Part V: Summary


Review of Regulatory Control Provisions Under the Commerce Act 1986: Discussion Document

Ministry of Economic Development
[ Last Updated 30 March 2007 ]


This Part summarises two possible options for change which are based on the options identified in Chapter 10. However, note that potential amendments can be packaged in various different ways (e.g. retaining the status quo for some components, but amending other components) and it is not "all or nothing".

The main difference between the two options presented here, is that Option One (which involves less change from the status quo) allows for sectors to be placed under a thresholds regime, while Option Two removes the thresholds regime but allows sectors to be controlled. Option Two also allows firms to propose control terms to the Commission for its consideration.

A summary of these options, and brief consideration of the costs and benefits of these options, are presented in this Part.

A further cost-benefit analysis of options may be undertaken once submissions have been considered.  The provision of specific, quantified information by submitters on costs and benefits will assist the Ministry in undertaking any cost-benefit analysis.
