Reference offers

The National IT and Telecom Agency conducts a public consultation by posting reference offers on the Agency's website, stating the deadline for responses. The comments of the industry must have been received by the Agency before expiry of the deadline. The Agency will then review the comments and determine if these might involve changes in the terms of the reference offers under the rules of section 73(2) of the Telecommunications Act.
  
It should be noted that reference offers need not be approved by the National IT and Telecom Agency. The Agency is solely authorised to require that specific terms should be replaced by terms that are reasonable under the rules of the Telecommunications Act for offering access to interconnection.

An amendment to the Telecommunications Act that took effect on 1 January 2006 provides that new or modified reference offers should be circulated for consultation within the industry for the purpose of obtaining comments by the industry on the services and terms of the offers.

Interconnection agreements

According to Act No. 418 of 31 May 2000 on Competitive Conditions and Consumer Interests in the Telecommunications Market, all interconnection agreements made with, or by, providers of public telecommunications networks or telecommunications services who have significant market power, and interconnection agreements on national roaming made with, or by, providers of public mobile communications networks, must be submitted to the National IT and Telecom Agency not later than 14 days after the establishment of such agreements.

Under section 63(3) of the Act, the National IT and Telecom Agency will arrange for the agreements submitted, as well as terms and prices for interconnection, to be made publicly available. A copy of the individual agreements may be obtained by contacting the National IT and Telecom Agency.

Section 63 of the Telecommunications Act was repealed under Act No. 450 of 10 June 2003 amending the Act on Competitive Conditions and Consumer Interests in the Telecommunications Market. This implies that for those markets where the National IT and Telecom Agency has made an administrative decision and where possible obligations on the relevant market have entered into force, interconnection agreements need no longer be submitted to the National IT and Telecom Agency.
