CICRA is the name given to the two Channel Islands regulatory authorities, the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority and the Guernsey Office of Utility Regulation. A memorandum of understanding was signed in December 2010 to facilitate closer working between the two authorities.

Both regulatory bodies were established in 2001. The JCRA was established under the Competition Regulatory Authority (Jersey) Law 2001 and the OUR was established under the Regulation of Utilities (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2001. In Jersey, the telecoms and postal sectors are regulated by the JCRA, which is also responsible for administering and enforcing the Competition (Jersey) Law 2005. In Guernsey the telecoms, postal and electricity sectors are regulated by the OUR. Since September 2010, the two regulators have started to work much more closely together and this website is designed to improve access to information on competition and regulatory issues across the Channel Islands.

The aim of both authorities is to ensure that consumers receive the best value, choice and access to high quality services, while the JCRA has the added responsibility of promoting competition and consumer interests.
