POLICY FRAMEWORK • White Paper on Energy Policy – Dec 1998 • Policy Challenges - The need to Achieve: • An efficient and internationally competitive industry • An environment conducive to synergistic investment in the liquid fuels industry • Meaningful inclusion of those interests that have been historically disadvantaged • Vision for the future: • South African black interests will assume their rightful place in the affairs of the industry.
POLICY FRAMEWORK • White Paper on Energy Policy – Dec 1998 • Cornerstones of future Government policy: • Black Economic Empowerment reflected in the composition of the industry at all levels and significant domestic black ownership or control in all facets of the industry. • Tariff protection for vulnerable sectors where justified by cost-benefit analysis. • Key milestone for phasing in of deregulation: • Sustainable presence, ownership or control by historically disadvantaged South Africans of approximately a quarter of all facets of the liquid fuels industry or plans to achieve this.
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES • Liquid Fuels Empowerment Charter – Nov 2000 • Stemming from the White paper, the charter was developed to provide: • “Framework for progressing the empowerment of historically disadvantaged South Africans in the liquid fuels industry” • Definitions of HDSA, ownership, control and sustainability are incorporated • Areas are identified which will assist in reaching these goals, eg, Supportive Culture; Capacity Building; Public and Private Sector Procurement
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES • TWO MODELS FOR EMPOWERMENT • BEE owned and controlled from inception - grow business through strategic partners and contracts • Exel • Calulo/Total Renaissance • Sanoco & Econ • Various smaller service providers to the industry • Equity purchase by BEE group into existing Oil Majors • Worldwide/Engen/Afric Oil • Thebe/Shell/Tepco • MIC/WDBSA/BPSA
ISSUES & CONCERNS • Policy is heading in right direction • Amendments to Petroleum Products Act eagerly anticipated • Mineral & Petroleum Resources Development Bill – access to BEE in upstream activities • Definitions and accreditation system for BEE must be finalised (BEECom, BEE Act etc)
ISSUES & CONCERNS • Minister’s proposed Compliance & Monitoring Advisory Committee to create system for overall recognition, incentives & penalties • Problem now is to ensure that policy is implemented
ISSUES & CONCERNS • Unintended Consequences • Price formulation changes (IBLC) • Cross-cutting issues • State Procurement of Liquid Fuels • Refunds on slate levy • Duty at source and import/export policies • Provincial legislation/regulations (Environmental Impact Assessments) • Role & influence of strategic partners • Home-grown small BEE companies must not be destroyed in merger processes.
EXPECTATIONS • SHORT TERM • Actively take steps to be aware of and avoid unintended consequences and cross-cutting issues • Timing is vital for BEE sustainability, don’t delay interventions where identified • Formalise BEE policy • Establish accreditation system
EXPECTATIONS • LONG TERM • Tilt the playing fields • Closely monitor progress • Ensure policy is flexible to meet changing needs • Incentivise & reward genuine empowerment undertakings
WAY FORWARD • Continue and improve dialogue & interface between government and industry • Always be aware and act swiftly on cross-cutting issues and unintended consequences
