General Authorizations are required for the engagement in all kinds of electronic communication activities pertaining to the provision of electronic communication networks or/and services, conforming to Law No. 4070/2012 and the “Regulation on General Authorization” (EETT Decision no 834/2/9-11-2017).
To provide electronic communication networks or/and services under a General Authorization regime, only persons providing public communication networks or publicly available electronic communication services, as well as persons operating special radio networks, are required to submit a Registration Declaration .
Furthermore, a General Authorization is required for the provision of electronic communication services by third persons which, despite the fact that they do not have their electronic communication infrastructure, provide electronic communication services - however, under their own different trade name and separate corporate organization - based on the infrastructure of other persons providing electronic communication networks or/and services which they have concluded relevant contracts with.
On the contrary, according to the Regulation on General Authorizations, no General Authorization is required:
-
For the simple resale of electronic communication services to users.
-
For the own use of terminal radio equipment, based on the non-exclusive use of special frequency bands, as determined by a competent Authority, by the User for reasons not associated with financial activities, such as the use of the civilian band by amateur radio operators, which does not constitute the provision of an electronic communication network or service and is governed by the stipulations included in the provisions laid down in applicable law on terminal equipment and radio equipment.
The interested persons are required to complete and submit to E.E.T.T. a Registration Declaration for Engaging in Electronic Communication Activities under a General Authorization Regime .
Attention! If a Registration Declaration is incomplete, the person shall not be registered in the Registry of Electronic Communication Network and Service Providers. If no administrative fee is paid, pursuant to article 12 of the Regulation on General Authorizations, the relevant Registration Declaration shall be considered incomplete.
