Mr. Matthew Collins:

Definitely - most European countries would use it but it is not an absolute rule that must be applied. Again, there are different perspectives. Some people like to have a choice of service provider. If we are going to remove competition, can we be satisfied that we are able to achieve a more cost-efficient service for householders because they will ultimately end up paying the collection charges? That is one of the issues flagged in the CCPC report, which we are taking as one of the inputs into the policy review we are commencing.
