Dear Scott
Your e-mail to Mike Arbuckle regarding the process to provide
final
advice on kingfish has been forwarded to me for reply. Apologies
for
the delay in responding.
You ask what the process is for finalising advice to the
Minister and
the MInister's decision-making process. It is normally (and
will be in
this case) as follows:
-
The Ministry compiles and summarises
submissions received on
its initial proposals for TACs allowances and TACCs and
the MInister's
initial view
-
Issues raised in submissions are considered and a response is developed
-
Final advice to the Minister is developed to outline
-
Initial proposals
-
Stakeholder responses
-
Ministry consideration and response to stakeholder views
-
Recommendations
The Minister then considers this advice and the views of
stakeholders
and decides from the options presented or an alternative
if he/she
prefers. The Minister is currently considering kingfish
final advice.
Once the decisions of the Minister are known then these
are advised to
stakeholders in writing and normally a copy of the final
advice to the
Minister is available at this time on request.
Hope this answers your enquiry
Regards
Arthur Hore
