[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 5088, member: 44"] Let's cut to the chase: the Mgmt Agency must be an 'entity' that the Minister can be confident is able to proceed with a pest managment plan. So far as I am aware, there are only 3 national pest management plans, including our own. At least one of the others is set up as a separate company, with a range of stakeholders comprising the actual agency. All I'm meaning to say is that the Minister is not going to set up something himself involving elections from levy payers or any such thing. Ultimately, it is an *entity* that puts forward a request for a PMP, that applies for the PMP. And at this time, it seems to me that ApiNZ is the only *entity* that is willing to step up to maintain what has been the case now for 23 years. So if any grouping/consortium/identifiable subset of the industry thinks it can provide a PMP to address AFB, one that can be more industry acceptable, and show capability of delivering on a plan? Then go for it, and propose a 'different' PMP. But right now I see ApiNZ as the peak representative body for the NZ beekeeping industry, even if only by default, as most of the rest is criticism but lacking in alternatives or organisation or governanace or delivery capability. So as I see it, the beekeeping industry needs to look at the current plan. Propose changes, suggest tweaks, say what has been effective, aspects that you feel have not worked - give feedback [I]on the National Pest Management Plan. [/I]Critique the plan and its powers and its rules. Query the assumptions, the cost:benefit, the expectations and budgets and methodologies described. But if your primary concern is with ApiNZ as 'the Management Agency', appointing the board that provides governance to the Pest Management Plan? Are you saying then that the plan is actually OK and acceptable, but you don't like the thought of ApiNZ being the Mgmt Agency? Show me another *entity* that is willing and able to actually do it all, or go away and create a coalition that can actually purport to be able to deliver what is needed... [/QUOTE]
