THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 establishing the European Electronic Communications Code(1), and in particular Article 93(8) thereof,
Whereas:
Commission Decision 2007/116/EC(2) establishes a procedure for reserving national numbers for harmonised services of social value. The Annex to that Decision contains a list of numbers within this numbering range and the services for which each number is reserved.
A new service – Helpline for Victims of Violence Against Women – has been identified by the Commission as a service of social value that may benefit from a harmonised number. For these reasons, the Annex to Decision 2007/116/EC should be amended to introduce the additional reserved number of 116 016.
Decision 2007/116/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Communications Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Article 2
Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that as from 30 April 2023 the competent National Regulatory Authority can assign the number that is added to the list of numbers reserved for harmonised services of social value in the Annex.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 25 November 2022.
