Language of the case: German

Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: Verbraucherzentrale Berlin eV

Defendant: Vodafone GmbH

Operative part of the judgment

Article 30(5) of Directive 2002/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on universal service and users’ rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (Universal Service Directive), as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009

must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘initial commitment period’ referred to in that provision covers both the duration of the initial contract concluded between a consumer and a provider of electronic communications services and that of a subsequent contract concluded between the same parties and such that that subsequent contract may not impose a commitment period exceeding 24 months, including when it was signed and put into effect before the expiry of the initial contract.
