Questions to Ministers

Esterhuizen, Mr JA to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry

Whether he has found that the provision of incentives, such as subsidies and tariff protection, which remove competitiveness in the industry, has an impact on the weak levels of economic growth in the country?

It is an over-simplification to suggest that ‘subsidies and tariff protection remove competitiveness in the industry’.

(i) The dti’s incentives are carefully designed so as to improve the competitiveness of the beneficiary company and – over time – the competitiveness of industries.

For example, the Manufacturing Competitiveness Enhancement Programme (MCEP) was designed to assist firms which, after the Global Financial Crisis, were facing declining demand in traditional export markets and heightened import competition in South Africa’s domestic market. the dti offered matching grant funding to qualifying companies intending to invest in inter alia:

Buildings, machinery and equipment,
Improving company-level electricity and water generation and/or usage,
Undertaking specialised skills development, and
Product development to access new export markets.

By providing incentives to firms undertaking these types of investments, the dti is precisely targeting support to those activities which it is widely agreed, will raise firm-level competitiveness.

Over time, those firms that received the incentive should see an improvement in their competitiveness and may begin to win additional market share in the domestic or export market.

Those firms which have not made these kinds of investment may lose market share and through competition will eventually be forced to consider making competitiveness improving investments of their own, accept the loss of market share/profits, or find other markets for their products.

In this way, the dti will have directly supported the competiveness improvement of Company A through the provision of a subsidy. In addition, the dti’s support to Company A may – over time – induce substantial new investments from Companies B, C, D, and E which represent the industry as a whole, and thereby the competitiveness of an industry may improve.

(ii) South Africa has adopted a developmental approach to tariffs and has ensured that tariffs are used as a policy tool to support industrial development. In addition, South Africa adopts a case-by-case approach to tariffs based on the needs of each sector.

Consider the case of South Africa’s Automotive sector. It is widely held that the industry and local firms are highly competitive and are regular recipients of global quality and productivity awards. This happens even though South Africa maintains modest tariff protection for the Automotive sector. In these specific circumstances, the domestic Automotive sector firms compete with one another vigorously and are constantly looking at ways to improve their competitiveness even though they benefit from tariff protection.

There are however cases where tariff protection can remove competitiveness from industry. Consider a product such as soybeans which is used to produce poultry feed. Imposition of, or maintenance of a tariff on soybeans while South Africa’s agricultural sector is unable to grow enough soybeans to satisfy local demand will indeed reduce the competitiveness of the downstream industry (in this case poultry).

To avoid such a situation arising, Government assesses tariff protection in a rigorous process and considers a wide range of socio-economic factors across stakeholders before deciding to reduce, increase or impose tariff protection. In addition, Government may decide to provide a rebate of a particular tariff for a specific amount of time. Such a rebate is designed to avoid the competitiveness-reducing effect of a tariff in the soybean example while not forfeiting Government’s policy space to impose a tariff at a later date when circumstances may necessitate such an intervention.

(ii) the dti has found that the provision of carefully designed incentives (including tariff protection) has substantially contributed to South Africa’s economic growth.

For example, for every R1 in investment incentives provided by the dti, approximately R4 in investment is provided by private-sector investors. Thus, in the 2017/18 Financial Year, the dti’s incentives encouraged 849 firms to commit R35bn in private-sector investment.

Put differently, Government’s economic policy which includes the provision of incentives and tariffs, creates an enabling business environment which sustains 1.4 million formal and informal jobs in the Manufacturing sector.

Consequently, the support afforded by the dti to industry has supported economic growth and job retention especially in the period after the Global Financial Crisis.

(1); (a), (b) (i)(ii); (aa) (bb), (aaa) (bbb),

The provisions for international official journeys for members of the executive and their spouses (alternatively one adult family member) are set out in Chapter 6, section 2 of the Ministerial Handbook. The provisions provide for an accompanying spouse or adult family member on international official journeys undertaken by a member of the executive.

No adult family member other than the Members spouse, Mrs Davies, accompanied the Member on official international duties.

In the past five financial years and the period from April 2018, the Member completed 66 official international work trips and was accompanied by his spouse on 8 occasions at an average cost of R53 037,50.

