As there are no further members indicating, I have a question for both ComReg and the CCPC on the issue of staffing and costs. If the EU directive is transposed and the new powers of deterrence and enforcement are made available, will there be a need for additional specialist staff? If so, how many staff will ComReg and the CCPC require? A linked question is whether the witnesses foresee a need for increased funding. What level of increased funding would be required annually?
