ANACOM reorganisation


/ Updated on 02.12.2003

The Autoridade Nacional de Comunicações (ANACOM) is undergoing a process of internal reorganisation meant to adjust its operations to the sector?s increasingly complex and dynamic nature and to demands stemming from the new regulatory framework for electronic communications, now being transposed into the national legal order, as well as to ensure sufficient articulation with the Competition Authority.

The new structure is based on three functional domains: support for the ANACOM Board of Administration; operational; and organisation support.

The Board of Administration support domain includes the departments of Convergence and Development (Portuguese initials: DCD), Studies and Strategy (DEE), Management and Board Support (DGA) and External Affairs (DRE).

ANACOM?s operational domain is composed of the directorates of Inspection and Investigation (DFI), Spectrum Management (DGE), Regulation and Legal Affairs (DRJ), Market Regulation (DRM) and Technology and Equipment (DTE).

Lastly, organisation support is assured by the Image and Communication Department (DCI) and the Financial and Administrative Directorate (DFA).
