19. Functions of Economic Zone Operator Facilitate a single window clearance facility that delivers required government services to with minimum red tape.

20. Comments on the SEZ Bill Quorum Requirement; government role is key. SEZ Fund to not be a major constraint; mechanism to ensure funding equity. Highlighting of the need for incentives; formation of a board sub committee on investments Reporting arrangement sill not clear enough; reporting to owner and the SEZ board only. SEZ permit holding company required to only operate an SEZ; requirement of grandfather clause to ensure continuity. Review of existing IDZ’s to ensure that they are positioned correctly after formation of differing classes of SEZ’s.

21. Coega Readiness Ascertain status of CDC as permit holder: – Considering that the CDC has several business lines outside of the Coega IDZ. – Could result in the unbundling of the CDC. Work with DTI on formation of SEZ board. – Identification of subcommittees. – Identification of classes of SEZs Evaluation of CIDZ as an SEZ (type?)