The purpose of the international work was to promote South African trade and investment interests. Details of the various international work undertaken by the executive member can be found in the dti Annual Reports, various reports to the Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry, reports in the media and the dti website, amongst others.

The provisions in the Ministerial Handbook also provide for the personal staff in a Ministry to accompany the executive member on official travel abroad. During the period under review, staff from the personal office rarely accompanied the executive member on official travel abroad.

(2) There is no provision in the Handbook that requires the President to approve spousal travel.

Steyn, Ms A to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry

(1)Whether, with reference to his undertaking during the joint sitting of the portfolio committees on Health, Trade and Industry and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries on 28 March 2018, that his department would provide rehabilitation relief to businesses in the meat processing industry that are in distress, he and/or any senior official within his department have met with the specified businesses to understand their needs; if not, why not; if so, what were the findings; (2) whether his department conducted a full analysis of the impact the listeriosis outbreak had on the (a) meat processing industry and (b) rest of the value chain with respect to (i) job losses and (ii) revenue losses; if not, why not in each case; if so, what were the findings in each case; (3) (a) what is his policy position on the establishment of an independent food health and safety agency to align all areas of food handling and manufacturing regulation and (b) what action will he take to support the existence of such an agency?

1. The lead Department for health and food safety is the Department of Health. Once the National Institute for Communicable Diseases had established the existence of listeriosis in South African meat processing plants the National Consumer Commission issued a recall notice under the provisions of the National Consumer Commission (NCC) and in the over-riding interests of public health.

thedti has an existing agro-processing incentive to which companies in the meat sector can apply. Each application will be dealt with on its merits including with respect to whether or not the company has raised food safety and health standards and commits to raising competitiveness. Senior officials from the Department of Trade and Industry have met with the South African Meat Processors Association (SAMPA) where this was explained.

2. thedti has conducted a preliminary economic analysis of the impact the listeriosis outbreak on the meat processing industry. This preliminary analysis will be followed up with a more comprehensive study to determine the wider economic and employment impact. Preliminary research to date suggests that the pork industry is the hardest hit. The demand for processed meat has dropped by 75% and the demand for pork cold cuts by 50%, with an estimated decline in profits of 40%. According to data from the Pork Producer’s Organization, two plants and one abattoir have closed down.

3. (a) thedti fully supports the formation of a Food Safety Agency and at the time of the outbreak immediately instructed the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) to begin the process to develop the requisite regulation.

(b) The South African Constitution provides for food safety control as a concurrent function, across national government departments and at provincial and local government levels. The Departments of Agriculture, Health and Trade and Industry have existing concurrent functions to enhance food safety and consumer protection with the Department of Health as the lead department.

The fact that some part of the private sector allowed a highly deleterious lowering of standards in food safety, points to the need for a strengthened and consolidated approach by government. It is for this reason that the dti is working with the Department of Health, Department of Forestry and Fisheries other national departments and the National Regulatory for Compulsory Standards (NRCS) to establish a Food Safety Agency, with an attendant regulatory framework.

Government’s view is that the long term sustainability of the food sector and its ability to safeguard jobs, rests on an optimal health and safety standards regulatory framework, and enforcement by government.

1. In accordance with the provisions of Statement 005 of the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice, issued in terms of Section 9(1) of the B-BBEE Act, the B-BBEE Status level of Measured Entities are determined by Accredited Rating Agencies, through the issuing of Verification Certificates. Said Verification Certificates are valid for 12-months from date of issue, based on verified information requested by and supplied to the Accredited Rating Agency by the Measured Entity.

B-BBEE Status is determined through evaluation against the B-BBEE Scorecard contained in the Codes of Good Practice, measuring the participation in and recognition of black people in Ownership, Management Control, Skills Development, Enterprise and Supplier Development and Socio Economic Development.

2. The question on G4S BBBEE credentials was brought to the attention of the dti before the establishment of the Office of the BEE Commission. Following the establishment of this Office, all BBBEE potential fronting cases were handed over for further investigation. Therefore, further investigation into the G4S BBBEE credentials is being conducted by the office of the BEE Commissioner.

Reply:

a) The CIPC system authenticates individuals against valid Identity Number supplied from the Home Affairs database. This is done either through electronic or biometric validation against the Home Affairs (DHA) database. The DHA is the owner of all Identity Number database.

b) The CIPC is only aware of 2 instances of different Identity Numbers for a single individual.

c) The CIPC does not have the right to record or amend any particulars in the Population Register. The status awarded to the CIPC by the Director-General of the Department of Home Affairs in terms of section 6 of the Identification Act No. 68 of 1997 is that of right to access to authenticate individuals exclusively against their Identity Number and any associated bio-metrics.

Macpherson, Mr DW to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry

(a) Why has the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) failed to allocate funding towards animal welfare groups, specifically the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for the past two financial years, (b) What are the detailed reasons and rationale behind this decision and (c) What plans does his department have in place to assist animal welfare organisations, as these groups rely solely on funding from the NLC and the public in order to provide free services and assistance in poor communities?

Source

Reply:

a) The National Lotteries Commission annually publishes priority areas to ensure more focused funding and maximum impact of the funds allocated. Priority areas are published yearly and available on the NLC’s website. There is continuous work done to ensure that beneficiaries are aware of priority areas and the NLC holds regular Indabas and Post Indaba Stakeholder Engagements with its beneficiaries to ensure that they are aware and actually contribute to the decisions of this nature.

b) Due to the limitation of funds and the increasing demand for assistance by non-profit originations, the NLC’s funding is aligned to the published priority areas to ensure more focused funding and maximum impact on funding allocated. The result is therefore that some funding areas get affected by this categorization.

c) The NLC held a meeting with NSPCA and fully explained the position relating to priority areas. A budget has been ring-fenced from the miscellaneous category of funding for the national body to apply on behalf of its branches.

1. B-BBEE promotes the achievement of the constitutional right to equality, within the historical context of race being used to control access to South Africa’s productive resources during apartheid. The increase of effective participation in the South African economy by the majority of South Africans previously denied such is envisioned, so as to promote the stability and prosperity of the economy in the future to the benefit of all South Africans, irrespective of race.

The examples higlighted of safe houses and children homes for B-BBEE purposes finds insight in the Socio Economic Development element which has a 75% black beneficiary base target. Qualifying Socio Economic Development Initiatives which has a maximum of 25% white beneficaries will enjoy 100% recognition under the Socio Economic Development Element. Black South African citizens as well as White people are thus recognised for the promotion of Socio Economic Development on the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice. The intent of such donations are crucial as B-BBEE can not be a tick-box exercise.

2. Code Series 500 of the Amended B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice which is the Socio Economic Development pillar extensively documents the requirements for B-BBEE recognition. Eligibility is determined through measurement of:

(i) the specific objective with which the contribution was made; and

(ii) the black beneficiary percentage benefiting from the contribution.

3. . The B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice were gazetted, and thus became effective on 09 February 2007. The Codes were subsequently amended. The Amended B-BEE Codes of Good Practice came into effect on date of gazette thereof, being 11 October 2013. An 18-month transition period was however granted for entities whom wished to be rated in terms of the 2007 Codes of Good Practice to allow them to adopt B-BBEE strategies which speak to the Amended Codes, should it wish to. The election option expired on 01 May 2015.

4. As per Question (1), white children and white disabled persons are not excluded from Socio Economic Development recognition for B-BBEE purposes.

5. -BBEE Measurement is informed by a balanced scorecard, of which the measurement of Ownership makes up only 21.19%. Furthermore, the targets contained within all of the elements are not absolute, i.e none of the elements have a 100% target for black participation. The employment of and financial and social contributions to a white person therefore does not disadvantage a business looking to obtain B-BBEE points.

(1) B-BBEE is not an exception to the principle of equality in terms of section 9 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa:

In fact, section 9(2) of the Constitution states that:

“Equality includes the full and equal enjoyment of all rights and freedoms.

To promote the achievement of equality, legislative and other measures designed to protect or advance persons, or categories of persons, disadvantaged by unfair discrimination may be taken.”

In promoting equality as envisaged above, the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act No. 53 of 2003 (“the Act”) was enacted and subsequently amended by the B-BBEE Amendment Act No. 46 of 2013. The Act as amended and the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice constituted the legislative and other measures which are designed to protect or advance persons or categories of persons disadvantaged by unfair discrimination.

