According to the bill, when purchasing a PrePay phone card, customers must present their ID card to mobile operators who must store their identity data.
Users have six months to provide their identity information to be registered by operators, or else their phone numbers may be suspended.
The proposition was put forward by several democrat liberal deputies, who argued that over 90% of emergency calls made in 2010 were false and more than half of them were made by PrePay service users.
On June 7, the Senate’s committee for legal matters drew a negative report to the bill. The Government also said it does not support the proposition.
The Chamber of Deputies has the final say on this bill.
