Harris Kyriakides - Chapter on Cyprus Telecommunications Laws

Since almost a decade ago and after various public consultations, Cyprus carried out all of the necessary changes in order to bring the national laws of Cyprus and policies into line with the European laws, directives and regulations. A main aspect of the new framework was the establishment of the Office of the Commissioner of Telecommunications and Postal Regulation (the ‘OCTPR’) in 2002 under Act 19(I)/2002. Parallel to this, legislation was enacted in order to ensure full compliance and harmonisation with the applicable EU framework regarding telecommunications. The main legislative avenue is the Act on the Regulation of Electronic Communications and Postal Services Act 112(I)/2004 (‘Act’), after which, the Act 19(I)/2002 was abolished and the OCTPR was renamed as the Office of the Commissioner of Electronic Communications and Postal Regulation (the ‘OCECPR’).