Section 14(1) of the Act entrust the Minister of Trade and Industry to make regulations with regard to:
- Any matter that in terms of the Act may or must be prescribed;
- The lodging of complaints with the BEE Commission;
- The conducting of investigations by the Commission;
- The information that any organ of state, public entity or private enterprise is required to provide to the Commission and the form and period of such reporting;
- Requiring all broad-based black economic empowerment transactions above a prescribed threshold to be reported to the Commission; and
- Any ancillary or incidental administrative or procedural matter that is necessary to prescribe for the proper implementation and administration of the Act.

Section 14 (2) of the Act provides as follows:
- The Minister may by notice in the Gazette issue guidelines and practice notes relating to the interpretation and application of the Act.

(2) B-BBEE is an integral part of the principle of equality in terms of section 9 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa;

- In terms of the Statement 000 of the B-BBEE Act 46 of 2013, as amended-

- Paragraph 12: Duration of the Codes

A Code remains in effect until amended, substituted or repealed under Section 9 of the Act.
The Minister may review the Codes at any stage and regular reviews will take place to monitor the implementation of BBBEE throughout the economy

b) The SABS conducts testing as part of conformity assessment in line with the prescripts of ISO 17 000. Testing falls into 3 categories as follows; Third Party Testing where a product complies fully with a standard and the testing activities were conducted by an independent third party (SABS); Second Part Testing where the SABS tests products on behalf of another institution which defines the required specification and First Party Testing where the SABS provides product development support to manufacturing companies.

The SABS Mark continues to be issued. Companies that hold an expired SABS Mark can continue to use it even if it has expired. A SABS Division was created in 2017 to deal with the backlog and provides access to laboratories all over the country to test products as well as provide the necessary governance and assurance oversight of these SABS conformity assessment services.
The management of the SABS has not provided a satisfactory response containing the requisite information. I have written to the SABS management demanding that they do in fact provide an urgent response to the Department of Trade and Industry.
No calculation of this cost has been undertaken.

GSSSD RESPONSE:

(1) Yes, the Department has a Sexual Harassment Policy in place.

(i) According to the dti Sexual Harassment Policy’s reporting procedure, employees who are of the view that they may have fallen victim of sexual harassment are strongly encouraged to report the case directly to the Manager: Employment Relations or the Manager: Quality of Worklife. All such reports are treated in the strictest confidence and are dealt with in a sensitive and supportive manner. Upon receiving the complaint (due to its employment equity-related nature) the matter is referred to the focal person for Employment Equity and Transformation for thorough investigation. A report with findings and recommendations is compiled and submitted to the Deputy Director-General responsible for employment equity, for implementation.

(ii) Due to the sensitivity and seriousness of sexual harassment, the disciplinary procedure is utilised to address the complaint. In problematic cases of sexual harassment involving sexual assault such as rape, molestation, attempted rape or physical assault, the alleged harasser is suspended with full pay pending the outcome of the disciplinary hearing.

For cases such as attempted rape, molestation, physical assault, rape or persistent harassment, the Chairperson of the disciplinary hearing uses the Disciplinary Code and Procedure to determine the sanction. The victim of sexual assault has the right to open separate criminal and/or civil claims against the alleged harasser and the employer. The legal rights of the complaint are in no way limited by the dti Sexual Harassment Policy.

Reply:

The Ministerial Handbook provides guidelines on the appointment of the staff in the Private Office. It equally provides the recommended salary levels of each post. The salary levels are adjusted on an annual basis as prescribed in the Public Service Regulations.

The Office of the Minister has a staff complement as defined in the Ministerial Handbook. In line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPi) and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act I am unable to provide the members with such confidential information in the manner it is requested.

I however draw the honourable members to the department’s Annual Report wherein the organogram of the department provides the information required. Should it be insufficient, the department will make the personal files of the officials available for further scrutiny by the Auditor General as prescribed by the Act.

Shivambu, Mr F to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry

With reference to the reply to question 3470 on 9 November 2017, (a) what is the name of each person transacting on behalf of the trust, (b) what is the name of each beneficiary of the transaction in respect of the trust, (c) what is the total amount that has been transferred, (d) who is the owner of each trust and (e) on what date was each transaction registered?

