Position of the ICP in relation to the carrier invoicing service to be supplied by PT

The position of the ICP in relation to the carrier invoicing service to be supplied by PT was approved on the 18th of November 1999 and consists of the application of the following principles:

a. The selected supplier shall be entitled to invoice the end user directly;

b. Portugal Telecom shall be obliged to invoice the end user whenever requested by the selected supplier through the established conditions of supply ("Set of Items" - point IX. A.2.1) during a transitory period that ends with the introduction of Pre-selection;

c. Whenever requested, Portugal Telecom must make joint invoices available for groups of operators who reach this agreement among themselves (point IX.5 das "Determinations to make the RIO 2000 project more suitable to the set of items to be included in the RIO 2000https://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=5588")and also present a payment proposal;
 
d. As Portugal Telecom intends to satisfy the said determinations there is nothing to stop suppliers of carrier services from establishing commercial agreements of diverse content with that company, which, under the terms of the fundamental principle of contractual freedom, do not require the prior intervention of ICP;

e. There is no foreseeable reason why the issue of an autonomous invoice by Portugal Telecom should depend on the presentation of a contract between the fixed telephone service carrier and the subscriber.
