to Enhance Investment Climate
By Staff Reporter
The Fair Competition Commission (FCC)
and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) have embarked
on initial partnership with a view to undertaking ‘Technical Institutional Capacity Building
and Development Cooperation’ between the
two organisations.
The move aims at furthering the efforts
initiated by the Tanzanian Government with
respect to improving the investment climate
by harnessing the effectiveness of the Market
oversight body in exercising oversight on
competition, consumer protection and anticounterfeit issues.
To that end, the FCC led by the by Director General, Dr. Geoffrey Mariki, and UNIDO
Country Representative, Mr. emmanuel
Kalenzi (as well as the UNIDO Programme
Officer, Grace Bingileki), held a discussion at
the Commission’s premises on 8th May, 2012.
Dr. Mariki explained the role of the Commission which, among others, includes controlling anti-competitive agreements (cartels),
mergers and acquisitions that strengthen the
position of dominance in the market and misuse of market power by dominant players in
the market. he added that FCC is also mandated to fight counterfeits and protection of
consumers in the economy, citing that these
roles aim at creating a level playing field for
all actors in the economy.
Through its roles, FCC contributes in ensuring and sustaining favorable investment
climate in the country, capable of attracting
both domestic and foreign investors. “It is the
desire of every investor to operate in a level
playing field; therefore, a more efficient FCC
will enhance investors confidence in the Tanzanian economy, portraying the country as a

viable investment destination with a stronger
institutional and enabling legal framework for
curbing unruly market conducts such as monopoly tendencies, cartels and counterfeit
trade, since these render markets inefficient
and businesses unprofitable”, explained Dr.
Mariki.
Responding to Commission’s submission,
the UNIDO Country Representative, Mr.
Kalenzi, explained that his institution has an
objective of promoting productive activities
through Small and Medium enterprises
(SMes), Private Sector Competitiveness and

INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
UNIDO Extends Assistance to FCC
to Enhance Investment Climate
Participants in the meeting between FCC and UNIDO held at FCC office premises on 8th May, 2012, pose for a group photo after the meeting. They
are from right to left; Ms. Zaytuni Kikula, A Senior Merger Analyst, Mr. Michael Shilla, the Director for Corporate Affairs, Dr. Geoffrey Mariki,

said Mr. Kalenzi.
During the discussions,
UNIDO agreed to extending support to two key areas of cooperation, namely;
launching a consumer education and public
awareness campaign on FCC, and establishment of a knowledge management depository
based on intranet system at FCC.
Consumer and Public Awareness initiatives will help the general public to understand the manner in which the Commission
operates, the justice dispensation procedures,
rules and guidelines as well as the appellate
routes for parties seeking to challenge Commission’s decisions. It is also aimed at attracting other development partners to extend
further technical assistance in such areas as
capacity building for the judiciary and other
strategic stakeholders at the law enforcement
1
levels.
On the other hand, the knowledge-based
intranet system, the infrastructure of which
shall be developed under such technical assistance arrangement, shall enable FCC to operate in an “e-Government” framework, thereby
enabling operations to continue and substantive decisions to be made even when key staff
and decision makers are not physically on
duty station. Specifically, the current support
is intended to assist in designing and developing a state of the art intranet system. FCC
has already sent two staff from the Corporate
Affairs Division to Malaysia from 31st March
to 7th April, 2012 to attend requisite training.
The assistance will further complement
Government’s efforts to modernise and improve its activities with a view to enhancing
intra-governmental institutional communica-
tions vide e-government solutions.
Additional areas for cooperation highlighted in the discussion were mostly focused
on strengthening knowledge and skills capacities of Commissioners and staff of the FCC
and members of the Judiciary in handling of
competition, consumer protection and anticounterfeit issues.
The overall success of the technical assistance project is expected to benefit the
economy through delivery of timely competition justice, elimination of counterfeit goods
in the economy and improved policy and legislative framework in the economy. The
launching of the consumer and public awareness as well as the establishment of a knowledge based intranet facility are poised to
commence within the last quarter of the year
2012.

