Code:
skrynesaver@busybox ~/tmp$ cat tmp.data
Name ; prefixnumber ; number
root ; 020 ; 1234567
user1,2,3 ; 070 ; 7654321
skrynesaver@busybox ~/tmp$ awk -F' ; ' '{print $1 " ; +"$2$3}' tmp.data
Name ; +prefixnumbernumber
root ; +0201234567
user1,2,3 ; +0707654321

Works for gnu awk which can take multi-char delimiters

Code:
BEGIN {
    FS=" ; ";
    OFS=";";
    getline;
    print;
}
{
    gsub(/,/, "-", $1);
    sub(/^0/, "+31", $2);
    print $1,$2$3;
}

Should work with any version of awk. The getline and printmake sure that the header line is unaltered.

If you have a better solution let me know, but this works fine too.
Quite close:
Code:
 awk '{a=$1;gsub(/ /,"");gsub(/,/,"-",a);sub(/^0/,"+31",$2);print a""FS$2$3}' FS=";" file
