Ms Isolde Goggin:

We very much appreciate the interest of the committee. That interest is obvious from the debate and level of engagement we have had and the way in which people are getting stuck into this issue and really understanding it. What we would like to see coming out of this is an enforcement regime that is straightforward, simple and pretty much on par with what goes on across the board in Europe and which gives us the powers our colleagues have. We are very conscious that giving us powers of this scale and scope is a big deal. We absolutely understand our responsibility to exercise those powers judiciously, proportionately and within the law. We will absolutely commit to using them within those constraints, but to the best of our ability to procure the best deal for consumers and the public purse.
