Our guests have made the point that, to date, no complaints have been made under the provisions of the Competition Act 2002. We are informed that this is the case because the system involved is adversarial in nature and the complaint must come from the individual. Our guests have also made the point that the Competition Authority can initiate proceedings. However, the authority would have to become aware of a difficulty in the first instance. Will our guests explain the position on implementation of the European code and the high compliance costs they have identified in the context of the draft code presented by Mr. Travers?
