It is not excluded the freer pricing policy to change ОТЕ's plans for sale to the Bulgarian branches Globul and Germanos, but for now there is no official position on the question. At the moment, ОТЕ has moved 100 million euro for the construction of a very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL). It is partially created, but cannot be put into exploitation due to regulatory obstacles. The National Committee for Telecommunications has not approved the retail prices yet, offered by ОТЕ, although the deadlines for the final decision were a month ago.
The European Commission criticized severely the over-regulation on the Greek market. The European body sent a letter to the National Committee for Telecommunications, informing the supervising body, that it should give more freedom to the main market operator to define retail prices, so that not to disturb the balance between ОТЕ's expenses for investment and income from sales.
