13 Digital Impact Test

  • Does the measure take account of changing digital technologies and markets?

  • Will the measure be applicable in a digital/online context?

No, as above

  • Is there a possibility the measures could be circumvented by digital / online transactions? Alternatively will the measure only be applicable in a digital context and therefore may have an adverse impact on traditional or offline businesses?

No, as above.
