The Ministry of Telecommunications and the Information Society has opened a public consultation on its draft Institutional Regulatory Plan for 2026. The initiative aims to collect feedback from various sectors of society to improve the proposed plan.

According to the ministry, this process follows national policy directives established by the President of the Republic, which recognize regulatory improvement as a national policy. The purpose is to ensure proper government regulatory management, enhance quality of life, encourage competitiveness and entrepreneurship, promote economic efficiency, and guarantee transparency and legal security in the country.

The consultation also aligns with Ministerial Agreement No. MPCEIP-MPCEIP-2024-0079-A issued on October 17, 2024. In this agreement, the Minister of Production, Foreign Trade, Investments and Fisheries established guidelines for implementing state policy on regulatory improvement. Article 11 states: “The purpose of public consultation is to ensure that the regulatory body has as much information as possible provided by those regulated and that these understand the problem, options for addressing it, possible compliance mechanisms, associated benefits, impacts and risks.”

Feedback submitted through this participatory process will be analyzed and may be included in the final version of MINTEL’s Institutional Regulatory Plan 2026.

Members of the public can submit their input until Monday, February 11, 2026. Contributions can be made through an online form or via the Dialogue 2.0 platform.
