Violations and administrative penalties to be imposed on violators

The decision of administrative violations and penalties identifies 18 types of administrative
violations and penalties that range in value from 10 to 150 thousand dirhams depending on
the type and nature of the violation.

According to the resolution, TDRA may impose administrative violations and penalties and

financial fines on natural persons (individuals). The resolution stipulates that any natural
person who makes marketing phone calls for products or services in his name or the name of

his client through a number of a fixed or mobile phone that is licensed in the name of such,
will be subject to a fine of AED 5,000 and in addition to suspending all numbers of fixed or

mobile phones that are registered under the natural person's name until the payment of the
outstanding fine amount. The penalty shall be increased to AED 20,000, in addition to cutting

all numbers of fixed or mobile phones that are registered under the natural person's name for
three months in case such person commits the same violation within 30 days from the date of

signing of the first administrative penalty. It will become AED 50,000 and any service from the
telecommunications companies that are licensed in the State will be denied for 12 twelve
