MEXORANDUMAND RECOMMENDATIONOF THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTERNATIONALDEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION TO THE EXECUTIVEDIRECTORS ON A PROPOSEDCREDIT TO THE ISLAMICREPUBLIC OF MAURITANIA FOR A PUBLIC ENTERPRISEINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNICALASSISTANCE PROJECT 1. The followingmemorandum and recommendationon a proposed developmentcredit to the Republicof Mauritaniafor SDR 7.7 million (US$10.0Million equivalent)is submittedfor approval. The proposed credit would be on standard IDA terms with a maturity of 40 years, and would help finance a public enterpriseinstitutional development and technicalassistance project. 2. Background. After independence,Mauritania pursted a deliberate policy of parastatalintervention to promote economic developmeut. As a result,the parapublic sector grew rapidly. Mauritania currentlyhas 80 parapublicenterprises which are involvedin virtuallyall economic sectors. They account for more than one-fourthof modern sector employment (12,000workers), use up over 50 percent of public investment,and receive almost one-fifth of the credit disbursed through the domestic banking sector. The overall performanceof the PE sector,however, has not been satisfactory. It has been characterizedby high losses,mounting arrears, reliance on monopoly privileges, a rising debt burden and increasing illiquidity. 3. In view of the sector'sunsatisfactory perfor.iance and the emergenceof unsustainablefinancial disequilibria, the governmenthas formulatedand begun the implementationof a comprehensivepublic enterprisesector adjustmentprogram (PESAP). Actions under the proposed programwould include; (i) a modificationof the legal and institutional frameworkwith the objectiveof eliminatingstate monopoliesand facilitatingincreased private sector participation;(ii) a program of divestiture; and (iii) financialrestructuring programs for key enterprisesremaining in the sector,particularly SNIM, the iron ore mining company,which is by far the largestenterprise in the country. 4. Overall responsibilityfor the implementationof the reforms in * the public enterprisesector lies with the Ministry of Plan. The 'Cellule de Redressementdu SecteurPublic' (CRSP),within the Ministry of Plan, will coordinateactivity and monitor progress of the reformsand will be * responsiblefor privatizationand liquidationof enterprises. A division in the Ministry of Financewill also assist and extend the information system developed,help introduceand standardizebudgetary and accounting procedures,and monitor the financialperformance of all PEs. To adequatelydischarge their responsibilities,both CRSP and the unit in the Ministry of Finance,will need technicalassistance. Although qualified, the staff has little experiencewith the variety of complex tasks to be undertaken in a number of sectors. In addition,it is proposed that technicalassistance be providedto enterprisesin the energy, telecommnicationsand transportsectors, sectors of vital importanceto the Mauritanian economy. 5. Rationale of IDA involvement. The origins of the credit stem from the Goverpment's exforts, dating back to 1983, to redress the situation of t.te PE sector. These efforts were supported by a Rehabilitationproject for SNIM (Ln. 2643-MAU),a DevelopmentManagement Project (Cr. 1865). a Rural Sector TechnicalAssistance Project (Cr. 1414- MAU), and a Public EnterpriseTechnical Assistance and Rehabilitation Project (Cr. 1567-MAU),which are either fully disbursedor almost fully committed. Through its past involvement,IDA has built up an intimate working knowledge of the public enterprisesector and has been asked by the Governmentand other financinginstitutions to take a lead in supporting the proposed adjustmenteffort. The proposedproject will complement technicalassistance activity being financed by the Bank and other donors. Experiencewith such technicalassistance has been good. The projectwill help ensure successfulimplementation of the reforms at the same time that it helps develop the institutionalbase for sound managementof the sector. IDA's continuedinvolvement in the energy, telecommunicationsand transport sectors is needed in order: (i) to maintain a dialogue in these sectors which will ensure that appropriatepolicies agreed to by the Government will continue to be implemented;(ii) to ensure that the sector investments are directed to projects of high priority;and, (iii) to ensure that prices and tariffs reflect both economiccosts and fiscal considerations. 6. Proiect oblectives. The objectivesare to provide the technical assistancesupport the Governmentneeds to extend and deepen its PE reform efforts,which would be supportedby the companionPE Sector Adjustment Credit. The project is also to address the long term issue of strengtheningthe government'sability to devise and implementPE reforms as well as to monitor the sector'sperformance and manage its future development.In the energy, transportand telecc-municationssectors, the objectivesare to help the Governmentbetter manage the sectors, to encouragethe creation of a subsidiaryin the 'Officedes Postes et T6lecommunications'(OPT) that would mobilize savings, to put air transport back on a sound financialfooting, to help implementa householdenergy strategy,and to attractprivate companiesto explore for petroleumin Mauritania. 7. Project description. The projectwould provide a specialunit "Cellulede Rehabilitationdu Secteur Public", (CRSP)created to oversee parastatalreform with the (local and foreign)technical expertise (about a.30man-months), logistical support and reso'rcesneeded to execute the reform'smain elements. These include: (a) monitoringsector performance; (b) implementingliquidation, privatization, and other divestiture measures; (c) carryingout externalaudits of enterprises;(d)providing counselingand advice on labor retrenchment;(e) implemientingstudies of subsectors(insurance, fisheries) or enterprises(SOMLR and SOMINEX). The technicalassistance to the Ministry of Financewill consist of short term consultancyservices (about50 man-months)and some trainingto deal with the accountingand budgetaryprocedures and monitoring of financial performanceof PES, as well as servicesof an expert agency to certify the quality, quantity and price of each shipmentof goods to be financed under the PESECAL. The technicalassistance for energy would consist of 180 man- months of long-termexperts to assist SONELEC,about 70 man-monthsof short-termconsulting services to assist with seismicdata processing,data reinterpretationand reprocessingand petroleumexploration promotion, and about 30 man-monthsof experts to help implementthe householdenergy strategy,including the promotionof improvedcharcoal and kerosene stoves and the promotionof gas for householdcooking. The technicalassistance to the Ministry of Commerce is to help it fully liberalizeprices, set up a * regulatoryframework for private insurancecompanies, and to demonopo3ize SONDMEX. OPT would requireabout 50-man-monthsof consultantservices, includingthe servicesof a coordinator,to update the rehabilitationplan, prepare a performancecontract, complete the introductionof a new computerizedbudgeting and accountingsystem, includingfull separationof accounts of the postal checking servicesand the national savingsbank.

