General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion

Mr. Robert Mourik:

In a nutshell, that is what this general scheme describes. We like the difference of the court not making the decision on the fine, for example, because the court then needs to take our advice on what the level of the fine should be. The court also looks at many other things whereas ComReg, as an expert regulator in the field, can determine quite well the most proportionate fine in a particular case.
