    Once ECC has received your complaint, it will check whether the Complaint meets the requirements as mentioned above.

    If the Complaint meets the requirements as mentioned above, the Complaint Manager shall acknowledge the receipt of the Complaint to the Complainant in writing at the latest within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Complaint and start internal investigations.

    If the Complaint does not meet the requirements as mentioned above, the Complaint Manager shall ask the Complainant to revise the Complaint within ten (10) Business Days. If the requirements are still not met after the Complainant has revised the Complaint, the Complaint Manager shall reject the Complaint in writing.

    ECC will respond to your Complaint within forty (40) business days from receipt of the Complaint. Where, in exceptional cases, it is not reasonably possible for the Complaint Manager to meet the deadline due to the nature or complexity of the matter referred to him or her, the Complaint Manager shall inform the Complainant promptly in writing (“Textform”) of this fact and provide a further deadline while taking the interests of the Complainant and the need for swift processing into account.
