The BIPT blames the operator Sewan for not having correctly completed the register of premium rate numbers enabling consumers to identify the service providers using 070X and 090X premium rate numbers.
For the infringement found, the BIPT imposes a fine of EUR 85,000 on Sewan Belgium.
Update:
- In its Decision of 24 May 2022, the BIPT blames Sewan for not having correctly completed the register of premium-rate numbers enabling consumers to identify the service providers using 070X and 090X premium-rate numbers. For the infringement found, the BIPT imposes a fine of €85 000 on Sewan Belgium.
- In its Judgement of 8 March 2023, the Market Court confirms the infringement but partially annuls the Decision of the BIPT Council of 24 May 2022 insofar as it imposes a fine on Sewan the amount of which is not sufficiently justified. The Market Court refers the case back to the BIPT Council so that it gives a new ruling on that amount.
- In its Decision of 4 July 2023, the BIPT reduces the fine imposed on Sewan to €17 950 following the judgement of the Market Court of 8 March 2023.
- In its judgement of 20 March 2024, the Market Court rejects the aggravating circumstance set out in the Decision of 4 July 2023 (Sewan's knowledge of the new regulations) and reduces the fine to the basic amount.
