Background
In February
2003 a recommendation was made to the Minister of Fisheries that
a joint working group be established to consider the proposition
that quota rights holders should be entitled to a proportion of
deemed values paid by commercial fishermen.
A Joint
Working Group (JWG) consisting of fishing industry representatives,
Ministry of Fisheries (MFish) and Treasury staff was formed in June
2004. This JWG submitted a report to the Minister of Fisheries in
May 2005.
The report
contained nine recommendations, eight of which were agreed, the
ninth recommendation offered two options for the Minister to consider.
The Minister advised the Ministry that consultation with other stakeholders
was necessary before he considered his final decision.
MFish
Process
On August
16th 2006 MFish released a public discussion paper, Deemed Values
- The Recommendations of the Crown and Industry Joint Working Group
on Deemed Values; A Public Discussion Paper.
Accompanying
the discussion document was a letter inviting stakeholder submissions
by 13th October. On request, MFish extended that deadline to 20th
October to allow non-commercial fishing interests to submit their
views.
Non-Commercial
Process
A preliminary
view was distributed with a copy of the Public Discussion Document
on October 8th. Feedback was sought from the recipients of the email
and from others they distributed that information to. A draft submission
was distributed on October 10th incorporating most of the feedback
received over the previous two days.
Feedback
continued to be received over the following week after another three
drafts were distributed for comment. By October 18th the document
was close to being finished and distributed for final comments.
On October
20th the submission was sent to MFish on behalf of many non-commercial
fishing representative organisations, representatives and individuals.
These groups and individuals are identified in the joint submission
dated 20th October 2006.
2007 Review
In June
2007 MFish issued an Initial Position Paper (IPP) setting out their
review of the deemed value rates for a number of fishstocks including
blue cod, bluenose, gurnard, hapuku, bass, john dory, snapper, shark,
swordfish and trevally.
Non-commercial
fishers worked together to formulate a joint submission. The document
sent to MFish was signed off by the NZ Big Game Fishing Council
and option4 teams on behalf of non-commercial fishers.
2008 Review
Process
After
reviewing the 12 submissions from fishing interests, MFish provided
the Minister with a Final Advice Paper (FAP) in June 2007. The FAP
outlined the submissions and provided MFish advice on the JWG's
recommendations and how the Minster ought to proceed. The Minister
made his final decisions in March 2008.
Those
decisions were released in August 2008, with no clear indication
of why those decisions were not released earlier. Non-commercial
fishing interests have since analysed the MFish advice and Minister's
decisions.
The following table includes the documents
and submissions that form part of the overall process.
