MOU with ACCC
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the IASC and the ACCC
A new MOU was signed with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on 9 December 1997. It replaces the MOU of 7 August 1996.
The new MOU clarifies the roles of the IASC and the ACCC when assessing competition issues associated with applications to the IASC for Australian air route capacity, particularly when examining commercial agreements between airlines.
The intention of the MOU is to coordinate the competition objectives of the two bodies and to avoid overlap and duplication.
The MOU reflects the Policy Statement issued by the Minister for Transport and Regional Development in April 1997 which sets out matters relevant to the IASC's performance of its functions.
The ACCC is an independent body which promotes competition and fair trading and provides for consumer protection
Email Notification
The Commission provides an email notification service for interested parties which includes copies of applications, determinations and decisions in Acrobat format. If you require an email notification, please send an email to contact@iasc.gov.au indicating your interest, organisation and contact details.
The Commission maintains a Register of Public Documents for all applications. Copies of virtually all documents placed on the Register are available by email from the Commission.
Register of Available Capacity
The Government, through the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, continues to have the responsibility for administering and negotiating Australia's air services arrangements. In this role, the Department is responsible for maintaining a Register of Available Capacity for use by the Commission and applicants. This register details the capacity available under each air services arrangement, and is updated to reflect changes in capacity entitlements arising from new negotiations and determinations by the Commission. The Department is also responsible for making operational decisions that authorise carriers to fly on each route based on the Commission's determinations.