Parliament Passes MMA Amendments
FIlE PhOTO: A cross section of Members of Parliament getting explanations from FCC official on how to identify counterfeit goods in a
seminar held in Dodoma in Agust, 2008.
By John Mponela, Head of
Counterfeit Enforcement
DURING its April, 2012 session, the Parliament passed amendments to the Merchandise Marks Act, 1963 to enhance its scope in
combating counterfeiting in Tanzania.
The move follows endorsement of the
proposed amendments from various stakeholders earlier in 2011, which aim at improv-
ing Tanzania’s overall investment climate and
favour fairness in business undertakings.
Salient features of the approved amendments include broadening of definitions, incorporation of crimes originating from
technological advancements and tasking
brand owners’ participation in combating
counterfeiting in Tanzania.
likewise, the amended piece of legisla-
tion has required brand-owners to work together with the Chief Inspector of the Merchandise Marks in combating trade in
counterfeit, especially in the area of brand
awareness and protection.
Similarly, the amended legislation has
provisions that makes it more punitive in a
manner commensurate with the gravity of
the offence.
FCC Reviews Notified Mergers
By Zaytuni Kikula, Senior
Merger Analyst
FCC received and reviewed two merger applications notified at the Commission between 1st April and 30th June, 2012.
The first merger application received,
evaluated and approved was between a consortium of Oakleaf Investments holdings 76
(Proprietary) limited and the Government
employees Pension Fund (GePF) of South
Africa, duly represented by the Public Investment Corporation limited (PIC). The same
was notified at the Commission on 5th April,
2012.
The acquiring consortium expressed their
intent to acquire more than 99% of the issued
share capital of AfriSam Consortium (Proprietary) limited, a locally registered firm
with a strategic interest in one of the giant cement factories, Tanga Cement.
The acquiring firm expressed the acquisition intention as to recapitalize and enhance
target firm’s economic ability and business
viability.
The application was analysed in order to
ascertain whether or not the transaction is
likely to harm competition significantly as
provided under section 11(1) of the Fair Competition Act, 2003 (FCA), that a merger is prohibited if it creates or strengthens a position of
dominance in a market and Part V of the Fair
Competition Commission Procedural Rules,
2010. The merger was approved without conditions by the Commission on 6th June, 2012.
The second merger application received
and reviewed by the Commission was between eTC Group and export Trading Company lTC (eTC). This was notified at the
Commission on 8th May 2012.
In this transaction, the acquiring firm intended to acquire 99.9% shares in target firm
as a way of restructuring group activities globally. The objectives were explained as follows;
to gain proper and adequate financing, to have
consolidated operational costs, to attain higher
operational efficiencies through having one
parent company and to raise large capital base
to support its other subsidiaries.
The merger relates to the business of importation and distribution of fertilizer in
mainland Tanzania. The application was
analysed in order to ascertain the potential
likelihood of significantly harming competition, as provided for under section 11(1) of
the Fair Competition Act, 2003 (FCA), that
a merger is prohibited if it creates or
strengthens a position of dominance in a
market and Part V of the Fair Competition
Commission Procedural Rules, 2010.
Substantial lessening of competition test
to which the merger applications are subjected, revealed that there were no possibility for the first applicant to act unilaterally
and harm competition in the relevant markets, but rather they will enhance competition and strengthen the economy.
The Commission approved the OakleefAfrisam merger application without conditions based on the technical analysis.
As of 30th June, 2012, the review of the
second merger application, between between eTC Group and export Trading
Company lTC (eTC), was still on going.

FCC Administer Consumer
Education to SMEs
By Joshua Msoma
Senior Consumer Protection Officer
FCC has administered Consumer education and Awareness to Small and Medium
enterprises (SMes) in various parts of the
country’s business capital, Dar es Salaam.
The educational initiative sought to raise
the awareness of members of the busienss
community (SMes). That is making them
undertand their duties and responsibilities
as distributors of goods in a manner that is
in line with the requirements of Fair Compeitition Act No.8 of 2003 (FCA).
Awareness and educational issues of interest administered by FCC during such
training and awareness creation sessions related to provisions of the FCA and the Merchandise Marks Act, 1963 (MMA), as
amended. The training promoted voluntary
compliance to the requirements of FCA and
MMA in full.
FCC implemented the awareness and educational programmes through its Consumer
Protection Department.
Three seminars in that respect were undertaken Ilala and Temeke Districts, partic-
ularly to members of the business community in Kigamboni, Kariakoo and Segerea in
Dar es Salaam
Beneficiary SMe groups included all
traders’ groups ranging from retailers,
wholesalers, importers, exporters, manufacturers, processors and academic institutions

