EXPLANATORY NOTE 
(This note is not part of the Order) 
Section 25 of and Schedule 4 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (“the Act”) 
provide for the creation of the Competition and Mar kets Authority (“CMA”). Section 26 of and 
Schedules 5 and 6 to the Act provide for the abolit ion of the Office of Fair Trading (“OFT”) and 
the Competition Commission (“the Commission”) and f or the transfer of functions from the OFT 
and the Commission to the CMA. 
Part 4 of the Act makes various changes to the comp etition functions which the CMA will 
assume. In particular, the Act amends Part 3 (merge rs) and Part 4 (markets studies and market 
investigations) of the Enterprise Act 2002. 
This Order makes consequential amendments to a numb er of enactments in connection with the 
commencement of Parts 3 and 4 of the Act on 1st Apr il 2014. 
Article 1 provides for citation, commencement, inte rpretation and extent. Article 1(3) provides 
that the amendments and repeals in the Order have t he same extent as the enactment amended or 
repealed. 
Article 2 gives effect to Schedule 1. Schedule 1 ma kes consequential amendments in connection 
with the transfer of functions to the CMA and the a bolition of the OFT and Commission by 
substituting the CMA for the OFT and the Commission  in a number of enactments. It also makes 
amendments consequential on the amendments to compe tition law made under Part 4 of the Act. 
In particular, Schedule 1 specifies amendments to t he sector specific legislation (e.g. gas, water, 
rail) under which regulators such as the Office of Rail Regulation, the Gas and Electricity Markets 
Authority, are given competition functions concurre ntly with the OFT under Part 4 of the 
Enterprise Act 2002. Schedule 1 also makes conseque ntial amendments to the sectoral legislation 
in connection with the transfer to the CMA of the C ommission’s role in receiving references of 
regulatory matters. 
These amendments supplement the amendments already made to the sector specific legislation 
by Schedule 6 (regulatory appeals etc: minor and co nsequential amendments) and Schedule 14 
(Regulators: use of powers under the 1998 Act) to t he Act. 
Article 3 and Schedule 2 make transitional and savi ng provision in connection with the transfer 
of functions from the OFT and the Commission to the  CMA. 
The impact assessment completed for Parts 3 and 4 o f the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform 
Bill, introduced to Parliament on 23rd May 2012, co ntains an assessment of the effect that the 
reforms to the competition regime will have on the costs of business and the public and voluntary 
sector and can be found at the website:
