Mattresses, phone offers, equipment purchases... Law: You don't want

For mattresses, car insurance, offers on televisions, appliances, or even phone packages... We often answer them, but we also hang up. For many citizens, promotional messages or phone calls, sent at any moment of the day by various companies, have become a nuisance. 

With the draft law submitted for public consultation "On the Creation of the Register of Unsolicited Commercial Communications", the Ministry of Economy, Culture and Innovation aims to establish rules for this market.

For promotional messages, phone calls and e-mails offered by service companies in the country to citizens without their approval, they will be recorded in a register called the register of unsolicited electronic commercial communications in order to resolve this issue.

"It's normal that it's disturbing, to interrupt the work we're doing on the other hand and our data."

"There is some mistake in these concerns about establishing certain rules. They should not be done without the request of citizens."

"Sometimes we are interested in these calls, sometimes we are not. But trade is free. This is how it is done abroad as well."

Following complaints from citizens to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, a register will be created with all the names of those who do not wish to be contacted, which will be accessible by service companies. But to access the register, service companies will have to pay.

For these commercial entities that make promotional calls for marketing and advertising purposes, they will be required to pay a certain fee to access the registry.

The draft law stipulates that promotional messages will only be carried out within a certain time interval, from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and that commercial communication will not be carried out on weekends and during official holidays. (A2 Televizion)
