In accordance with CERA's Regulatory
Decision 04/2014 concerning the Operational Unbundling of the EAC's activities,

Services and any other non-regulated activities. The Head of the Non-Regulated
Activities Unit answers to the General Manager of the EAC.

Implementing the EAC's strategy to help
it achieve its goals.

Regulatory decisions.

and constant evaluation of all projects, so that the services offered are
competitive with those offered by the Cypriot and international markets.