Reply:

In response to PQ 3789, the list of transactions registered as at 21 November 2017 is attached as Annexure A. As the B-BBEE Commission does not register trusts but major B-BBEE transactions, we outline the process for registration of major B-BBEE transactions below:

The Explanatory Notice issued by the Commission on 13 June 2017, pursuant to the threshold for major B-BBEE transaction the Minister of Trade and Industry issued on 9 June 2017 in Notice No. 551 in Government Gazette No. 40898 (“Notice”) prescribes documents that must accompany B-BBEE18 for registering a major B-BBEE transactions, which includes trust deeds where applicable.

As of 21 November 2017, the B-BBEE Commission has received two hundred and nineteen (219) major B-BBEE transactions for registration and of these seventy-five (75) involve trusts. Each trust deed identifies the trustees and important to note that not all trusts have undergone the process of registration at the Masters office as at the date of registration of a major transaction.

Further, the Explanatory Notice requires any party to the transaction to register the transaction to the B-BBEE Commission. Most of the transactions are either registered by the party which sells shares or an asset to black people or a third party nominated by the party (ies) to the transaction such as consultants or attorneys.

Furthermore, we wish to advice that there are three types of transactions:

Transactions concluded prior to the amendment of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act 53 of 2003. In terms of the Notice, parties to such transaction are encouraged to voluntarily register the transaction. These are not mandatory to register.

Transactions concluded as of 24 October 2014 when the amended Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 46 of 2013 came into effect. The Notice required such transaction to be registered within sixty (60) days from date the threshold was gazetted. The B-BBEE Regulations require the B-BBEE Commission to assess each transaction upon registration.

Transactions registered within fifteen (15) days of being concluded. The B-BBEE Commission will not be able to determine the value that black people derived, because the transaction is at an infant stage.

The B-BBEE Commission will publish a report annually of these transactions which will provide details that will include the value and benefits to black beneficiaries, who in essence are indirect shareholders through a trust. The obligation to report major B-BBEE transactions only commenced on 9 June 2017, and the B-BBEE Commission is in the process of registering and assessing in line with the Notice.

With reference to his reply to question 3174 on 30 October 2017, what (a) service was provided by each service provider and/or contractor and (b) amount was each service provider and/or contractor paid for services procured by his department or entities reporting to him in the past five years?

Due to the detailed information requested for the department and its entities per order issued during the past 5 years it will unfortunately not be possible to provide a meaningful response within the limited time frame allowed in responding to Parliamentary questions.

The information requested is not readily available and supporting documents will have to be requested from archives filed off site.

Further to that it should also be noted that the BEE status level as requested per supplier will not cover the 5 year period and that the department previously recorded and reported on the HDI status of suppliers. The software system that was used at that stage is no longer in existence as it has been discontinued with the implementation of the Central Supplier Database hosted at National Treasury.

Based on the above it is proposed that the department be allowed more time to gather information and that a response be submitted directly to the member.

Trusts are registered through the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.

The B-BBEE Commission does not register trust funds and as such has no access to such trust funds.

(1) (a) (2) (a) (b) (3) (a) (b) (c)

The department and its group of entities procured a variety of goods and services over the past 5 years, ranging from leasing accommodation, consultant services, travel and transport, ICT related goods and services etc. The quantum of these individual transactions run into the thousands on an annual basis, for example the department alone processed an approximate 6,805 transactions during the last 12 months. The same can be said for the entities.

Goods and services are classified in accordance with its SCOA classification or on the nature of the goods and services procured. This information is reported in the Statement of Financial Performance in the Annual Financial Statements of the department and the entities.

Goods and services are procured using the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and Regulations. The Regulations prescribe the preference points that can be claimed in accordance with the BEE status level of the supplier. This approach is a scorecard approach rather than purely an ownership approach.

Prior to 1 April 2016, goods and services were procured from suppliers registered on the departments own supplier database. With effect from 1 April 2016, National Treasury has implemented the Central Supplier Database (CSD) that has made it compulsory for government entities to use only suppliers registered on this database. The CSD maintains data on expenditure categories and supplier information.
