1. Government Plan 2023 – 2026 Hearing with Minister for External Relations and Minister for Treasury and Resources | JH KB |
The Panel discussed the recent correspondence it had received from the Ministerial Support Unit regarding the upcoming separate hearings with the Minister for External Relations and the Minister for Treasury and Resources. The Panel had been made aware that the Minister for Treasury and Resources did not yet have responsibility for financial services as the transfer order for allocation of responsibilities had yet to be signed. As a consequence of this, the Department has advised that it would not be legally possible for the Minister for Treasury and Resources to attend a hearing as the Minister with responsibility for financial services. The Panel was advised that responsibility for financial services laid with the Minister for External Relations and should the Panel wish to question the Minister for Treasury and Resources on this area, the Minister for External Relations would need to be present. The Panel discussed various options and agreed that it would conduct a joint hearing with both Ministers. The Panel requested that both question plans were merged into one in order to focus on matters that it considered a priority. It was also agreed that once the transfer order was signed, the Panel would invite both Ministers to separate hearings in 2023. Amendment to Government Plan The Panel discussed a possible amendment to the Government Plan regarding the additional funding of £700,000 which was due to be allocated to Jersey Business, on approval of the proposition. After discussing the matter, the Panel agreed that an amendment would be drafted for further consideration. It was further agreed that, should the Panel decide not to lodge the amendment, it could be lodged by a Member of the Panel in an independent capacity. | |

1. Briefing on Amendment to Regulations of Non Profit Organisations (NPO's) The Panel received a briefing from Departmental officers and an officer from the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) on the upcoming proposed Amendment to the Regulations of Non Profit Organisations (NPO's) due for debate at the States Sitting week commencing 12th December 2022 under P.104/2022 Draft Non Profit Organisations (Amendment of Law) (Jersey) Regulations 202-. The Panel |
|
was informed that the Amendment formed part of the recommendations required by Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for the upcoming MONEYVAL assessment due to take place in late 2023. The Panel recalled that various pieces of legislation had been lodged by the Minister for External Relations and Financial Services throughout the course of 2022 which would continue into 2023, specifically for the MONEYVAL assessment. The Panel was informed that the Amendment to the Law was approved by the previous Assembly on 27th April 2022 under P.56/2022. The Amendment granted the Minister for External Relations and Financial Services the power to impose obligations by Order on Prescribed Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs), or NPOs belonging to a Prescribed class of NPOs (the Prescribed NPO Order). The Panel was further informed that, as the Primary Law change had been approved under P.56/2022, the follow up to this piece of work may be considered relatively minor in comparison. The purpose of P.104/2022 was to introduce provisions to adequately meet the criteria set out in Recommendation 8 of the FATF Recommendations and would come into force on 1st January 2023, by Ministerial Order. Recommendation 8.3 of the FATF Recommendations 2012 required: "countries should take steps to promote effective supervision or monitoring such that they are able to demonstrate that risk-based measures apply to Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) at risk of terrorist financing abuse". The Panel was informed that in order to meet Recommendation 8 of FATF the JFSC must have the necessary supervisory, monitoring and enforcement powers in respect |
of all relevant NPOs. It was further informed that this amendment would bring NPOs that were provided with a prescribed service in the course of trust company business under the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998 within the regulatory scope of the NPO Law, just like registered NPOs. It was further informed that all NPO's, regardless of size would have to register. The Panel asked what affect this amendment would have to the small NPO's who previously did not have to register as they came under the threshold of £1,000. It was informed that the amendment, which had been approved in April 2022, meant this threshold no longer existed and all NPO's had to register. The Panel was further informed that a survey had been undertaken by industry to target the smaller NPO's and received feedback to which no major concerns were raised. It was explained to the Panel that as far as the JFSC was concerned, most of the smaller NPO's were already on the register. The Panel was informed that in total, there were around 1,300 NPO's, 735 of which were registered and 565 of which were regulated inside a Trust Company. The Panel was provided with an overview of the consultation process undertaken to date and was informed that weekly meetings had taken place with industry together with industry specific consultations to help draft the framework. The Panel asked if the Minister and the JFSC were content that the smaller NPO's were aware of the upcoming changes and whether enough had been done to inform them of the Amendment and its potential impact. It was informed that a full consultation process had been carried out which highlighted that as much as possible was being done to protect the sector overall. It was further explained that the responses to the consultation would hopefully be presented shortly. The Panel asked how many objections were raised regarding registration of NPO's to which it was informed one. The Panel went on to ask what lessons were being drawn on from other jurisdictions and was informed that Jersey was taking the lead predominately from the United Kingdom (UK). It was further informed that Jersey was not behind in the implementation of its legislation which mirrored legislation in other major jurisdictions. The Panel queried why the financial records of NPO's were kept for 5 years and not longer. It was informed that this was industry standard. The Panel queried as to the status of the Ministerial Order and was informed that the Order had been consulted on and amendments had been made as a result of the feedback received. It was due to be signed imminently. It was agreed that once the Order had been finalised, it would be forwarded to the Panel. The Panel thanked the officers for their time, and they left the meeting. |
|
2. Panel Discussion on Amendment to Regulations of Non Profit Organisations (NPO's) The Panel discussed the recently held briefing and the next steps. It was agreed that a further briefing on NPO's would be useful in the new year once the Amendment had been implemented to see how the changes were affecting industry and in particular, the smaller NPO's. The Panel also requested that Comments to the Amendment were drafted. The Officer advised that these would be circulated for consideration in due course. | JH |
