        self-limiting TELEFONICA S.A. (Spain) in the decisions of its competitor
        TELECOM

        addition and as it arises from the evidence included in these proceedings,
        the
        stake of TELEFONICA S.A. (Spain) in TELECOM ITALIA S.p.A. results from a
        commercial and industrial plan involving the strategic expansion of such
        company
        in European and Latin American markets, the importance and transcendence
        of
        which should be subject to evaluation by regulatory bodies with jurisdiction,
        especially taking into account that the purchase of one company by the other
        may
        impact the market and therefore, clients, competitors and third party
        shareholders, under the provisions of Sections 14, 16, 17, 42 and 75 subsection
        18, among other sections, of the Argentine Constitution.</font></div>

        this
        transaction entails the risk of violating and impairing rights and in the
        need
        to know about the significance of the transaction executed under the regulatory
        rules of telecommunications and antitrust laws in force in the country,
        supervision by public utilities and competition protection control bodies
        should
        be effectively exercised to determine the potential effects of a prospective
        concentration transaction promoted by TELEFONICA ARGENTINA S.A. in the
        communications and other markets in Argentina.</font></div>

        and taking into account the deep analysis to be conducted in the chain of
        control of TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A. upon TELEFONICA S.A. (Spain) joining it
        and
        the necessary definition of powers and duties of both companies, this authority
        should -at this point of the proceedings- order the appointment of two
        inspectors who are to be present at TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A. to collect all
        the
        documents and information related to the economic transaction discussed herein
