We had a body there lately where the remuneration of the chief executive was not made public.
Chapter 3 of the scheme concerns the transfer of functions, namely, the transfer of functions of unfair trading practices enforcement authority, UTPEA, under the UTP directive to the office and also provides that anything commenced under the directive before the office is established may be continued.
Head 35 carries over any existing UTPEA contracts or agreements to the office.
Head 36 transfers any assets or liability of the UTPEA to the office.
Head 37 designates the office as the enforcement authority for the purposes of the directive and requires it to fulfil obligations under the directive.
Head 38 carries over certain obligations of the enforcement authority under the directive's Article 5 regarding complaints.
