The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has issued a consultation draft policy rule setting out when telecom providers will be treated as having met their information obligations under Article 7.2ab of the Telecommunications Act.

This gives compliance teams a practical safe harbor and signals enforcement focus on passive-contract customers and loyalty-based price discrimination.

ASIC's Form RL31 is the mechanism registered liquidators must use to notify the regulator of inaccuracies in annual liquidator returns, annual administration returns, and end of administration returns. The notice must be lodged within ten business days of when the liquidator could reasonably be expected to be aware of the event, and late lodgement attracts fees. Compliance teams at firms that provide or rely on insolvency services should confirm that their processes can meet this deadline. The document is an existing form and guide, not a new rule, though it is presented as a press release dated 2026-09-16.
