T-Hrvatski Telekom, (Reuters: THTC.L, HT.ZA; Bloomberg: THTC LI, HTRA CZ, ‘the Group’), Croatia’s leading telecommunications provider, announces an update on the abolition of the 6% fee on mobile networks services that came into effect from 1 January 2012. The fee was originally introduced on 1 August 2009 as a crisis measure.
Following a session of the recently elected Government held this morning, and according to the official Government web site (www.vlada.hr), the Government’s proposal to reinstate the fee under the Fee for the Provision of Mobile Electronic Communications Networks Services Act was approved.
The proposal will go before the Croatian Parliament and come into force after publication in the Official Gazette. It will be valid until 30 June 2013, when Croatia is expected to accede to the European Union.
