Since the beginning of his work (from 2001), he has been developing and unifying the law enforcement and regulatory activities of the National Media and Infocommunications Authority and its predecessors, paying special attention to the legality of the work of the authority and of market regulation, and to the theoretically sound development of the legal practice of the authority.
