A evolução da industria de tintas em Moçambique os seus reflexos nas empresas Berger e Pintex

Abstract

On conducting a study on the paint sector in the People's Republic of Mozambique, it is important to make a preliminary framework of the environment in which the paint industry operates, taking into account the existing constraints on the normal evolution of this industry sector. After the proclamation of national independence, the programme lines adopted at socio-economic level by FRELIMO were made known to the country. Following the nationalisation of Housing, Health and Education, a massive flight of company owners began, accompanied by acts of economic sabotage, which led the State to intervene in the economy. Under decree-law 16/75, Administrative Commissions were appointed in companies in an attempt to avoid the paralysis of production units and the consequent fall in production and unemployment of thousands of workers. To regulate and discipline the activity of these companies, Decree-Law 17/77 was published, approving the standard statute for state companies. Subsequently, the need arose to give legal status to the companies subject to intervention. Thus, Decree-Law 1S/77 was published to regulate companies with administrative commissions. The aim of this law was to transform them into state, mixed or private companies, after a technical and financial study. The State grants state companies the status, capacity and legal personality. ■ Legal diploma 18/77, in its second part, also regulates the activity of private companies and disciplines their relations with the State. During a long - period, a part of the companies with administrative commissions were transformed into state emoresas; others, continued without a clear definition of their legal status.
