Law 3471/2006, Article 8, Calling and Connected Line Identification

Ν. 3471/2006, άρθρο 8

In force.

A telephone contact rule binding public and private bodies.

Obligation class: Disclosure

What it requires

If you provide an electronic communications service that presents the calling line's identity, let the calling user prevent the presentation call by call, by simple means and free of charge, and let the calling subscriber do so line by line (Article 8(1)).
On the same service, let the called user prevent, by simple means and free of charge, the presentation of the calling line's identity on incoming calls (Article 8(2)), and, where the identity is presented before the call is established, let the called user reject by simple means a call whose caller has not allowed the presentation (Article 8(3)).
Where you present the connected line's identity, let the called user remove it, by simple means and free of charge, for the calling user (Article 8(4)).
Provide these abilities yourself as the provider of the service (Article 8(6)), and apply paragraph 1 to calls to countries outside the European Union and paragraphs 2 to 4 to incoming calls from third countries (Article 8(5)).
If you provide a public communications network or a publicly available electronic communications service, keep means of overriding the suppression of calling line identification to trace malicious or nuisance calls for a limited period at the subscriber's request, and for emergency calls to the competent public services or to recognized private emergency bodies (Article 8(7)).
