Statement: Electronic Communications Code – Proposed Template Notices resulting from Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 amendments to the Code

Statement published 17 April 2023

Having carefully considered stakeholder responses to the January Consultation, we have decided to make a small amendment to the notice required under paragraph 17, as modified by paragraph 5A of Schedule 2 to the Digital Economy Act 2017 to remove the requirement to include the name of the site provider. We consider that this is not required as a result of the Code amendments made by the PSTIA and as noted by respondents, could potentially identify an individual where the site provider is not a company.

Aside from this change, we have decided to publish the final notices in the same format on which we consulted in the January Consultation. We explain our decision in more detail in Section 2 of this Statement and append the final template notices to this Statement.
