The powers to investigate will be strengthened. Can the witness explain that to me? Obviously resources will be required in order to carry out a proper investigation and to track and enforce the competition rules. Can the witness remind me about the independence of the budgets? If the CCPC does not have the budget to carry out the investigations they cannot be carried out properly. Are there elements within COM (2017) 242 which provide for a certain independence of budget that might guarantee the possibility of planning?
