Statement to the Commerce Commission Concerning International Commitments in the Telecommunications Domain
To: The Commerce Commission
Pursuant to section 19A of the Telecommunications Act 2001, I hereby transmit to the Commerce Commission the following statement of the economic policy of the Government concerning New Zealand’s international commitments in relation to telecommunications.
Government Policy Statement
International commitments in the telecommunications domain
-
The Telecommunications Act 2001 as amended in 2006 provides for a competitive market for telecommunications services in New Zealand and mandates an important, pro-active role for the Commerce Commission in achieving this objective.
-
Through bilateral and multilateral international agreements and arrangements, New Zealand has made and continues to make commitments in respect of the regulation of telecommunications services.
Economic Policy Statement
-
It is the economic policy of the Government that decisions concerning the regulation of telecommunications services should be consistent with, and take full account of, New Zealand’s relevant international commitments, as expressed in bilateral and multilateral international instruments in effect in New Zealand.
-
In the Government’s view, compliance with these commitments facilitates trade in telecommunications goods and services, assists the development of telecommunications infrastructure, and promotes competition in telecommunications markets for the long-term benefit of end-users of telecommunications services within New Zealand.
-
As at the date of this statement, the bilateral and multilateral international instruments in effect in New Zealand relevant to the regulation of telecommunications services include but are not limited to:
(a) International Telecommunications Union (ITU):
(i) Constitution and Convention of the ITU 1992;
(ii) International Telecommunication Regulations;
