The effect of specification under paragraph 16(1) is to provide the Office of Fair Trading with a power to supersede, vary or release any such undertaking instead of the Secretary of State.\nArticle 4 provides for consequential amendments to the terms of the undertakings so that the Office of Fair Trading may provide consent, approval or agreement in place of the Secretary of State.\nCopies of the merger undertakings and press notices referred to in the Schedule to this Order may be obtained from the Consumer and Competition Policy Directorate, DTI (telephone: 020 7215 5009; e-mail: paul.banister@dti.gov.uk).
