It is incumbent upon the Advisory Council to issue an opinion on the guidelines of the Budget of ICP-ANACOM, in this case the Budget for 2010.
The budget for the year 2010, as the Management Board of ANACOM affirms, ''took into account the assumptions and values considered in the Financial Plan which forms part of the ''Business Plan'' of ICP-ANACOM for the 2010/2012 triennium''. With regard to the Financial Plan, the opinion of the Advisory Council consists of a separate document since ICP-ANACOM presents them separately. However, the substantive content of the opinion prepared for the three-year Financial Plan is valid with respect to the Budget for 2010, whereby reference to it is rightly made.
The structure of the budget for 2010 is the same as that of previous years, characterized by: an appreciable net profit for the year; a dominant source of income - exercise of the activity of electronic communications and use of frequencies (80% of total income); a predominance of personnel costs (43% of total costs); a concentration of investment in information technology systems. This has been the structure of the budget of ICP-ANACOM and so it is projected for the coming years.

It is recommended that when the period of execution of the Budget comes to an end, an assessment be made of the new model of regulatory and administrative fees which entered into force this year and which represents a positive step forward, especially as an incentive for efficient use of the radio spectrum. It is further recommended that in respect of the suggested assessment an analysis be made of the structure of the budget of the Regulator in order to introduce the improvements which are warranted both in terms of the weight of regulation on the market and in terms of achieving an increase in organisational efficiency and effectiveness.
