Paragraph 3 Issuing the designation certificate
Where—
an application has been made under paragraph 2;
the applicant has paid any fee charged by virtue of paragraph 4(1); and
the Regulator is satisfied that the requirements of regulation 15(2) are met with respect to the switching service to which the application relates;
the Regulator may issue a designation certificate declaring the switching service to be an alternative arrangement (and identifying the operator of that switching service).
