Article 14 of ePrivacy Regulation: Incoming call blocking (Proposed Text)
The proposed text for ePrivacy Regulation Article 14 from the 4th of May, 2018 is below, covering incoming call blocking. This will likely change in the next month or two as they are meeting to discuss the changes to the current ePrivacy Directive. We will update accordingly. Negotiations continue about the precise text and the current version gives one year from the date of entry into force for implementation. We will post the full text when it is available.
Article 14: Incoming call blocking
1. Providers of number-based interpersonal communications services shall deploy state of the art measures to limit the reception of unwanted, malicious or nuisance calls by end-users.
2. Providers of number-based interpersonal communications services shall also provide the called end-user with the following possibilities, free of charge:
(a) to block incoming calls from specific numbers or from anonymous sources or from numbers using a specific code or prefix referred to in Article 16(3a); and
(b) to stop automatic call forwarding by a third party to the end-user’s terminal equipment.
