FCC Approves a Merger

Between Uranium One Inc

and Mantra Australia

ARTICLE/EDITORIAL

The Fair Competition Commission (FCC)has approved a Merger between UraniumOne Inc. and Mantra Australia. The saidmerger was approved without conditions on1st March, 2012.

The Applicant (Uranium One Inc.) is aCanadian firm, with its head office inToronto, Canada. It has other offices in the

United States of America, Almaty, Kaza-khstan, Adelaide, Australia and South Africa.It is engaged in exploration, mining and pro-duction of uranium and development of ura-nium properties worldwide.

On the other hand, the Target firm(Mantra Australia) is an Australian companywith its registered offices in Melbourne, Aus-tralia. It is a holding company focused onuranium mining. Mantra Australia ownsMantra Tanzania Limited. The latter is theowner of Mkuju River Project, located inSouthern Tanzania.

The Commission approved the merger onthe strength of the acquiring firm’s commit-ment, expertise and desire to create a world-leading diversified uranium productioncompany with high quality mines and devel-opment projects.

Technical analysis of this merger appli-cation allayed fears of any possibility for themerger to create or strengthen a position ofdominance in the relevant defined market,thereby qualifying for unconditional ap-proval. The analysis revealed further thatthere was no possibility for the post mergerfirm to act unilaterally and harm competitionin the relevant market.

The Fair Competition Act, 2003, (theFCA) requires a person to notify a merger ifit involves turnover or assets above thresholdamounts which the Commission shall specifyfrom time to time by Order, in the Gazette,calculated in the manner prescribed in theOrder. Failure to notify a merger is an offenceunder the Act.

According to Section 11 of the Fair Com-petition Act (No. 8 of 2003), the FCA, andthe current merger notification order, allfirms with combined asset value or annualturnover starting from TShs. 800m/- shouldnotify to the Commission of their intentionto merge in order to remove the possibility ofthe resulting firm to strengthen a position ofdominance in the relevant market. A mergeris prohibited if it creates or strengthens a po-sition of dominance in a market.

Mergers are considered in the context ofa “market” which may be affirmed in termsof both geographical and product to mean amarket in Tanzania or part of Tanzania andrefers to the range of reasonable possibilitiesfor substitution in supply or demand betweenparticular kinds of goods or services and be-tween suppliers and acquirers or potentialsuppliers or acquirers.

FCC Sensitises SUA MBA Agribusiness

Students on Consumer Protection Issues

The Fair Competition Commission has addedto its stock addition group of stakeholderswho have benefitted from awareness activitiesit undertakes when it sensitized the SokoineUniversity of Agriculture’s MBA Programmestudents on consumer protection initiativesbeing carried out by the Commission vide theFair Competition Act (no. 8 of 2003) at Uni-versity Campus on 22nd February, 2012.

Two FCC officials, Senior Communica-tions and Public Relations Officer, Mr. FrankMdimi and the Senior Consumer ProtectionOfficer, Mr. Joshua Msoma, made presenta-tions at the session. They highlighted on thebackground to establishment of the Fair Com-petition Commission as a Market support in-stitution responsible for exercising marketoversight on competition and consumer pro-tection matters.

Giving the general overview of the tran-sitional economy, Mr. Mdimi said that the es-tablishment of the modern market oversightregime in Tanzania came into play in responseto the country’s shift from a centrally plannedto a market based economy, which also ne-cessitated the establishment of a modern reg-ulatory regime for utility and infrastructurefirms. The shift deemed mandatory due to thefact that the centrally planned economy failedto yield intended results due to dismal per-formance of the state owned enterprises.

The training further intended to introducestudents to analysis of consumer protectionefforts as a necessary ingredient in increasingconsumer welfare in the total welfare dynam-ics.

Presenting a paper on consumer welfare,Mr. Mdimi noted that consumer protectionand competition policies are largely interde-pendent instruments of economic policy,aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the mar-ket economy.

