A mechanism for reporting anomalies concerning a value-added number enables consumers to report in a clear, precise and comprehensible manner:
1° If one or more of the items of information that must appear in the tool provided for in article L. 224-43 are absent, inaccurate, obsolete or incomplete;
2° If the associated service does not comply with the ethical rules laid down by the operator;
3° If the consumer is unable to exercise his right to complain or if there are malfunctions.
An order by the Minister for the Economy specifies the procedures for the submission of reports by consumers in order to ensure their reliability.
The operator mentioned in the first paragraph of the same Article L. 224-43 takes these reports into account to ensure the proper performance of the contract with the subscriber to whom it assigns a value-added number.
