Committee:
Sales
President: Gerardo Marrero
PROCTER & GAMBLE
A "petit comité" is formed to produce a base
diagnostic of common strategies in order to respond to the new
trends in Venezuelan trade and marketing; a study of the mass
consumption market, growth opportunities and progress of the traditional
sales channels. This study was shared with the Processed Foods,
Mass Consumption Products, Marketing committees and with the Public
Policies Consulting Council. In addition, a "petit comité"
is created to evaluate the problems faced by the heavy and medium
load transportation, with the purpose of outlining a feasible
project of alliance between the manufacturers, assemblers, transporters
and finance entities, based on the real opportunities and convenience
under the profitability criteria, close collaboration and mutual
benefit.
The committee proposes the study of the current handling of the
sales forces, as well as its training. Similarly, it seeks to
find out which are the factors that influence the efficiency of
sales networks.

The committee focused its efforts on meetings with the Vice-minister
of MILCO (Ministry of Light Industry and Commerce) in order to
alleviate the bottle-neck effect caused by the processing and
paperwork required by CADIVI in export, import operations and
equipment pre-purchasing. It also approached SENIAT managers on
solving the problem of the return of the Draw Back, as well as
CADIVI managers concerning the physical checking of at customs,
inviting them regularly to committee meetings. The committee organized
an extraordinary business meeting with directors from SASA (Autonomous
Service of Agricultural Health), SENIAT and company representatives,
with the scope of studying the upcoming application at the global
level of the regulations that make mandatory the use of wood treated
against plague in wooden packaging. Also, it examined some additional
topics that are affecting the sector, like: the new customs fees

to approach representatives of the Commission that studies the

of the importance it will have on the sector. The lack of monthly

serious problems.

Committee:
Real
Estate
President: Oswaldo Lafranconi
FERCA RENTALS
In September 2005, there were expropriations of various properties
in apparent violation of the principle of private property established
in the Constitution. These actions were affecting the investors'
confidence and were slowing down the real estate market. In addition,
the bureaucracy in the approval of new projects, as well as the
insufficiency and delay in the delivery of financial resources,
have caused a delay in the construction on housing solutions,
affecting the entire economy, given the huge impact that construction
has on the GDP and on the companies that are part of the construction
sector.
This committee
organized the event "Real
Estate Perspectives,"
An
informative presentation, "Road Show," was organized for the Chamber's
other committees, with the objective of familiarizing them with
the quality of different professional services that the committee
members provide.

There were two evening meetings under the name of "Business Networking,"
in which five companies had each time the opportunity to present
its services to the invited member companies. Speakers were invited
on these topics: legal, cooperatives, SAP, CRM, management techniques
and treasury, in order to have access to useful information for
businesses. The VAT retention for special taxpayers is beginning
to become a problem for the majority of businesses for not being
able to compensate it, which accumulates monthly work capital.

Due to Mercal's impact, the topic was analyzed deeply with experts
and committee members, trying to find solutions that include the
new brands, sizes and formats of the Hard Discount. During the
year, various laws affecting the sector were passed, which is
why the committee invited speakers to talk on topics like the
expropriation of industrial plants and lands, the Law Against
Illicit Currency Exchange, the Law on Social Responsibility in
Radio and Television and the LOPCYMAT. The main problems faced
this year were: price controls, the steady supervision by official
institutions, transportation shortages, and CADIVI's failure to
pay dividends.
