Section 1: Overview, Appropriations and Budget Measures Summary

OVERVIEW

The role of the National Competition Council (NCC) is to implement and monitor National Competition Policy and related reforms embedded in informal agreements and frameworks developed and agreed to by all Australian governments. Its responsibilities include the promotion and public awareness of government competition reform agendas, recommending the `declaration' of access to infrastructure under Part IIIA of the Trade Practices Act 1974, and assessing whether States and Territories have made satisfactory progress towards competition policy reform.

The NCC vision is to provide professional consultancy services to governments and to continually seek creative solutions for reform, competition and progress performance review that will result in greater economic growth, less unemployment, better social outcomes and the better use of resources for all Australians. The above vision is embodied in the Council's mission: `To help raise the living standards of the Australian community by ensuring that conditions for competition prevail throughout the economy that promote growth, innovation and productivity'.

APPROPRIATIONS

Total appropriations for the NCC in the 1999-2000 Budget are $3.1 million (see Table 1.1).
