Bolivians Split on Adoption of New Constitution

Friday, April 4th, 2008

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - People in Bolivia are evenly split between those who approve of a new constitution and those who do not, according to a poll by Ipsos Apoyo, Opinión y Mercado. 41 per cent of respondents would vote in favour of the proposed body of law in an upcoming referendum, while 41 per cent would vote against it.

Evo Morales—an indigenous leader and former coca-leaf farmer—won the December 2005 presidential election as the candidate for the Movement to Socialism (MAS), with 53.7 per cent of the vote. He officially took over as Bolivia’s head of state in January 2006 and vowed to “re-found Bolivia” by enacting a new constitution.

In August 2006, the National Constituent Assembly—an elected ad-hoc body tasked with re-writing the country’s constitution—held its first session. The assembly was supposed to sit for just one year, but the process was marred by discrepancies between opposition parties and pro-government factions about whether the charter should be approved by a simple majority, as well as an attempt by MAS legislators to introduce an article to allow the indefinite re-election of the president. Opposition parties believed this would give Morales a chance to remain in power for as long as he wants.

In November 2007, a draft constitution was approved inside a military base in the vicinity of Sucre, with the support of all pro-government assembly members. Three people died and 20 more were injured during protests staged by the opposition to complain about the change of venue. The proposed draft includes articles that allow for consecutive presidential re-election, the creation of 36 autonomous indigenous communities, and tighter government controls over private media outlets.

Conservative opposition parties oppose the approved draft, which has led to a deep political division in the country. Earlier this month, the National Electoral Court (CNE) ruled that a referendum vote on the adoption of the new constitution should be delayed in order to allow opposition leaders and the government to solve the crisis first.

On Mar. 28, Morales praised the contents of the new body of law, saying, “According to international analysts, this is one of the most progressive constitutions in terms of social policies. That’s what we wanted, to bring about profound transformations in our society in democracy, peacefully. And the new constitution seeks equality for all Bolivians.”

The state of energy-sector reforms in the MENA region

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

What is the reform of the energy sector and what is its aim? The reform of the energy sector, to learn about the evolution of the shape of the sector through structural, institutional, legal and regulatory changes to enable and promote the development and effective management of the sector . The main result is the maximization of benefits to the sector through its contribution to economic growth and improving the well-being of the population.

The reform of the energy sector is essential to minimize the behaviour and monopolistic tendencies, promoting the rational use of energy and productive resources, so that the market sets the price for resisting the pressure Competition to order rather than chaos, and thus the freedom of choice for all the players in the energy sector.

Successful reform requires basic conditions: (i) a strong national political energy sector presents the Government’s intentions in this area are aimed at ensuring that the sector’s potential for economic growth and improvements in Keeping livestock is fully exploited. It defines the government’s role as policy makers and the role of business in this sector, including the private sector, as well as regulatory agencies. In short, the principles of political, economic and regulatory principles, and institutional structures necessary to ensure effective operation and sustainable development of the energy sector, (ii) the formulation of a medium and long term strategy which reflects the principles and policies into concrete action programs that, over time are implemented and financing obligations, institutional structures, strategy, implementation, and (iii) the formulation and adoption of legal and regulatory frameworks, based on the principles of the energy policy, the rules “game”, to ensure fairness and equal treatment of all players in the industry. The legal and regulatory framework, the rule of law and democracy in the energy market, “without impeding the functioning of the energy market, the maximization of benefits illusory.

The reform of the agenda

The agenda for reform should familiarize themselves with the long-term objectives of the sector, as explained above, and thus the nature of the changes should be implemented. In most countries in the energy sector is composed of two sub-areas of the electric power sub-sectors, and production of oil and gas sector. The changes that must take place for the most part focused on the following areas:

Sector and market structure: disengagement from the large vertically integrated companies in a monopoly situation in smaller, independent - is legally and operationally independent - companies along the lines of technical assistance and operations to create the conditions framework on competition. In the electricity sector, such as the unbundling of generation, transmission and distribution. From production and distribution may consist of several independent companies, but the transmission, in most cases, remains a natural monopoly to provide open access at the end of clear and transparent rules for all manufacturers, distributors and other large consumers unreadable. During these would dissociation, competition and improve efficiency in the high-power, as in Egypt, competition by unbundling is not accessible and small markets, such as in Lebanon. However, a regional power, the swimming pool, with free access transport system, clear and transparent pricing and operating rules, the separation of monopolistic structures, large and small, to ensure maximum benefits from trade. On the other hand, in small systems of power, as in Lebanon, where efficiency, service quality and viability of significant concern, the separation of Electricite du Liban in the strategic business units, of the production, transmission and distribution - with trading partners agreements between them - could allow better control and responsibility, but also the possibility of efficiency and profitability.

Legal and regulatory instruments: this definition, codes, rules, guidelines, licences and permits, performance criteria and indicators for monitoring, tariffs and pricing, consumer protection and the rights of consumers. The instruments should also clearly define the role of the private sector, such as public institutions in the sector. They must be transparent and predictable and the achievement of equal treatment of all stakeholders to enable loading and unloading easy and freedom of choice. To ensure that legal and regulatory instruments for the “rule of law and democracy” in the energy market.

Institutional Reform: The government should always, policy makers and the relations between the government and public bodies must be at arm’s length in order to minimize political interference in the day to day operations of the sector. Similarly, regulatory agencies should not be, or become, to be perceived, with politically involved and must provide a large part of the independence of the regulatory authorities. The instrument should apply to them and the budgets of operational agencies should be import duties on the companies in this sector, by the issuance of licenses and taxes.
