As the competent authority for the application of competition rules in the electronic communications and postal services markets, EETT receives complaints and information concerning potential infringements of the relevant provisions (Articles 1 and 2 of Law 3959/2011 and Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union – TFEU).
To facilitate communication and promote transparency, EETT has established the “Communication Hub for Anti-competitive Practices”, competitionreport.eett.gr (available in Greek), through which undertakings and citizens may submit:
- formal complaints regarding anti-competitive practices or market information (Law 3959/2011-available in Greek);
- external reports (whistleblowing) concerning unlawful business practices (Law 4990/2022-available in Greek).
EETT:
- does not have competence in relation to the provisions of the law on unfair competition (Law 146/1914-available in Greek);
- does not resolve private disputes between undertakings, as these fall within the jurisdiction of the civil courts. Civil courts may determine the validity of agreements and decisions of associations of undertakings, establish the existence of prohibited concerted practices and/or abuse of a dominant position, and adjudicate on related matters.
