What this law does
Article 14(c) of Government Emergency Ordinance 34/2008 on the national single emergency call system, as inserted by Law 198/2022, requires providers of publicly available number-based interpersonal communications services that originate calls over public fixed networks to ensure the priority reception and routing to the most appropriate PSAP of emergency calls initiated by end users with disabilities, in particular persons with hearing or speech disabilities or impairments proved by a medical document.
Article 15(a1), as inserted by Law 198/2022, imposes the same duty on providers whose services originate calls over public mobile networks and extends it to those users when they are roaming in Romania.
Article 2(5), as amended by Law 198/2022, makes free of charge the messages that persons with hearing or speech disabilities registered with the administrator of the national single emergency call system send to number 113 in connection with emergency calls, and the short messages sent from number 113. Law 198/2022 states that the ordinance transposes Article 2, points 36 to 40, of Directive (EU) 2018/1972. Articles 14 and 15 give effect to Article 109(2) and (5) of that Directive.
Article 32(1)(c) of the ordinance, as amended by Law 198/2022, fines the non-compliance of providers with Articles 14 to 17, among other articles, from 5,000 lei to 100,000 lei. Article 56(2) of Law 198/2022 brings that fine provision into force 30 days after the publication of the Law. ANCOM relied on Articles 13, 18 and 20 of the ordinance, among other provisions, as the legal basis of its Decision 786/2022.
