- Automation of company registration system
- Annual registrations is growing from 15% to 20% pa
- Backlog feel from 8 weeks in 1998 to less than 1 week in 1999; revenue exceeds Cost by R2Om, ie 2:1 ratio and revenue is growing faster than Cost
- SAPTO - application growth of 10% pa - backlog is high priority target
- Number of investigations and prosecutions in terms of the National Inspectorate - in 1998/99 58 investigations with a potential of RI 04m recovery identified. Recovery of between 6% to 10% of GElS payments (Nat Inspectorate) -about R1 b recovered since 1993

- SAPTO's key innovation - introduction of data management system, called Ptolerny as from late 1999 - address Y2K
- Expanding National Inspectorate and providing training programmes to meet new challenges
Consequences of a 4% Reduction
- Backlogs will emerge in SACRO and the Competition Commission, and will not be reduced in SAPTO
- The development of better consumer and company law will be seriously delayed.
Competition Commission / Tribunal
- Two juristic persons – each with its own Acc. Officer to replace the Competition Board
- Objectives:
- Provide opportunity for equal participation in economy
- Achieve a more effective/ efficient economy
- Provide for markets where consumers have freedom of choice iro quality
/ variety of goods and services
- Create greater capacity and provide an environment for effective
competition in international markets
- Restrain particular trade practices which undermine a competitive
economy
- Regulate the transfer of economic ownership in keeping with public
interest
- To give effect to international law obligations of SA
- Competition Board was an advisory body whereas the Comp Commission / Tribunal have authority to:
- authorise mergers or prohibit a merger
- Prohibit contraventions of restrictive practices and abuse of dominant
positions
- Adjudicate in relation to prohibited conducts in the Act whether prohibited
conduct has occurred and if so, to impose remedy
- In-depth investigations to be undertaken – much larger staff complement needed compared to Competition Board
- Competition Board did not have same interventionist mission – this implies a high level of litigation that is reelected in a mush larger budget for legal costs
- Research Centre for investigations is required – to give effect to international law obligations
- Proper independence of the Competition Commission & Tribunal necessitated separate office blocks
