(b) The Inter-Ministerial Council must, every two years after the initial independent evaluation referred to in paragraph (a), commission an independent evaluation of the effectiveness of co-operative and collaborative mechanisms between the financial sector regulators, the Reserve Bank, the Financial Intelligence Centre, the Council for Medical Schemes and the Competition Commission.

 

(2) An evaluation in terms of this section must at least contain an analysis and evaluation of the memoranda of understanding required in terms of section 77, the outcome of any and all consultations in terms of section 78, and compliance with those sections.

 

(3) The Inter-Ministerial Council may on its own initiative, or at the request of a financial sector regulator, at any time commission an independent evaluation of the effectiveness of co-operation and collaboration between the financial sector regulators, the Reserve Bank, the Financial Intelligence Centre, the Council for Medical Schemes and the Competition Commission.

 

(4) When a financial sector regulator makes a request for an evaluation, the Inter-Ministerial Council must consider the request and the concerns raised in the request regarding the effectiveness of co-operation and collaboration, and, if the Council rejects the request, provide the financial sector regulator that made the request with the reasons for rejecting the request.

 

(5) Any evaluation commissioned by the Inter-Ministerial Council in terms of this section must be tabled in Parliament immediately following the Council’s consideration of the evaluation, and must be accompanied by a report from the Council on the evaluation’s contents.
