be deducted in the calculation of fees due by bodies of step2

a2 = t2 _{(Year n)} X R ^LI₂ – T1_{(Year n)} = 0.3000% x 1,500,001 € - 2,500 € = 2,000 €

T2 _{(Year n)} = t2 _{(Year n)} x R₂ _{(Year n-1)} - a2 (the value of fees to be settled for a regular year is obtained by applying the 0.3000% rate to relevant revenues of each operator of step 2 and deducting 2,000 €).

Given that 2015 is the 3rd year of the transition period, the calculated value is applied the 0.60 coefficient, pursuant to paragraph 8 of article 9 of Administrative Rule No 296-A/2013.

2. Amounts of relevant revenues of some postal providers were reviewed, further to an audit carried out by Decision of ANACOM's Management Board.
