Matching Procedures

During the reporting year, the PCPD received 9 new applications for approval to carry out matching procedures and 49 requests for re-approval to continue matching procedures approved in previous years. Of these 9 new applications, 7 were requested by public sector organizations and the remaining 2 applications were made by a service company. Upon examination, the two applications made by the service company were found not to be matching procedures as defined under the PD(P)O. In respect of the other 7 applications, two were withdrawn and approval was not required in another two applications. The remaining three applications were approved subject to certain conditions.
