The relevant EU regulation on the matter is this[1]:
> The porting of numbers and their subsequent activation shall be carried out within the shortest possible time on the date explicitly agreed with the end-user. In any case, end-users who have concluded an agreement to port a number to a new provider shall have that number activated within one working day from the date agreed with the end-user.
My legalese is not good enough to understand what this means. The original text from the 2009 Telecoms Package[2] is worded slightly differently. Maybe member states failed to achieve the original intent and it was weakened to the current wording (as indeed, it takes longer than a day in many EU countries).