Mr. Mdimi explained that consumer wel-fare is, in economic terms, a consumer sur-plus, which refers to the difference betweenthe amount the consumer would be willing topay for the product and the actual price of theproduct. “Consumer protection applies a setof principles and processes aimed at ensuringthat the consumer reaps substantially in theconsumer welfare component of the total wel-fare in the economy”, explained Mr. Mdimi.

The SUA students community alsolearned on local and international consumer

protection movements, Tanzania’s consumerprotection legal framework under FCA andthe inclusion of consumer protection provi-sions in the Regulatory Authorities throughthe Consumer Consultative Councils.

Senior Consumer Protection officer, Mr.Joshua Msoma highlighted that the Fair Com-peittion Act has over 40 out of 154 provisionson consumer protection. This means that con-sumer protection occupies the largest part ofthe FCA, whereas other provisions relate toCompetition matters, establishment and func-tions of the Fair Competition Tribunal as wellas the National Consumer Advocacy Coun-cil.

He noted further that consumer protectionprovisions in the FCA subscribe to the UNGuidelines for Consumer Protection thatformed UN Resolution No. 39/248 passed on9th May, 1985. The Guidelines provide acommon framework for the development andevaluation of consumer policy to UN memberstates.

FCC, which has about twelve lawyers, allbeing admitted to the Bar as Advocates, fi-nances their participation to EALS and TLSin order to make them active Bar Members.FCC sets aside an annual budget for accom-modating its lawyers to named professionalbodies by paying for their professional annualfees and direct costs for participating in meet-ings, conferences and professional develop-ment training sessions conducted by theseprofessional bodies.

Additionally, with a view to enabling itslawyers to be active members of such profes-sional bodies, it also facilitates them to be ac-quainted with the dynamics of modern legalissues and challenges evolving all over world.The development stems from the fact thatLegal profession is dynamic and keeps takinga new shape, twists and turns alongside othersectors. Social and economical changes, tech-nological advancements and globalization, allhave a share in the dynamic mode of the legalsector. Since FCC is not an island, its lawyersare being empowered to be aligned in a com-petitive manner that would enable them faceand cope up with emerging challenges.

5 LAWYERS’ MEETING

FCC Lawyers Attend EALS

and TLS Meetings

The Fair Competition Commission Lawyersattended the East African Law Society(EALS) and Tanganyika Law Society (TLS)Meetings in November 2011 and February2012, respectively.

The President of the East African LawSociety, Dr Wilbert B.

man.The keynote address was supplemented

by further addresses of distinguished lawyersin Tanzania.

The theme generally looked at issues ofcombating the delay of justice (especially ad-ministering of the Criminal Procedure), theEvidence Act and on how the Acts promoteor hinder the efficient and effective adminis-tration of Civil Justice in Tanzania Mainland.

Hon. Chief Justice elobarated a lot onproblems which have been leading to thedelay of justice in the courts. He insisted thatthe court is not only to be blamed in the delayof justice delivery as lawyers and, even partiesto suits, are also a party in the share of thedelay blames. Presentations of experiencesfrom the bench and the bar exposed a lot ofcauses of delay which included corruptionand procedural laws, taking for example en-tertaining of unfounded preliminary objec-tions.

FCC Staff Get A Brush Up onProcurement Principles

TECHNICAL staff of the Fair Competition

Commission (FCC) had an important capac-

ity building training on procurement issues

from 16th to 20th March, 2012. The course,

which was held at the Commission’s main

Conference Hall, was administered as a par-

tial fulfillment of the internal performance

improvement effort to the staff, who are key

stakeholders of the Commission’s Procure-

ment Management Unit (PMU).

The training need was prompted by the

Public Procurement Regulatory Authority

(PPRA) through results of its earlier assess-

ment of the Commission’s compliance status

with PPRA processes, procedures and

guidelines. The assessment called for the

need to improve the Commission’s compli-

ance level with PPRA principles, thereby

improving the quality of procurement under-

taken by the Commission.

Issues relating to general overview of

public procurement, procurement manage-

ment information system, quality assurance,

contract management as well as record

keeping were areas of central importance in

the training package.

