Mr. Adam Larragy:

I do not foresee that happening immediately with the Bill. We have identified two areas. First, is the independence of public service media. This is provided for in Article 5 of the regulation. Part 7 of the Broadcasting Act 2009, which deals with the independence of public service media, broadly covers that, but we need to look at the matter in further depth. Second, the media mergers regime is not provided for in the Broadcasting Act or the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill . Rather, it is dealt with in the Competition (Amendment) Act 2002. What is in the proposed regulation from the Commission broadly reflects what we already have in our national regulatory regime. As the negotiations progress, we will need to continue to examine whether any small amendments to the Competition (Amendment) Act are needed.
