13 December 2007 Dear Colleague GUIDANCE ON THE APPLICATION OF THE COMPETITION ACT 1998 IN THE WATER AND SEWERAGE SECTORS - CONSULTATION I enclose a consultation on our revised guidance on the application of the Competition Act 1998 in the water and sewerage sector. The guidance was originally published in February 2000 just before the Competition Act 1998 came into force. Since then, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and some of the other concurrent regulators have updated their guidance to take account of such things as changes in EC competition law, and the Enterprise Act. We have updated our guidance to take account of these factors, as well as the Water Act 2003 and the introduction of the water supply licensing regime (WSL), and the change to Ofwat's structure (becoming the Water Services Regulation Authority). Responding to this consultation We welcome comments on the guidance in writing to: Laura Drew Competition Team Ofwat Centre City Tower 7 Hill Street Birmingham B5 4UA Phone: 0121 625 1353 Fax: 0121 625 1400 Email: Laura.Drew@ofwat.gsi.gov.uk Please respond by 13 March 2008. Data use statement for responses All responses will be placed in the Ofwat library and on our website and made available to the public unless you clearly ask us not to. In general, we will honour this request but there may be circumstances in which, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the public interest requires that all responses are made public. Yours sincerely Keith Mason Director of Regulatory Finance and Competition  |