    S/C/W/270/Add.2 Page 403 PART H OWNERSHIP S/C/W/270/Add.2 Page 405 H. OWNERSHIP 1. Regulatory aspects 659. This section will discuss: (a) the different concepts associated with the term "ownership", and their interactions; (b) documentary limitations affecting the analysis of the issue; and (c) main regulatory developments. (a) The different concepts associated with the term "ownership" and their interaction 660. As explained in the compilation (paragraphs 7-9, pages 220-221), in the professional and academic aviation literature the term "ownership" is indifferently used to refer to three distinct concepts: (i) The designation policy through which a country attributes the rights to operate, either domestically or under a bilateral Air Services Agreement, to a given airline(s) (e.g. the US Department of Transportation granting traffic rights to American Airlines but not to Continental Airlines on a non-open- skies destination). Designation policies were used in the past both at the national level (e.g. before the 1979 deregulation, the US Civil Aeronautics Board would attribute the right to operate on a given city-pair to a given airline) and at the international level. They seem now to be confined mainly to the international arena with the marginal exception of public services contracts. (ii) The national investment/establishment regime for airlines, whether operating only domestic flights, only international flights, or both. The investment regime may cover also non-scheduled carriers and, in certain instances, general aviation/business aviation carriers. In cases where there is only one, publicly-owned airline, there may be no investment regime since none is needed.

  • Overview of Trends and Developments in International Air Transport1
    24/03/09 English only OVERVIEW OF TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT1 (ICAO Secretariat) 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This paper provides a global overview of regulatory and industry trends and developments of international air transport that have taken place since the mid-1990s, focussing on significant developments for the past five years. 1.2 The overview has two parts. The first part looks at major regulatory movements towards the liberalization of international air transport, including bilateral and regional liberalization, air service negotiations involving a group of States, multilateral initiatives, national liberalization policies, competition, and consumer protection policies. The second part reports on the airline industry’s responses to an ever changing and more competitive marketplace, including airline alliances, mergers and acquisitions, privatization, airline business models, and product distribution. 2. REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS 2.1 The liberalization of international air transport regulation continued to evolve at various levels since the 1980s. It is estimated that, in 2008, this involved about 31 per cent of country-pairs with non-stop scheduled passenger air services and about 58 per cent of the frequencies offered, through either bilateral “open skies” air services agreements or regional/plurilateral liberalized agreements and arrangements (compared with about 7 per cent and 35 per cent, respectively, a decade ago, see Figure 1). 2.2 Bilateral liberalization. Bilateral air services agreements remain the

  • 1. Mauritania's Trade Policy Has Not Changed As Regards the Two Key Sectors of Its International Trade, Namely, Mining and Fisheries Products
    WT/TPR/S/250 Trade Policy Review Page 52 IV. TRADE POLICIES BY SECTOR (1) INTRODUCTION 1. Mauritania's trade policy has not changed as regards the two key sectors of its international trade, namely, mining and fisheries products. Market access is not restricted in either of these sectors and there is a large international presence. Furthermore, in the mining sector, a law gives overseas service firms tax concessions that are not available to domestic firms. Since 2006, Mauritania has exported hydrocarbons, while the State continues to import all the refined petroleum products consumed. There is also a large trade in agricultural products because many of the country's food needs are covered by imports. Some dozen Mauritanian industrial groups and businesses dominate Mauritania's trade in services, especially wholesale distribution (of rice in particular), hotel and restaurant services and financial services. (2) AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCK (i) Overview 2. Although Mauritania's land is mostly desert, the rural sector plays an important role in the country's economy, with over 62 per cent of the population living mainly from rural activities. Because there is little rainfall or investment in production, the total surface area farmed each year is around 240,000 hectares, i.e. less than half its potential, and only 20,000 hectares are irrigated. There is a chronic shortfall in food crops and 70 per cent of staple food needs are imported with sizeable budget subsidies. A handful of private operators controls the import market. During the period 2007-2008, Mauritania saw sharp increases in its food import bill, and then again in 2010-2011 following the rise in global prices.
