My experience in industry has been that often when regulating authorities receive applications for various licences, particular those of a very technical nature, they do not always have the in-house expertise to deal with them. Consequently, they may go to outside consultants whose cost effectiveness criteria are not always what industry would want. In bringing about this change we must not cause costs to escalate for industry. Our competitiveness is one of the serious challenges facing the economy which many economic commentators have been debating. Any further erosion of our competitiveness in any sphere will be detrimental to our future economic well being. The Minister may well deal with those concerns.
