Draft Report for SSATP –MCLI Mozambique Transit Regime Project ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A project like this cannot happen without the collaboration and cooperation of many stakeholders and the author would like to extend her appreciation to each and every MCLI stakeholder who has, over the years, contributed to the many workshops, meetings and workgroups, where the Mozambique transit regime has been debated at length in order to identify the impacts on the development and growth of the region and to find common solutions in line with regional best practice. A special word of thanks is also extended to Dr Antonio Matos, the Chairman of MCLI in Mozambique and Dr Kekobad Patel, an MCLI board member and CTA President of the Customs, Fiscal and International Trade Policy Committee, for their leadership and support in obtaining the output of this project, namely a proposal for legislation revision tabled with the Mozambican Revenue Authority through the office of the Director General of Customs. Without the cooperation and collaboration of the Director General of Mozambique Customs, Dr Domingos Tivane and his team, this project would not have been possible. The consistent collaboration and excellent spirit of cooperation has motivated MCLI to pursue this project until its completion. The invaluable inputs from the SARS Customs Experts team has greatly contributed to the project and has enabled a better understanding of best practice in South Africa, and the drawing of comparisons and the promotion of recommendations in line with neighbouring country practices. The transit regime review project required corridor, trade as well as legal expertise and insight and the support of Dr Osorio Lucas from the Port of Maputo, my co-authors, Wendy de Goede, whose specialist inputs from a trade perspective and Soraia Issufo whose inputs from a legal perspective, have ensured that this project could be completed within the very tight time frames of the project. . Their dedication, team work and passion for the region made coordinating and managing this project a pleasure. The continued good work being facilitated and funded by the SSATP regional integration program and the opportunity to bring this project with its report in both English and Portuguese to fruition is greatly appreciated.
