1. to order PT Comunicações, S.A. to make changes within 10 working days to its ''PT ADSL Network'' wholesale offer, in order to eliminate the condition that prevents PT Comunicações, S.A. from implementing migration until it has received a request for the termination of contract with the provider from which the end user is migrating; PT Comunicações, S.A. must initiate the migration process on its reception of the request for provision from the provider to which the end user is migrating.
Notice of termination must be submitted by the end user to the provider to which the user wishes to migrate, at the moment the user expresses his/her wish to enter into an agreement with the provider. Unless otherwise agreed, this provider should, in turn, pass the notice of termination to the provider from which the user is migrating.
