The National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Information Technology (ANRCETI) said both the character and the number of identified violations suffered qualitative changes compared with the corresponding period of 2014. The number of contravention reports drawn up by the Agency in the period fell over 1.5 times – from 27 to 16, IPN reports.
Of the 16 reports, six were against private individuals, while ten against legal entities. Twelve administrative cases were started against persons who sold uncertified and low-quality electronic communications equipment, who caused considerable perturbation in the mobile telephone networks and who illegally connected themselves or allowed connecting oneself to the electronic communications network.
The courts pronounced on 16 contravention reports compiled by the ANRCETI. In nine cases, the offenders were fined a total of 33,000 lei. The companies BM Technotrade, Av-Electronic, Av-Macrocom and Interbit-Net were fined 4,000 lei each for selling uncertified and low-quality electronic communications equipment and for illegally providing electronic communications equipment and networks.
In five cases, the court found the suspects guilty, but didn’t penalize them because the statute of limitations of three months expired. In two cases, the charges were dropped because the blame of the suspects wasn’t proved.
The fines imposed by the court are fully transferred to the state budget.
