lo26071010 Law 33/2014, of 27 November, the creation of the public company Andorra Telecom, s.a.u., since the General Council in its session of 27 November 2014 has approved the following: law 33/2014, of 27 November, the creation of the public company Andorra Telecom, s.a.u. preamble and After its creation in 1967 and a first Statute approved by the General Council on 7 August 1975 Organic Statute, the force of the Andorran telecommunications service (STA), approved by the General Council on 25 April 1984, defines it as an entity of public law, with legal personality and with autonomous organization, own patrimony and full capacity for the development of their purposes, without prejudice to its relationship to the organs of the general administration in the manner and to the extent provided for in the statute or in the special provisions enacted that are applicable.
In accordance with article 3 of the Organic Statute, the object of the Andorran telecommunications service (STA) is the management and exploitation, exclusively, of telecommunications services in general and, in particular, telephone services, data transmission, telex, radiotelefònics or other supplementary or auxiliary services of telecommunication in the Andorran territory, even as it refers to international communications , both with regard to the existing services at the date of approval of the Organic Statute as regards those who might install in the future.
According to the same article 3 of the Organic Statute, the Andorra telecommunications service (STA) is also responsible for the management of the technical infrastructure and national networks of sound broadcasting and television.
The Organic Statute the telecommunications service of Andorra (STA) was amended on 30 December 1981; and the Organic Statute in force, of 25 April 1984, has been amended three times, specifically the 11 November 1986, on 30 June 1994 and on December 15, 2005.
All modifications of the Organic Statute in force today were limited to certain specific aspects, without ever addressed a global change.
In particular, the amendment by the law enacted on 30 June 1994 introduced a one-off change that influences company in article 5.4. h) and deleted the paragraph 2 of article 11 of the Statute. These changes had the aim to make it possible for a performance and a flexible management of the company, but were limited to empower the Government to review or set the prices of the services provided by the Andorran telecommunications service (STA).
And the amendment to the law 15/2005, of 15 December, was confined to the content of article 5.2 of the Statute, organic, and consisted of enlarging the composition of the Board of Directors of the company and to make possible the participation of people with specific knowledge in the meetings of that body.
II through a substantial modification of the Statute of the institution of public law Andorran telecommunications service (STA), this law responds to the need to establish a new legal framework for the provision of various types of telecommunication services in the Principality of Andorra, which in the future will provide a public company wholly owned State, under the legal form of company stock or limited company , under the name Andorra Telecom, s.a.u., which is attributed in the same regime of exclusive enjoyed until now the entity of public law Andorran telecommunications service (STA), the public service management of communications and its technical infrastructure.
The exclusive character in favour of the State that traditionally has been the provision of communications services should not constitute a limitation of the possibilities of action in the sector. The rapid evolution that takes place in an environment deeply changing highlights the difficulties of management by a public entity or company, subject to the operational rigidities imposed by the nature of the entity in its current form and the rules of public law that are applicable to a public law institution of intrinsic way.
The important evolution and the profound transformations in the sector in recent years have revealed that the management of the service must be made under the company's criteria, in this case of public company, in order to respond adequately and flexible to new challenges posed by the market of electronic communications.
The inadequacy of the current legal form, in the form of entity of public law, highlights in various aspects of the activity of the Andorran telecommunications service, in constant evolution and with new trends, with the consequent of a capacity of adaptation and larger reaction with respect to the provision and the innovation of services, infrastructure and commercial actions. You need to add-there are, equally, the need to diversify, anticipate and explore new markets and business models and also the possibility of extending the activity beyond the national territory.
The processes of recruitment and of economic and financial management, and human resources policies, also are strongly limited and conditioned in an entity of public law which, by their nature, form part of the Public Administration sector and is subject to procedures that are often characterized by a rigidity incompatible with the management of an entity of a field as dynamic as that of electronic communications.
III in short, it is necessary to provide the service provider of communication services for more flexibility and agility in decision-making processes and performance in order to face future challenges with guarantees of electronic communications in a continuously changing environment, and should be done by ensuring the universality of the Internet communications services and fixed and mobile telephony, as well as business continuity by means of a suitable legal instruments , and giving the management of electronic communications services to the society for actions or limited company that creates this law under the name of Andorra Telecom, SAU.

The achievement of the objectives listed on the one hand, and the maintenance of the State property of the service on the other hand, is carried out successfully with the creation of the State-owned public company, which will develop its activity in accordance with the rules of private law, without prejudice to remain subject to financial control, and the obligations of budgetary consolidation in the terms established by the general law on public finance.
