Ministry of Fisheries and Rodrigues – The Rodrigues Regional Assembly (Community Development) Regulations 2010 (Government Notice (Rodrigues Regional Assembly) No. 2 of 2010). ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS STC - DIESEL, MOGAS, PETROLEUM PRODUCTS & RICE (RATION) The Leader of the Opposition (Mr P. Bérenger) (By Private Notice) asked the Minister of Industry and Commerce whether, in regard to the State Trading Corporation, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain from the Corporation, information as to – (a) the details of the present price structure for diesel and Mogas, indicating the (i) hedging losses incurred as at to date, and (ii) sums paid to filling stations and petroleum companies on the occasion of the last general election; (b) whether tenders for petroleum products will be called for; (c) the commodities and respective quantities thereof imported by the STCM Limited, and (d) the losses incurred, if any, on the recent re-tendering exercise for the supply of ration rice. Mr Soodhun: Mr Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I will reply to the PNQ as well as to the PQs 1B/41, 1B/56 and 1B/59 together. With regard to part (a) of the PNQ, details about the price structure for Mogas comprise the following - 1. Cost, Freight and Insurance (C.I.F) which means - • the average Platt’s Publication (Daily World Price) of the month in which a tanker is loaded (Bill of Lading date) May 2010 • FOB Mogas plus FOB Mediterranean (Italy) USD/M.Ton 701.99 • Plus Supplier’s margin (premium) USD/M Ton 30.43 • Plus Freight USD/M Ton 24.40 • Plus Insurance (.00425% of C&F) USD/M Ton 0.03 • Total CIF: USD 4,134,237.57 or USD/M Ton 756.85 • No of litres: 5,101,098 • CIF per litre: USD 0.5822 2. Excise Duty as per Excise Act MUR/litre 9.80. 3. MID Levy as per the Excise Act - June 2008 MUR/litre 0.15. 4. (Gain)/Loss from previous month – the CIF used in the price structure of a month is that of tankers of the previous month. Any gain realised due to lower CIF price for tankers of the subsequent month, as compared to that used in the price structure… Mr Bérenger: I’ll ask the rate, of course, to be circulated as it had been done in the past; it is not necessary for the hon. Minister to read everything. We are going to waste half an hour with that. (Interruptions) Mr Speaker: It has been the practice in the past to circulate the structure. I, myself, cannot follow what the hon. Minister is saying. Mr Soodhun: A question has been asked by the hon. Leader of the Opposition, that is, to give detail of the price structure. (Interruptions) Mr Speaker: The hon. Leader of the Opposition has made a request and the hon. Minister may comply; not now, as he is not in a position to circulate the information. He might do so later on. Carry on! Mr Soodhun: These are the details which have been asked. Mr Speaker, Sir, concerning the adjustment, when the price structure for a month is worked out, it is assumed that the quantity of the STC will sell to oil companies during a month will be one-twelfth of the normal contracted quantity – 90,000 M. Ton or 9,750,000 litres. Increase/(Decrease) greater than 7.5% and below 2.5%: as per paragraph 7 of the Regulations - any increase or decrease below 2.5 % in the retail price is carried forward and adjusted in the succeeding month. The same applies if the percentage increase or decrease is beyond 7.5%. Therefore, this amount is charged or refunded in the following month. For the month of May 2010, the price of Mogas should have been decreased by 8.75%, but has been limited to 7.5% in accordance with the Regulations. The difference of 1.27% or a decrease of MUR 0.5143 has been brought forward to June 2010. The windfall gain or loss - a stock taking exercise is carried out in the tanks of oil companies and filling stations on the day a change in price is undertaken. When there is an increase in price, a refund of the difference between the existing and the new price is made to the STC by oil companies and filling stations, and subsequently refunded to the consumers in the following APM exercise by STC in the price structure. In the same way, payment is effected to the above stakeholders in case of decrease in price and is charged to the consumers. The amount windfall gain or windfall loss is divided by the number of litres estimated to be sold to oil companies during a month, and is inserted as either a charge or a refund, whichever the case may be, in the price structure. Any amount charged or refunded in short or excess is considered in the item ‘Adjustment’ in subsequent month. For May 2010 APM exercise, the stock of Mogas on 08 May 2010 at the oil companies and the retail outlets were 12,414,248 litres and 1,473,802 litres respectively. The price differential between the month of April and May 2010 was MUR 3.0435/litre for oil companies and MUR 3.50 for retail outlets. Hence, a total amount of windfall loss of MUR 42,884,027.28 has been refunded to them. Divided by the monthly estimated quantity of 9,750,000 litres, the amount charged in the price structure of June 2010 works out to MUR 4.3984/litre. Provision for hedging - this item has been introduced in January 2008 (MUR 1.50 per litre) and increased to MUR 3.00/Litre in November 2008.

Condemned with the misfortune of not being endowed with natural resources, relative to her mainland African counterparts, Mauritius, nonetheless, was able to break the shackles of limited economic options and one of being the ‘basket-case’ to gradually evolving into being the upper-middle-income country - thus depicting it to be one of the most encouraging economies within the developing world.

    VOLUME 4 NO 1 133 THE FORMATION, COLLAPSE AND REVIVAL OF POLITICAL PARTY COALITIONS IN MAURITIUS Ethnic Logic and Calculation at Play * By Denis K Kadima and Roukaya Kasenally ** Denis K Kadima is the Executive Director of EISA.

The eight post-independence general elections have all been marked by electoral accords where those expecting to retain power or those aspiring to be in power hedge their bets by forming alliances with partners that ensure that they will be elected. Another fascinating feature is that, apart from that in 1976, all these coalitions have been formed before the election, allowing each party leader to engage in a series of tactical and bargaining strategies to ensure that his party gets a fair deal and, more recently, an equal deal, where the alliance partners shared the post of Prime Minister. The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on this under- researched area and to offer some explanation of the different mechanisms that exist * The authors acknowledge with gratitude the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Johannesburg, and the Embassy of Finland, Pretoria, who funded the project.

The thesis is to be used for private study or non-commercial research purposes only. University WOMEN AND POLITICS IN A PLURAL SOCIETY: THE CASE OF MAURITIUS Town Ramola RAMTOHULCape of Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the UniversityAfrican Gender Institute University of Cape Town February 2009 Women and Politics in a Plural Society: The Case of Mauritius ABSTRACT This research is a socio-historical study of women and politics in the Indian Ocean Island of Mauritius. It traces the historical evolution of women‟s political engagement in social and women‟s movements as well as in the formal political institutions. The backdrop to this study was my interest in the field of women and politics and concern on women‟s marginal presence in the Mauritian parliament since women obtained the right to vote and stand for election in 1947, and until recently, the stark silences on this issue in the country. Mauritius experienced sustained democracy following independence and gained a solid reputation in terms of its stable democratic regime and economic success. Despite these achievements, the Mauritian democracy is deficient with regard to women‟s representation at the highest level of decision-making, in parliament. Moreover, the absence of documentation on this topic has rendered the scope of thisTown study broad. In this thesis I primarily draw on the postcolonial feminist writings to study women‟s political activism in social and women‟s movements.
