Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I move amendment No. 17:

In page 21, line 27, to delete "approved" and substitute "published".

This amendment arises from amendments made on Committee Stage to the provisions relating to the terms and conditions of the universal postal service provider. It clarifies that a universal postal service provider must comply with its terms and conditions, which have been "published" rather than "approved" under sections 22 and 23 of the Bill. The change is necessary to cover the first six months after the passing of this Bill, during which the terms and conditions will have been published but not approved by ComReg. It is essentially a drafting amendment.
