<p>The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has led on this work in the
context of the European Electronic Communications Code Directive. The Directive was
finalised and published in December 2018 after negotiations and is required to be
transposed into domestic legislation by 21 December 2020. A public consultation was
launched in July 2019, closing in September 2019 with a Government response published
in July 2020. The draft transposition statutory instrument was laid in Parliament
via the affirmative procedure on 12 October and passed by Parliament on 10 November.
No further body was required to be created or designated as a competent authority
as part of transposition as Ofcom acts as the telecommunications regulator in the
UK.</p>
