Early termination of extension of transitional period
6.—(1) The Commission may, at any time before the expiry of an extension of the transitional period granted to the parties to an agreement, terminate the extension if —

it has reasonable grounds for suspecting that any information provided to the Commission under regulation 4 was incomplete, false or misleading in a material particular;
(b)
it has reasonable grounds for believing that there has been a material change of circumstance since the granting of the extension;
(c)
any of the parties contravenes any condition imposed on that party by the Commission under regulation 5(1)(a) or by the Board under section 73(8) of the Act on an appeal under regulation 9; or
(d)
the Commission receives a complaint about the agreement from any person who is not a party to the agreement, which, in the opinion of the Commission, ought to be investigated into.

(a)
give written notice of its intention and its grounds for the proposed termination to each of the parties; and
(b)
give the parties at least 14 days to make written representations to the Commission.
(3) Any termination of the extension of the transitional period shall take effect on a date specified by the Commission and, subject to regulation 7(1), as of that date, the parties shall no longer enjoy the immunity given by regulation 3(1).
(4) Any document required or permitted to be given, sent or served under this regulation shall be given or sent to or served on each of the parties and regulation 8(1) shall not apply.