The training also aimed at assisting the

Commission in plugging possible loopholes

for corrupt activities that the Government of

the United Republic of Tanzania relentlessly

endeavour to deter.

During the training, that was overseen by

trainers from the PPRA, it was reiterated that

the Government championed for the enact-

ment of the Public Procurement Act 2004

and established the PPRA, replacing the reg-

ulatory function of the former Central Ten-

der Board, with a view to ensuring that the

public funds give value for money for goods

and services the Government entities buy or

pay for. It was noted that significant meas-

ures to curb and control illicit behavior in

the procurement and other processes have

been initiated by the Government, represent-

ing an important step in the evolution of

Tanzania's public procurement system and

the PPRA.

“Public Procurement” encompasses the

whole process of acquiring goods and/or

services. It begins when an organization

identifies a need and decides on its procure-

ment requirement. Procurement continues

through the processes of risk assessment,

seeking and evaluating alternative solutions,

contract awarding, delivery of and payment

for the goods and/or services and, where rel-

evant, the ongoing management of a con-

tract and consideration of options related to

the contract. Procurement also extends to the

ultimate disposal of property at the end of its

useful life. This huge responsibility call for

consideration and observance of ethics and

probity throughout the entire process.

Key to developing any good procure-

ment system is understanding the mission

and goals of the overall organization, the

role played by the sub – entities within the

overall structure and the relationships

among the various entities. At its core, pub-

lic procurement is first and foremost a sys-

tem. It is therefore important that, at a

minimum, the public procurement system

design should encompass key elements of

procedures, standard documents, regula-

tions, and an appropriate legal framework.

The training was attended by different

levels of employees ranging from evaluation

team members, members of procurement

management units, senior Procurement offi-

cers, members of the Commission’s Tender

Board and other technical staff.

7 CONSUMER ISSUES

FCC Step Up AntiCounterfeit Swipe

The Fair Competition Commission has

stepped up the swipe against counterfeit

goods in the first quarter of 2012 by under-

taking a number of raids on premises sus-

pected to stock counterfeit goods. Head of

Anti-Counterfeit Enforcement at the Com-

mission, Advocate John Mponela told the

FCC Newsletter that the Commission under-

took several dawn raids in January, February

and March in Dar es Salaam and Mbeya re-

spectively.

“The operations aimed at seizing Products

which were found to be contravening the pro-

visions of the Merchandise Mark Act, 1963,

as amended (MMA). Products involved in-

cluded; Counterfeited Urea fertilizers, HP

Toner Cartridges, Phillips ironing device,

Nokia phones as well as Vee Rubber Tubes,”

said Mr. Mponela.

In an operation carried oout on 11th Janu-

ary, 2012, and in another one carried out in

March, 2012, the Commission also netted

about 1,578 counterfeited HP tonner car-

tridges and other electrical appliances includ-

ing counterfeited Phillips ironing devices.

The Commission carried out another raid

on shops suspected to stock counterfeited

Urea fertlizer under the flagship of “CHAPA

MALI” brand. A total of about 90 bags of

counterfeited fertilizers were seized. The op-

eration was carried out as a result of a com-

plaint lodged by M/S YARA vide their

Attorneys, NEXLAW, that their clients’ prod-

ucts were being counterfeited.

“The Commission also carried out a raid

at Kariakoo area on 30th and 31st march,

2012 in search of counterfeited NOKIA brand

mobile phones and Vee Rubber tire tubes. A

total of 88 pieces of counterfeited NOKIA

phones were seized and another set of 110

bags of counterfeited Vee Rubber tire tubes

were seized,” pointed out Mr. Mponela.

Mr. Mponela warned that since FCC

stands to protect and promote effective com-

petition in the market and that it seeks to pro-

tect consumers from misleading and

deceptive market conducts, manufacturers,

wholesalers and retailers should abide with

the requisite provisions of the law that deter

trading in counterfeit goods, short of which

stern measures will be taken against them ac-

cording to the law.

He added that counterfeit goods pose se-

rious danger to lives, health and safety and

hence all sorts of trading in such goods should

not be condoned.
