Proposed Approach for Review
The Review of the Authorisation and Clearance Provisions of the Commerce Act will require a whole-of-government process led by the Ministry of Economic Development, in consultation with Treasury, Commerce Commission, Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Justice, and others as appropriate.
The Review will also require input from industry, Commerce Act practitioners, and other interested parties. To garner this input, the Ministry proposes to run an "advisory group" process, whereby identified stakeholders are consulted on the potential issues and solutions. This will assist the Ministry in drafting a discussion document. The Ministry proposes that full public consultation will then be undertaken through the release of a discussion document canvassing the issues and options to proceed, with a formal submission process.
