It is further informed that the following criteria shall govern the review and re-allocation process:
-
- [a] Authorisations in cases where more than 50% of the allocated quantity has been utilised may be considered for revalidation for a further period of six months.
- [b] In cases where utilisation is less than 50%, the unutilised quantity shall be transferred to the common pool for re-allocation, unless copies of valid export contracts/purchase orders are made available as part of the application in terms of this Notice.
