To which bodies (if any) are decisions appealed? The Office of the Commissioner of Electronic Communications and Postal Regulations (OCECPR) which is an independent body is the competent authority for Market Regulation in the fields of Electronic Communications including Networks and Services and Postal Services. The Department of Electronic Communications (DEC) of the Ministry of Communications and Works (MCW) is the competent authority for Spectrum Management. Decisions may be appealed to the Supreme Court. 2. Has your jurisdiction adopted the WTO Basic Telecommunications Agreement? If yes, with what exceptions, if any? Yes. WTO Basic Telecommunications Agreement has been adopted (OCECPR had some comments regarding the definition at interconnection services).
2 3. Are operators in your jurisdiction privately or publicly/state owned? With the exception of the Incumbent Operator Cyta which is state owned, other operators are privately owned. 4. What are the primary differences between the regulation of wire line, wireless, satellite, cable and VoIP providers? The provision of electronic communications networks and services require registration to the OCECPR. On the OCECPR website under the licensing section, you can find guidelines on the types of networks and services requiring registration. Individual rights of use are granted for the use of numbering resources. Networks and services using frequency spectrum are licensed through common procedures with the DEC. Rights of Way may require further licensing from other competent public and local authorities. Regulation is differentiated between SMP and non SMP operators according to the Market Analysis of the different markets defined across the European Union. More information on the relevant decisions and regulatory measures can be found on the OCECPR website Further obligations are enforced according to the Decision of terms and conditions of general authorizations (PA 436/2005). General obligations apply for all operators including terms for SMP and non SMP operators (e.g. data protection, number portability, collocation, customer contracts etc). Special obligations also apply for specific networks and services. 5. Are broadcasters regulated separately from telecoms? All networks and services are regulated on the same legal basis. The content of broadcasting services is regulated separately by the Cyprus Radio Television Authority. OCECPR is not responsible for content regulation. 6. How are satellite earth stations and submarine cable landings regulated? Satellite Earth Stations are licensed by DEC. Cable Landing Stations are licensed by OCECPR. Both infrastructures require all other relevant licenses from competent authorities including public and local authorities. Networks and services are regulated as applicable for the provision of services in Cyprus. 7. How is the radio spectrum generally regulated? Radio Spectrum is regulated by the DEC of MCW. For further information please contact DEC (
3 8. Are any operators granted exclusivity? The provision of electronic communication networks and services is not exclusively granted to any operator. Exclusive rights are granted only for the use of radio spectrum and numbers, if necessary. 9. Are anti-competitive practices subject to regulation or general competition (e.g., antitrust) laws? The Cyprus Competition Authority is responsible for dealing with matters such as anti-competitive Practices and anti-trust cases even though OCECPR has in certain limited cases residual jurisdiction to deal with issues of competition in the market. 10. What services have been liberalized or designated as competitive services? All services of electronic communications have been liberalized since Market analysis is defining the competitiveness of each relevant market. Please refer to the OCECPR website ( for further information on the relevant decisions. 11. Are there regulated tariffs or price lists? If so, for what types of services? The NRA (National Regulatory Authority) regulates the prices of operators, which have a significant market power. This price control take place usually at the wholesale level but sometimes also at the retail level depending always at the level of effective competition. There are a number of services, which are price regulated. These services are included in the various reference offers such as: Access Reference Offer Interconnection Offer WLR offer Broadband Offer Bitstream Offer 12. Are there restrictions on foreign investment in any types of communications companies? If so, what are the restrictions? No restrictions exist on foreign investment in the area of electronic communications. Companies that are authorized by OCECPR should be registered to the Department of Registrar of Companies and Official Receiver. 13. What are the approval processes for mergers and acquisitions? Do these vary by type of operator? The Commission for the Protection of Competition, which was established in 1990, is the competent authority in the Republic of Cyprus that is responsible for the
4 restoration, conservation and strengthening of competition in the Republic, including the control of mergers and acquisitions between enterprises. The Law on the Control of Concentrations between Enterprises, Law 22(I)/1999, as amended (Law 22(I)/1999) seeks to control important restructurings of enterprises in the form of concentrations, in relation to their effect upon the structure of the competitive market. Law 22(I)/1999 provides for a system of preventive control of concentrations between enterprises for any concentrations which fall within the ambit of Law 22(I)/ Concentrations are considered to be of major importance and thus require notification if the following cumulative three-pronged test is satisfied: the annual worldwide turnover realised by each of at least two participating enterprises exceeds ,88; and at least one of the participating enterprises is concerned with commercial activities within Cyprus; and finally, at least ,88 of the joint aggregate annual turnover of the participating enterprises concerns the sale of goods or the supply of services within Cyprus. The notification must be filed within the time limits set out in Law 22(I)/1999 and the enterprises must secure the relevant approval of the Commission for the notified concentration prior to effecting any such concentration. 14.
