So while there will be synergies for one overall regulator the two separate paradigms of regulation will still have to exist under the same roof. The US solution of having commissioners at the top can be adopted and separate commissioners appointed to govern each branch of regulation as the case may be so while cost savings are gained by shared resources for administration such as HR mgt, training, anti trust and financial cost modelling. competition policy and investment conditions and concession may still require divergent remedies.
