The Economic and International Affairs Scrutiny Panel has launched a follow-up review to conclude last year's scrutiny of the demerger of CICRA (Channel Islands Competition and Regulatory Authority) and the future operation of the JCRA (Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority) as an independent entity.
Whilst the review was not completed in 2020 due to competing workloads and the previous Chair's resignation, the reconstituted Panel has agreed to complete this review with focus on JCRA's future work rather than the demerger of CICRA.
CICRA was created in 2010 as an administrative arrangement between the JCRA and the GCRA (Guernsey Competition Regulatory Authority) to share costs and expertise to work more efficiently across the two Islands. The Panel will incorporate information and evidence gathered from the previous review into its report as background.
