Something that is really important in the legislation is that it gives the capacity to amend and adapt the unfair trading practices that are listed as we go along. It is essential that we take feedback and monitor what is happening in the marketplace. We must work to ensure there is fairness and no unfair practices. Where we identify practices that need to be addressed or included, we will do so. For now, it is prudent and appropriate that we work off the European benchmark, to which a lot of thought and consideration has been given. When we have the new office up and running and there is the means and capacity to assess the experience of what is happening already and the work the current unfair trading practices, UTP, unit and directive are doing, we can adapt as we go.
