4 Communications VOTE MINISTER: Minister of Communications ADMINISTERING DEPARTMENT: Ministry of Economic Development The Minister for Economic Development is the Responsible Minister for the Ministry of Economic Development Part A - Statement of Objectives and Trends Part A1 - Objectives for Vote Communications Related Government Outcomes The services to be purchased under Vote Communications will contribute to the Government s Key Goals, primarily in the areas of: Growing an Inclusive, Innovative Economy for the Benefit of All, by providing policy advice on the regulation of the telecommunications, broadcasting and postal sectors, and managing the radio spectrum efficiently and effectively Strengthen National Identity and uphold the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, by promoting Maori language and culture through a range of Maori broadcasting initiatives. Output Classes Outputs purchased from the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) will contribute to the Government s strategic priorities in varying degrees. Specific key priorities and action steps are incorporated in the Purchase and Performance Agreement between the Minister and the Chief Executive and will subsequently be reflected in staff performance agreements. The appropriations are intended to fund activities, which fall into the following broad areas: Policy advice in respect of telecommunications, postal services, broadcasting and the management of the radio spectrum Operational management of the radio spectrum. 192 B.5 Vol.I
5 Part A2 - Trends in Vote Communications Classes of Outputs to be Supplied Up until 1998/99 output costs remained relatively constant. Since then a number of changes have occurred in Vote Communications impacting on its appropriations. Non-Departmental Output for Maori Broadcasting has been increased in 2000/01. This increase replaces funding previously provided to Te Mangai Paho through the Public Broadcasting Fee, collected by NZ On Air and transferred to Te Mangai Paho under a ministerial direction pursuant to section 53L of the Broadcasting Act The Public Broadcasting Fee was abolished with effect from 1 July Offsetting this change is one off funding transferred from 1998/99 to 1999/2000 reflecting delays in the timing of expenses incurred in the establishment of a Maori television channel. Furthermore, during 1999/2000 the Administration of Public Broadcasting Funding, Public Broadcasting Funding and associated policy advice functions have moved from Vote Communications to Vote Culture and Heritage, following the transfer of responsibilities of the Broadcasting Commission (NZ on Air) from the Ministry of Economic Development to the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. The full impact of these changes is reflected in reduced 2000/01 appropriations. Other changes to departmental activities have also had an impact on the appropriation trends for Vote Communications. These mainly reflect the following: the successful completion of Year 2000 readiness initiatives during the 1999/2000 year means that no appropriation is sought in 2000/01 for these outputs ($4.240 million in 1999/2000); the transfer of IT policy ($0.628 million) to Vote Commerce from 2000/2001 reflecting more appropriately the wider role that IT plays in the economy additional funding of $0.644 million for 1999/2000 and $0.191 million for 2000/2001 for the Ministerial Inquiry into Telecommunications. Crown Revenue and Receipts The fluctuations in Crown revenue over the period are generally due to the number and nature of radio spectrum auctions held and the extent to which licence holders seek replacement licences. Strategic Issues In 1999/2000 the Government established the Ministerial Inquiry into Telecommunications to examine whether the current regulatory environment is best suited to achieving its objective in this sector. A major focus for the Ministry of Economic Development in 2000/2001 will be the implementation of Government decisions on the recommendations of the Inquiry, including detailed legislation and regulation.
