Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003

The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 is a law in the United Kingdom which made it unlawful, amongst other things, to transmit an automated recorded message for direct marketing purposes via a telephone, without prior consent of the subscriber.

This is somewhat similar to the US Do not call registry.
