The Ethical Committee for Premium Rate Services and the ombudsman together form a self-regulatory organisation for premium rate services which is meant to assist the providers of these services, consumers, network operators, authorities and media in matters concerning premium rate services. The actions of the Committee are based on the basic set of norms for providing premium rate electronic services, legislation in force and regulations from authorities.
The task of the Ethical Committee for Premium Rate Services is to create and maintain good and ethically acceptable conduct in the provision of premium rate electronic services among those operating in the field.
