Problems
Ministry of Fisheries
• High transaction and administration costs
• Poor incentives to deliver services efficiently
Industry
• Compulsion to pay price unrelated to benefit
• Monopoly nature of the provider (the Govt)
15
IIFET 2000 Proceedings
Principles
• Crown pays for public interest
services
• Beneficiaries pay for services to
manage harvesting
• People posing threat to the
environment pay to remedy the
threat
16
IIFET 2000 Proceedings
Reforming cost recovery
Change the processes under which
services are determined and
delivered
17
IIFET 2000 Proceedings
Reforming cost recovery
Change the processes under which
services are determined and
delivered
Change the rules for charging levies
• government delivers on its core role
• rights holders can judge how non-core
services may be best provided
