(b) costs specific to interconnection services,

Monitoring of
interconnection
tariffs
77. (1) Operators having significant market power
shall attach to the draft reference interconnection
offer submitted to the Authority a detailed
presentation justifying the main tariffs proposed
and once the harmonized method for calculating
interconnection costs has been adopted, the
operators shall use that method to provide the
requested justification.
(2) The Authority shall ensure that the methods
and data used are valid, and as required, it shall
request the operator having significant market
power to adjust its calculations to rectify errors
identified.
(3) If an operator having significant market power
fails to provide the justifications required, the
Authority may, in the operator’s stead evaluate the
costs based on the information available to it.
(4) The Authority shall ensure that tariff setting for
access and interconnection in so far as the
operators having significant market power are
concerned is cost-oriented and, as appropriate,
that the fees payable by consumers are not
dissuasive.
Communication
of information to
the Authority
78. (1) Operators having significant market power
shall communicate to the Authority, at least once a
year, the basic information required for checking
the calculation of interconnection costs.
