where:

For each lines business (including Transpower)β€”

(e) customer communication: the lines business, during the period from the publication date to the second assessment date, is toβ€”

(i) properly advise (or ensure that another person properly advises on its behalf) its customers about the price-quality trade offs available to them in relation to the goods and services provided by the lines business; and

(ii) consult (or ensure that another person consults on its behalf) with its customers about the quality of goods and services that they require, with reference to the prices of those goods and services; and

(iii) properly consider the views expressed by customers during and after that consultation; and

(iv) adequately take these views into account when making its asset management decisions.

(2) If during the period from 31 March 1998 to 31 March 2004 a lines business is involved in a purchase, merger, takeover, disposal, or other transaction, which results in a change in its total customers or system length of 10% or more, subclause (1)(a) and (b) will apply as if the transaction occurred on 31 March 1998.

(3) Despite the other provisions of this clause 6, if the Commission is satisfied that, because of lack of information, it is not practicable to determine whether a lines business has complied with subclauses (1) and (2), the lines business will be regarded as having complied with the quality threshold if it demonstrates beyond reasonable doubt, by use of an alternative approach that has equivalent effect to those subclauses, that the substance of those subclauses has been complied with.
