SCHEDULE 9Transitional provisions for Part 3
Regulatory conditions applicable as from appointed day
5
1
This paragraph applies to licence conditions—
a
which apply immediately before the appointed day to the universal service provider or other postal operators, and
b
which contain provision of a kind that (but for this paragraph) could not be contained in any regulatory condition under Part 3.
2
The provision made by those licence conditions is to be regarded for the purposes of Part 3 as being capable of being imposed by a regulatory condition under that Part (to be known as a “transitory condition”).
3
Accordingly—
a
the references in paragraph 4 to initial conditions include transitory conditions, and
b
paragraph 4(2) and(4) apply in relation to those licence conditions as they apply in relation to other licence conditions.
4
A transitory condition is (as a result of this sub-paragraph) to be treated as revoked at the time when the first universal postal service order under section 30 comes into force.
