Hunsinger, Mr CH to ask the Minister of Transport
With reference to her reply to question 405 on 08 March 2016, (a) who are the members of the Vehicle Technical Committee (VTC), (b) what criteria were used to include the specified members on the VT, (c) what criteria were used to exclude members who previously served on the VTC?
Reply:
(a) The members of the VTC are:
- National Department of Transport;
- All nine Provincial Departments of Transport;
- South African Police Sevice;
- South African Bureau of Standards;
- National Regulator of Compulsory specification;
- Road Traffic Infringement Agency;
- Road Traffic Management Corporation; and
- Business Against Crime South Africa.
(b) As outlined in my previous response, the determining factors are those related to institutions that perform a regulatory function. This must be institutions that do not have financial interest in the development of a regulatory process geared at regulating the Vehicle Testing Stations.
(c) Those members that have any financial interest in the regulation of the sector, such members will be requested to be part of the Working Group that would input on the regulatory framework.
