Determine Appropriate Services

There is merit in Callaghan Innovation adopting this practice, especially where the initial phase is not particularly long or costly. Co-funding rates would increase to the expected co-funding rate once Callaghan Innovation begins to supply a significant level of services. This practice is likely to be beneficial to smaller firms that need to find out what suitable services are available.

• Callaghan Innovation’s establishment phase: A case can be made for Callaghan Innovation charging lower co-funding rates for some services while it gets established in the markets for its services, and builds up its customer base and capabilities. The establishment phase could be around three to four years. The time frame for lower co-funding rates shall be clearly signalled to stakeholders, and adhered to, so that an enduring advantage is not created. This practical consideration will only apply for a small number of services, such as open labs and the Foodbowl.

• Treatment of developmental / infrastructure costs: Callaghan Innovation will have already invested in developmental and infrastructure costs for some of the products and services it provides. Where on-going public funding has been set aside for infrastructure costs (such as the National Measurement Standards appropriation – $5.8 million per annum), there is less concern about competitive neutrality because the equipment is specialised. In these cases, the concept of direct costs is used, where businesses would be charged the additional costs (eg the cost of labour, materials and the use of any specialised equipment) involved in making those products and services available.

INDICATIVE CO-FUNDING RATES

The policy principles set out above have been used to formulate indicative co-funding rates. These rates may be varied by Callaghan Innovation, in line with the practical considerations above, or as approved by the Minister of Science and Innovation. Note that any significant variation from the co-funding guidelines shall be clearly signalled and be for a limited time only (eg up to two years).

• Direct cost refers to the cost of labour, materials, and the use of any specialised equipment (including depreciation).

• Indirect cost refers to overhead including a margin for the cost of capital.

*Note that some capability in Callaghan Innovation is directly funded through Crown revenue to support national capability. Callaghan Innovation will not seek to recover costs related to national capability funding.

Dated at Wellington this 7th day of December 2013.

HON STEVEN JOYCE, Minister of Science and Innovation.

Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988

Termination of Dumping Investigation:

Diaries From the Republic of Korea

Notice is hereby given that, acting pursuant to section 11(1) of the Dumping and Countervailing Duties Act 1988 ("the Act"), I have terminated a dumping investigation in respect of diaries from the Republic of Korea, as described in the Notice of Initiation of Dumping Investigation dated the 11th day of June 2013 and published in the New Zealand Gazette, 20 June 2013, No. 78, page 2135, imported or intended to be imported into New Zealand.

I have terminated the investigation because I am satisfied, in terms of section 11(1)(b) of the Act, that there is insufficient evidence that material injury to a New Zealand industry has been or is being caused or is threatened by means of the dumping of the goods.

Dated at Wellington this 5th day of December 2013.

HON CRAIG FOSS, Minister of Commerce.
