The Annex to that Decision contains a list of specific numbers within this numbering range and the services for which each number is reserved. This list may be adapted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 22(3) of Directive 2002/21/EC.

Moreover, two services, namely Child Helplines and Emotional Support Helplines, have been identified as services of social value that may benefit from harmonised numbers. For these reasons, Decision 2007/116/EC should be updated and additional reserved numbers introduced.
(3) Decision 2007/116/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Communications Committee,
