 agreements involving such operators. An operator is presumed to have SMP if it meets the requirements set out in the UEC. in the respective telecommunications services market. Our operations in Ukraine are deemed to have SMP and are subject to these regulations. In addition, the UEC introduced a new SMP regulatory framework which increased the NCEC’s authority to analyze communication services markets to determine SMP operators. If the NCEC identifies certain SMP factors, regulatory obligations and/or restrictions may be imposed on respective MNOs (including controls on wholesale and retail tariffs and infrastructure sharing). The list of such regulatory obligations and the procedure for their application are in line with the Electronic Communications Code of the EU and do not go beyond the EU requirements. Mobile Number Portability On May 1, 2019, mobile number portability (“MNP”) was implemented in Ukraine to provide customers with the ability to transfer their mobile numbers from one telecommunications network to another. Changes to MNP procedures were initiated by the National Commission for the State Regulation of Communications (the former name of NCEC), which became effective on December 1, 2021, which allowed the subscribers to switch operators without prior identification by the existing operator in order to minimize barriers for transitioning between operators. 104 Data Protection According to the current law “On Protection of Personal Data,” personal data is defined as the information or aggregate information about a natural person who is identified or may be identified ( e.g., name, ID number and passport data). The transmission of personal data usually requires the transferor to obtain consent from the person whose personal data is being transferred. The party to which the personal data is transferred is required to have implemented the requirements of the law “On Protection of Personal Data.” Personal data may only be transferred to foreign parties in the specific cases stipulated by applicable law or an international treaty and usually where an adequate level of personal data protection is provided by the relevant foreign state. Chapter XV of the UEC requires that telecommunications operators and providers ensure, and assume responsibility for, the protection of the confidentiality of information concerning customers that was made available to them at the time of entering into a telecommunications services agreement. Information concerning the consumer and the services they have received may be disclosed only in accordance with the procedures defined by the law. In all other cases, such information may only be disclosed subject to the customer’s written consent. Draft Law No. 8153, dated October 2022, aiming to align Ukrainian data protection legislation with the EU GDPR, was adopted by the Parliament of Ukraine in the first reading
