The EETT classifies complaints in accordance with the seriousness of the alleged infringements of the legislation on electronic communications and takes action as appropriate within its remit. Please note that EETT’s actions are either regulatory or punitive in nature where a number of consumer complaints/reports demonstrate an infringement by a supervised provider/body of provisions of the legislation on electronic communications and do not constitute a means for resolving consumer-provider disputes on an out-of-court basis.

Consumer reports/complaints submitted to the EETT must be forwarded to the reported undertaking electronically, with an accompanying request for the latter to respond to the issues raised within a specified deadline. Both the request and the reply are transmitted to the consumer concerned electronically. The EETT classifies complaints in accordance with the seriousness of the alleged infringements of the legislation on electronic communications and takes action as appropriate within its remit. Please note that EETT’s actions are either regulatory or punitive in nature where a number of consumer complaints/reports demonstrate an infringement by a supervised provider/body of provisions of the legislation on electronic communications and do not constitute a means for resolving consumer-provider disputes on an out-of-court basis.