Brochures on how to Identify Counterfeit
Products, FCC General Information

awareness raised on subjects of the day,
since they had no knowledge of FCC and
its activities. They commended the educational initiative saying the same will enlighten more entrepreneurs and make them
comply voluntarily with the requirements
and provisions of FCA and MMA.
More awareness and educational programmes are envisaged to be carried out in
the 2012/2013 financial year.
FCC Staff Responsiveness to
HIV/AIDS Pandemic Scaled Up
By Emmanuel Kaale, Head of
Information Systems and Services
One of the great threat to health and development in Tanzania is hIV/AIDS epidemic. Over two million people are
reportedly living with hIV/AIDS in Tanzania. According to Tanzania Commission for
Aids (TACAIDS) statistics these victims are
mostly sexually active aged between 15 and
49 years, very young and vibrant potential
workforce at the prime working life.
International labour Organisation (IlO)
estimates that hIV/AIDS pandemic will
cause the labour force in over 30 countries,
Tanzania inclusive, to shrink by about 10%
to 35% by the year 2020, if appropriate
measures to arrest the situation won’t be
taken to revert the current prevalence trends.
No affirmative cure to hIV/AIDS has
been discovered to date, despite the fact that
the scourge has been around for quite some-
time now. The first case of hIV/AIDS was
recorded in Tanzania in 1983.
In realization of the effects of this pandemic, the FCC has put in place a comprehensive hIV/AIDS policy for its staff and has
been organizing training on hIV/AIDS for its
staff for the second year running now, since
institutionalization of the hIV/AIDS Policy.
The second training was held in June, 2012
and was commissioned by the resource persons from the Public Service Management
College experts, led by Ms. Agatha Wanderage.
Participants at the seminar received the
findings of researched information, statistical
trends and preventive strategies to combat
hIV/AIDS.
FCC Staff were also introduced to the
“labour and employment Code of Practice on
hIV/AIDS” as it pertains to work place action. Other issues covered in the seminar include; the truth on hIV/AIDS, difference
between hIV and AIDS, historical background of AIDS in human body, Symptoms,
relationship between life style and dangerous environments, effects of hIV/AIDS in
the economy, legal frame work on people
living with hIV/AIDS, National Policy on
hIV/AIDS, use of ARVs, positive living,
stigma, use of condoms, importance of
knowing health status, hIV/AIDS treatment
options, mental health, substance abuse, nutrition and advocacy. Similarly, staff had an
opportunity of taking voluntary hIV/AIDS
status testing at a testing-centre set up at
FCC during the training.
The sensitization seminar is an integral
part of FCC’s ultimate goal which is to promote positive behavior and hence reduce the
hIV/AIDS infection rate to employees, their
spouses and better care for those living with
hIV/AIDS. This is an initiative being used
by TACAIDS to scale up its work place response to hIV/AIDS in the Country.
CARTEL INVESTIGATION TRAINING

FCC Staff Trained on Cartel
Investigation Techniques
A Principal Analyst from the South African Competition Commission, Ms. Nompucuko Nontombana, stressing a point during the special training to Tanzanian law enforcers held at FCC office
premises in May, 2012.
By Laiton Mhesa
Senior Investigations Officer
The Republic of South Africa’s Competition Commission experts held a four days
technical training on investigation techniques to technical staff from FCC, the Police Force and the Fair Competition
Tribunal.
The training session that ran from 14th to
th
17 May, 2012 took place at the FCC’s office
premises at Ubungo Plaza in Dar es Salaam.
Resource persons who carried out the
training were Ms. Nelly Sakata and Ms.
Nompucuko Nontombana, from the South
African Competition Commission.
The training session aimed at equipping
participants with the requisite practical investigation skills that will enable them to
carry out their duties effectively.
Inaugurating the training session, the Director of Compliance at FCC, Dr. Deo Nangela expressed the Commission’s gratitude
to South African Competition Commission
for providing the needful training on investigative techniques to law enforcing agents
in Tanzania.
Dr. Nangela expressed his optimism that
the workshop will impart the practical skills
and understanding to members from the par-
ticipating institutions that will enable them
to undertake their responsibilities and duties
more efficiently and effectively.
“It is my sincere hope that all of us will
take the results of this programme as an essential key to unlock that which might have
been regarded as the ‘Gordian Knot’ in the
course of discharging our duties,” Dr. Nangela pointed out.
The training, among other things, emphasised on the use of “dawn raid”, a technique widely used in gathering evidence in
investigations of cartels and other anti-competitive conducts.
The approach banks on the trainers’ experience that evidence relating to anti-competitive conducts such as cartels are difficult
to come by and may at some point during investigation may require application of a sudden inspection procedure.
The training also involved a mock “dawn
raid” into offices of a firm alleged to lead its
competitors into engaging in anti-competitive conducts.
Participants expressed their appreciation
on the usefulness of the training programme
and were optimisti that they will employ the
skill in carrying out their duties.

by Diante Africa Marketing and Training.
The participants had an opportunity to
learn various issues concerning fraud and
corruption. These included; the differences,
causes, effects and preventive measures.
Causes for committing both fraud and
corruption were expounded. Causes for fraud
were identified by the resource persons as
pressure, opportunity and rationale, in what
is termed, ‘The Fraud Triangle’.
Causes for committing corruption were
identified as low public sector salary as the
prime cause; others being greed, loss of income and job dissatisfaction.
The effects of fraud and corruption were
also addressed, the predominant ones being
undermining the development capacities of
states, distorting priorities.
The Four Pillars to stop corruption were
identified as Preventive Measures, Criminalization law enforcement, International Cooperation and Asset Recovery. Preventive
Measures in Public Sector includes Transparency Integrity and Accountability.
These can be achieved through personnel
management and code of conduct; enforcing
compliance to public procurement and public finance management; and integrity of ju-
diciary and prosecution services. Other preventive strategies include the ethical Dimension of Fraud Prevention and the Code on
Corporate Governance.
