[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 5101, member: 44"] "Give back control". Beekeepers who paid a Commodity Levy in the first few years of the PMP had 'control', in the sense that they directly elected the NBA Exec, who acted as the statutory Mgmt Agency. The loss of beekeeper/levy payer confidence in that model (and the NBA), evidenced by the loss of the Comm Levy in 2002, saw the Minister approve a new levy, as he still believed the PMP was necessary and appropriate. The Minister retained the NBA as Mgmt Agency, as it was the industry organisation that he felt capable of delivering the PMP for the industry, even if it was not able to demonstrate it had the support of the levy payers. So far as I am aware, there are *no* Pest Management Plans (national or regional) where the levy payers vote to elect the Mgmt Agency. In some cases, people are appointed to the Mgmt Agency by various stakeholder organisations. But even then, it is by selection rather than by voting... Both the PMP and its associated levy are at the pleasure of the Minister. It is not the Minister's role to set up a Mgmt Agency, or require a particular type of voting system to create one. His role considers the proposal for a PMP and makes decisions on whether he believes the proposer is capable of delivering on the objectives within it. For the last 20 years, the Minister has relied on first the NBA, and now ApiNZ to be the Mgmt Agency, even though neither of them have chosen their management agency governance board by direct election.
